Both the Ministry of Defence and the Army are committed to rigorous independent scrutiny of the Service police, and are very grateful for all the work HMIC have done.
As the Army’s police, the RMP is there to provide prompt, independent and effective police investigations to support the maintenance of discipline, operational effectiveness, and provide individuals with the protections and safeguards afforded to them by law.
The inspection focused in the strategic leadership, governance and performance management of investigations, and as part of our commitment to continuous improvement we are already addressing the areas of improvement identified by HMIC.
