It is the author's fondest wish that Community Relations Concepts will contribute to a better understanding and more effective operation of the system by both students planning to enter and those already engaged in this most challenging area of public service.

HMIs are appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and report to HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, who is the Home Secretary’s principal professional policing adviser and is independent of both the Home Office and the police service. HMIC’s principal statutory duties are set out in the Police Act 1996. For more information, please visit HMIC’s website at http://inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/.
