In 2022, we changed how we inspect this aspect of policing, to incorporate inspections of the ten regions, as well as the nine regional organised crime units (ROCUs) throughout England and Wales and the 43 police forces. This improves our understanding of how well forces and ROCUs work together to tackle SOC. This report includes sections on the following: Regional findings – a summary of inspection evidence that identifies good or poor performance within the region; in other words, involving or relating to the ROCU and its constituent forces. The performance of the region is not given a graded judgment. Instead, we highlight areas for improvement, causes of concern, and innovative and promising practice in this section, where applicable.
