HMICFRS PEEL Ratings

Most recently published HMICFRS PEEL inspection ratings for every UK police force, in one table.

PEEL (Police Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy) is HMICFRS's framework for inspecting UK forces. Each force is graded on a 5-point scale: outstanding, good, adequate, requires improvement, inadequate. 43 of 48 forces have a HMICFRS PEEL rating on BlueLineHub. The 4 forces without a rating (Police Scotland, PSNI, BTP and MoD Police) are inspected by different bodies, not HMICFRS.
