HMICFRS today (Friday 16 June) confirmed that its inspection found that the effectiveness of arrangements for vetting and counter-corruption in Gwent Police are adequate.
The inspection took place in December 2022.
The inspection report found that:
Where areas for improvement were noted action has already been taken to address any concerns.
Head of professional standards superintendent Sam Payne said: “This inspection report is extremely helpful in assuring the public that we have a full range of measures in place to vet new and existing officers in a thorough and timely way. It also evidences the work we do to maintain professional standards of behaviour.
“We have set our clear expectations around how we expect our officers and staff to behave and the high standards the public rightly expect of us. The inspection findings highlight that we have robust processes in place to identify any potential areas of concern. When colleagues fail to uphold those standards we will not hesitate to take action.”
