The Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire Constabulary has praised a “positive” police report.
Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) said in yesterday’s Legitimacy report that the force is “good” at treating the people it serves with fairness and respect.
The report also highlighted the force is “good at how legitimately it keeps people safe and reduces crime” and ensuring its workforce behaves ethically and lawfully.
Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, David Lloyd, said: “This is a positive report into the leadership of the Constabulary and it demonstrates that keeping people safe and reducing crime are at the centre of our priorities.
“A confident and well-run police service provides reassurance to the community and ensures officers act in the way our residents would expect them to, and I know this is the case in Hertfordshire.”
Chief constable Charlie Hall added: “I am pleased the report recognises our commitment to police Hertfordshire with respect and fairness as well as the importance we put on ensuring we act ethically and lawfully at all times.
“The report also recognises how we are always actively seeking to improve and we will act on the recommendations within the report to further develop fair and effective policing.”
The Community Stop and Search Panel highlighted that there should be younger members on the panel.
