Areas for improvement

- The force needs to improve the training and support it provides for its student investigators.
- The force should make sure its officers are appropriately trained in public and personal safety training and improve data visibility and risk assessment for expired public and personal safety training.
- The force should provide training for officers on how to safeguard children involved in stop and search or use of force incidents, to ensure compliance with its policy.
- The force should make sure there is supervisory oversight of investigations and that officers take all investigative opportunities.
- The force should make sure it has effective processes to manage pre-charge bail.

What this means for your board
A promotion board at Humberside isn’t only assessing whether you can lead a team. It’s assessing whether you understand the force you’re asking to lead in, and where your leadership fits its priorities. Officers who connect their examples to what Humberside is actually focused on stand out. Officers who stay inside their own team don’t.
You don’t do this by quoting the inspection report. You do it by letting your force’s priorities shape the decisions in your answers. If you want the full method, read our guide on what HMICFRS grades mean for your promotion board.
