Police watchdog ends close scrutiny

The Nottingham Post reports today that:

“A Government watchdog has today ended its close scrutiny of Notts Police after the force made significant improvements in cutting crime over the last year…

Zoë Billingham, HMI for Nottinghamshire, said Notts Police’s performance had been a “real concern” 12 months ago but that it had made “impressive improvements” during that time to address concerns.”

Interestingly an early version of this story quoted Jon Collins admitting that 2003 was a low point in terms of crime; but that things have got better. I didn’t save it unfortunately and it has now disappeared.

But it was significant that Councillor Jon Collins had finally admitted that there was a real problem with crime in Nottingham.
