Inspectors find the standard of investigations by Devon and Cornwall Police has 'deteriorated'.
The standard of investigations carried out by Devon and Cornwall Police has "deteriorated", according to the police inspectorate.
Devon and Cornwall Police said it had raised "significant concerns" about some of the inspection being based on historical data which it said "does not accurately reflect improvements the force has made".HMICFRS said the force's standards of investigations have deteriorated with many of them "lacking a detailed plan or effective supervision".
The inspectorate found the force had a good approach to preventing and deterring crime, antisocial behaviour and vulnerable people. "We have made progress since the last inspection, but I recognise there is still much more to do if we are to deliver a better level of service to our communities and reduce some of the pressure on our colleagues.”
