The damning findings and recommendations of that inquiry are etched into the fabric of UK policing’s history - but the positive outcomes, hard won, are real. Our progress since has not been smooth, either, with missteps and setbacks along the way.

And so we cannot directly compare policing in the UK to that of our counterparts in the USA.
