The report, published under the Police Efficiency, Effectiveness and Legitimacy (PEEL) programme, shows improvements taking place across the board, with the force achieving improved ratings in the majority of categories since the last PEEL inspection in 2022. Against the backdrop of many forces seeing their gradings reduce in this current inspection window, it sees Staffordshire Police emerge as one of the most improved forces in the country. This positive inspection follows the force being removed from HMICFRS’ ‘Engage’ enhanced monitoring process in May following improvements to specific areas of our service.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 24/9/2024 News Investigating organised human trafficking crimes: case studies of police investigations in England Investigating organised human trafficking criminality is neither easy nor straightforward. Among the complexity is the need to balance and secure multiple, and often competing, investigative goals. Using case studies of actual human trafficking investigations in England, the present exploratory study provides insights into the tensions between safeguarding victims while also (at the same time) building up evidence against those who exploit them in order to secure a successful prosecution. Findings reveal that factors associated with the assessed level of risk of victims, the intelligence available at the start of the investigation and police resources (balanced with opportunities and risk to secure the investigative goals) influence the investigative approach followed and strategies implemented, particularly those aiming to engage with victims. The exploratory findings illustrate the importance of intelligence in risk assessment and decision-making processes during police operations, but also the need to conduct yet further research on risk assessment within the context of human trafficking investigations to inform policy and decision-making policing practices.
