Police reform presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the service provided to the public.
Today we have published State of Policing 2025–26, HM Chief Inspector Michelle Skeer’s annual assessment of policing in England and Wales.

Today we’ve published performance levels for all 43 police forces in England and Wales under the new Policing Performance System.
Developed with the @ukhomeoffice, @CollegeofPolice and other policing partners, it aims to strengthen accountability and support earlier improvement.
ALT Infographic titled “The new Policing Performance System” on a dark blue background. Four numbered performance levels are shown in stacked boxes. Level One: default position, no formal intervention needed. Level Two: non-systemic or multiple minor issues, or issues improving but requiring oversight; forces can access additional support. Level Three: more serious or systemic concerns; forces develop a formal improvement plan with targeted support. Level Four (Special Measures): critical performance failings requiring the highest level of oversight and accountability. Home Office, HMICFRS, and College of Policing logos appear at the bottom.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week.
Recognising when you're struggling is a first step and reaching out to someone can make a big difference.
If you're worried about yourself or someone you know, you don't have to do it alone.

Rural voices. Real impact. That was felt throughout the #NRCNAnnualConference 2026.
As the day closed, the message was clear: progress is happening, but there is still more to do.
The new two-year strategy focuses on making rural crime a national priority. #RuralCrimeMatters

Derbyshire PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, who also serves as the APCC Joint Lead for Economic, Cybercrime, Fraud and Online Safety has welcomed the launch. 🙌
In her comments — shared alongside fellow Joint Lead Tijs Broeke — she highlights why this new service is so important as fraud continues to grow in scale and sophistication.
Report Fraud brings reporting, advice and specialist victim support into one place, helping policing and partners build a stronger national intelligence picture and better protect the public. 🔍🛡️
If you think you’ve been targeted — or just want to check something suspicious — use Report Fraud to get help and make a report. Every report makes a difference.

In the latest in a regular series of articles from the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC), Roger Hirst, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex and APCC Joint Finance Lead, explores the funding challenges facing forces and PCCs in England and Wales following last week’s announcement of the 2026/27 core grant for policing, and highlights extra funding needed to meet government ambitions around issues such as violence against women and girls, and knife crime.

An honour to once again open the @AssocPCCs & @PoliceChiefs Partnership summit.
On behalf of all #PCCs, I highlighted our disappointment & concerns about the Government's plans to change police governance and the risks it poses to hundreds of local programmes we run which prevent crime, engage young people & support victims.
But I also set out our determination to continue to work on the challenges facing policing, because they are bigger than any individual PCC or Chief.
And our commitment to making sure that whatever model follows is accountable & connected to the communities it serves - the public deserve nothing less.

Technology is advancing at remarkable speed. Policing must harness these innovations, but always with ethics and public trust at the forefront.
Artificial Intelligence and live facial recognition can improve productivity and safety, yet their use must be principled, transparent and subject to robust oversight.

In the latest in a regular series of articles from the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC), Bedfordshire PCC John Tizard, the APCC’s Joint Lead on Performance, Data and New Tech Ethics, looks at the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and technology in policing, and highlights the steps he has taken in his own force around accountability and governance, which could help achieve the APCC’s aim of a roadmap towards a strong ethical governance framework with PCCs at the centre.

Today I publish my largest ever Victims’ Survey: over 6,500 victims sharing their experiences.
One finding stands out: fewer than half believe they would get justice if they reported a crime.
That should trouble us all.
