PSNI Welcomes 'Positive' Crime Data Inspection Report
PSNI Assistant Chief Officer, Aldrina Magwood, has welcomed the positive findings of His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) report.
HMICFRS has published its review of its inspection of crime data integrity of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Speaking about this report, ACO Magwood said: "We welcome this positive report grading our performance as good in crime recording. This is very encouraging as determined efforts are made by officers and staff to maintain high-quality crime data.
"This is important for Keeping People Safe as this information builds a picture of where, when and how often crime is happening. This helps us to signpost victims to appropriate support services and when planning where to use our resources to best effect in investigations.
"The Inspector states he is pleased with the Police Service's recording of reported crime and notes that the service has maintained the high standards found since the last inspection of crime-data integrity in 2015. This extends to the well-established processes for crime recording and the application of relevant training for officers and staff involved in this work.
"We acknowledge that there are areas for improvement, and will now consider how we take forward the recommendations made by the Inspector.
"It is vital that people continue to tell us about crime when they see or experience it. We would encourage anyone who has been a victim of crime or has information about crime to report it to us.
"Our priority remains – to deliver a visible, accessible and responsive community-focused policing service to keep people safe."
