Police: Complaints
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data her Department holds for each police force on the time taken to resolve complaints brought in relation to policing standards and policy.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office does not hold complete data on the time taken to resolve police complaints.
As overseers of the police complaints system in England and Wales, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) collect and publish data on public complaints, including information on the time taken to finalise complaint allegations.
Published information can be found at:

Breakdowns of timeliness by allegation type (nature of allegation) are not published.
