Monthly meetings where the PCC holds Cleveland police accountable for police performance.

Showing all Scrutiny Meetings

  • Use of Out of Court Resolutions and Outcome 16

    Meeting date:

    Decision of PCC: Not assured

    Reason of Decision:

    Since the previous update in September 2024, when the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) was partly assured, the PCC has concluded improvement plans are in place.

    However, they have yet to demonstrate meaningful impact on Out-of-Court Resolution (OoCR) rates.

    Enhancing performance in this area is important, taking into consideration the national emphasis on expanding the use of OoCRs and the strategic priorities outlined in the Police and Crime Plan. In particular, the plan’s commitment to improving use of OoCR and ensuring victims feel supported and heard.

    The PCC will continue to monitor developments closely, with a further performance update to be requested in six months

    Topic: Out of Court Resolutions and Outcome 16
