They said this includes, but is not limited, to:
- Working together as part of a smarter system;
- Adopting a smarter systems approach to inspection – working together to tackle difficult problems in policing;
- Identifying and sharing valuable information about promising and innovative practice with the police – including through the college’s practice bank; and
- Working together to investigate super-complaints from organisations designated by the Home Office;
In a joint statement, the college and HMICFRS said both organisations are “committed to working together constructively and positively”, in particular through: consulting each other on areas of mutual interest; sharing information and analysis as appropriate; and working together where there is a common aim or wider benefit for the policing sector.
They said the memorandum of understanding will be reviewed and updated regularly.
