Ethics Committee

Promotes ethical conduct within Cleveland police through independent review and guidance.

The Ethics Committee promotes the highest standards of ethical conduct within Cleveland Police.

The Independent Scrutiny Volunteers, who sit on the Ethics Committee, make a key contribution to maintaining and improving trust and confidence in the police.

The Committee acts as a “critical friend” to the Force. It improves transparency of decision-making, for the benefit of Cleveland’s communities.

To support Cleveland Police, the Committee scrutinises, challenges and advises on policies, procedures, decision-making, leadership, culture and conduct.
