Theresa May has launched a 6-week public consultation on measures intended to ensure that the systems & processes that deal with misconduct by police officers are robust, independent & transparent to the public.

In July, the Minister commissioned Major-General Chip Chapman to review the police disciplinary system.  His report has been completed and she will consult on his recommendations for wide-ranging reform shortly.  That consultation will also include proposals to fundamentally reform the police complaints system and further protections for police whistleblowers.
