<p>The Home Office collects and publishes data on police misconduct cases finalised
during a financial year period in the <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fcollections%2Fpolice-misconduct-statistics&data=05%7C01%7CIan.Balbi%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cacf35001f25a4e6d840708db2ac40675%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638150793620816650%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=H8jXyq0GaHxfYS%2FIJaATcWr9YtJInXnyifYJ82mtNAo%3D&reserved=0"
target="_blank">‘Police misconduct, England and Wales’</a> statistical bulletin. It
does not therefore include cases which have been referred to misconduct proceedings,
where those proceedings have not yet concluded. <br> <br> The Government is unable
to comment on on-going misconduct proceedings, which are rightly conducted independently
of government. There are therefore no plans to provide briefing on this or any specific
misconduct hearing, nor is the Government able to provide any details relating to
legally qualified chairs (LQC), who are appointed to both their role and individual
panels by Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). Any decision concerning publication
of an LQC’s name is a matter for the relevant PCC</p><p><br> Cleveland’s most recent
Police Efficiency, Effectiveness and Legitimacy report, published by His Majesty’s
Inspectorate for Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS), showed positive
improvement in a number of key areas, including its crime recording and treatment
of the public. However, it still has further to go to meet acceptable performance
standards in respect of preventing crime and understanding and addressing its demand.
As such HMICFRS have confirmed it will continue to be engaged. It remains PCC Turner’s
responsibility to ensure that Chief Constable Webster takes effective action to address
the inspectorate’s recommendations. We will continue to take a close interest in the
force’s progress as a member of the HMICFRS-chaired Police Performance Oversight Group.</p>
