Summary of recommendations 31 Appendices I Inspection team 35 II Summary of detainee questionnaires and interviews 36 Staffordshire police custody suites 3 Staffordshire police custody suites 4 1. Introduction This report is part of a programme of inspections of police custody carried out jointly by our two inspectorates and which form a key part of the joint work programme of the criminal justice inspectorates. These inspections also contribute to the United Kingdom’s response to its international obligation to ensure regular and independent inspection of all places of detention. The inspections look at strategy, treatment and conditions, individual rights and health care. This unannounced inspection looked at three 24/7 custody suites and two stand-by custody suites operated by Staffordshire Police. At the strategic level, we found an appropriate oversight of the custody function but insufficient clarity of structure at several points. A centralised custody model had been in place for almost two years, but was not fully embedded in consistent standards and practice. Systems of accountability for quality and safety needed to be clear, consistent and subject to monitoring by senior managers.
