Drawing upon data from both the computer-aided dispatch and records management systems of a mid-size police agency in Western Canada, we identify and then descriptively assess all wellness checks conducted in 2020 (N = 1,114 events). As part of our exploration, we explore the nature of these events, the characteristics of those involved, and the responses of the police. Our results reveal a series of patterns regarding the characteristics and outcomes of these events, including by ‘official’ versus ‘unofficial’ status. Our results also shed insight into the challenges of using police data for these kinds of research questions. By providing researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with an empirical analysis of wellness checks, we hope to contribute to evidence-based decision-making about these events moving forward.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 19/2/2022 Feature, Opinion We must be relentless in demanding the best from our police’ In his latest blog post, West Midlands Police Chief Constable Sir David Thompson says policing needs to create a stronger culture that eliminates bias, discrimination and racism and misogyny from its ranks. Police Professional 18/2/2022 Feature, Opinion Latest blog from Sir David Thompson: We must be relentless in demanding the best from our police The last few months have been traumatic for policing in London and have damaged confidence in our service. Let’s be clear. There are no excuses for the appalling behaviour shown in Operation Hotton at Charing Cross or the disgraceful and disrespectful attitudes shown in the grotesque treatment of Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry. These cases frighten us all as they show the graphic thoughts of those to whom we entrust our safety. Horrifyingly, these deplorable people appeared to find like-minded souls in a service that stands for justice and law. Cases where officers have exploited their position for sexual gain are far too frequent. The Couzens case is beyond words. Be under no illusion, we are a service horrified by the events we have seen. The public are right to be shocked. I do however feel duty bound as Chief Constable to offer a perspective from within the service at this turbulent moment.
