This is HMICFRS’s second statutory inspection of the Royal Air Force Police (RAFP) under Section 4 of this act.

This inspection focused on the effectiveness of the policing performance management process.

In the written ministerial statement, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Defence, Tobias Ellwood, yesterday said:

“I consider this report to be a very positive endorsement of the RAFP providing assurance from an independent civilian authority that the RAFP has a strong performance management process for investigations. No recommendations were necessary although a number of areas for improvement have been identified. The Royal Air Force accepts the report’s findings and work is already under way to address the areas for improvement.”
