Inspections
His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) inspects and monitors the territorial police forces in England and Wales. It makes regular assessment of police force performance, called Peel Inspections (Police Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy) and use inspection findings, analysis and professional judgement to assess how good forces are in several areas of policing. Most of these areas are then graded as outstanding, good, adequate, requires improvement or inadequate.
