The Police Superintendents' Association cautiously welcomes the publication of the Police Report Card and Irene Curtis, Vice-President-elect, said: 'We welcome the fact that HMIC has endeavoured to understand what information the public wants to know about how their local police are performing, and the fact that the Report Card goes beyond the 'traditional' performance data.
'It is important, however, to ensure that the information provided on the website is as up to date as possible and includes contextual detail that helps the public to understand the complexity of policing and the difficulty of comparing policing areas.
'As leaders in the Service, we are incredibly proud of the fantastic job our officers and staff are doing to improve people's lives in our communities and we hope that this new initiative goes some way to communicate that message and helps boost public confidence.
'Forces are working hard to improve the confidence of the public in policing and inaccurate or out of date information could undermine those efforts.'
