Cont’d… Communication problems Training Record keeping/monitoring Cell design/Risk Assessments/Custodial Health & Safety

HMIP/HMIC inspections of police custody Poor recording and analysis of use of force Authorisation and incidence of strip searches and use of force – use of strip clothing Too many mental health detainees in police custody Unsatisfactory risk management

Regulation 28 Prevention of Future Deaths reports (previously Rule 43 reports) and narrative conclusions/verdicts Learning tool to prevent future fatalities More meaningful outcome for bereaved families Current limitations: Lack of detailed monitoring, analysis or follow up
