Humberside Policeis theterritorial police forceresponsible for policing theEast Riding of Yorkshire,includingKingston upon Hull,and northern parts ofLincolnshire,includingGrimsbyandScunthorpe.

History[edit]

Humberside Police was created in 1974 following a merger of previous forces under theLocal Government Act 1972,along with thenon-metropolitan countyofHumberside.

Proposals made by theHome Secretaryon 21 March 2006, would have seen the force merge withNorth Yorkshire Police,South Yorkshire PoliceandWest Yorkshire Policeto form a strategic police force for the entire region.[5]These proposals were later scrapped.

Following the abolition of Humberside in 1996, the local council members of thePolice Authoritywere appointed by a joint committee of the councils of the East Riding of Yorkshire,Kingston upon Hull,North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire. On 21 November 2012, the Police Authority was made redundant by the election of theHumberside Police and Crime Commissioner(PCC). The authority, at the time it ceased to exist, had 17 members in total; nine Local Authority Elected members from the area's four unitary authorities and eight independent members.[6]

Chief constables[edit]

From March 2013 to February 2017, thechief constableof Humberside Police was Justine Curran, previously chief constable ofTayside Policein Scotland before the introduction of the nationalPolice Scotlandservice on 1 April 2013. Her appointment was unanimously approved by the Humberside Police and Crime panel after PCCMatthew Grove,proposed her for the post.[11]Curran took over the position fromTim Hollis,who retired from the service in March 2013.

On 11 November 2015, it was revealed that Curran had claimed for more than £39,000 in expenses for her relocation from Tayside to Humberside in March 2013.[12]

AfterKeith Hunterwas elected as PCC in May 2016, Curran was given six months to improve the force after it was rated inadequate byHer Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary(HMIC). Nine months later, after a further HMIC inspection which identified further "significant failings", Hunter asked Curran to consider her position, and she announced her retirement.[13]She left on 20 February 2017, 18 months before she had been due to retire.[14]

In August 2017, it was revealed that Hunter had "lost confidence" in Curran and was "completely undermined" by her when it was decided to withhold the findings of an HMIC investigation which revealed further inadequacies within the force. Hunter sought legal advice, and Curran was allowed to retire before the statutory procedure to remove a chief constable was started.[13]

Lee Freeman, a former assistant chief constable in Lincolnshire from August 2013 who had joined Humberside in May 2015, took over as deputy chief constable on Curran's departure. He was appointed temporary chief constable in May 2017 and the position was made permanent on 26 June 2017.[15]

Freeman implemented a callout system named 'Right Care, Right Person' (RCRP) in May 2020, in which Humberside officers would only attend mental health-related callouts deemed 'essential' and instead have other callouts responded to by medical services. As of May 2023, Freeman claims that Humberside has achieved more arrests per 1,000 people in the population under RCRP while still attending 25% of mental health callouts, with officers having attended 508 fewer callouts per month. RCRP is planned to be copied by theMetropolitan Policeand other police forces in England and Wales.[16]

In August 2023 Paul Anderson, previously the Assistant Chief Constable under Freeman, took over as Chief Constable of Humberside Police. In June 2024, Anderson announced his intention to retire.[17]

In July 2024, Judi Heaton was appointed as interim Chief Constable for six-months.[10]

Notable incidents and investigations[edit]

Notable major incidents and investigations in which Humberside Police have been involved in include:

  • July 2010:Northumbria Police manhunt:Humberside Police was involved in the major police manhunt forRaoul Moatwho, upon release from prison, shot his ex-girlfriend's new partner, his ex-girlfriend and the then serving traffic police Officer, PCDavid Rathband.Humberside Police, along with other police forces, provided mutual aid toNorthumbria Policeby providing armed police officer to assist in the armed police coverage and search for Raoul Moat.[26]
  • August 2011:2011 England Riots:Specially trained officers were sent to assist theMetropolitan Policeas riots broke out across the London area, which later spread across the country. under the command of ACC Stuart Donald, who was the senior force Chief officer, responsible for the deployment and co-ordination of operations in relation to the riots. Over 50 officers travelled to London to assist the Met Police.[27]
  • February 2019: Disappearance of Libby Squire: On 1 February 2019, Humberside police launched a major search for missing Hull University student Libby Squire. Appeals were made on social media and a large police presence was focused around the Beverley Road area of Hull. Humberside Police arrested a man on suspicion of abduction a few days later and charged him with several unrelated offences. He was released under investigation in connection to Libby Squire. Seven weeks later, the body of Libby Squire was discovered in the Humber Estuary, over 30 miles from her last known location in Hull.[28]On 24 October 2019, police charged 25 year old Pawel Relowicz for therape and murder of Libby Squire.[29]On 10 February 2021, Pawel Relowicz was found guilty of rape and murder.[30]

Notable incidents and investigations involving Humberside officers include:

  • The 1998death of Christopher Alder,a black man who wasunlawfully killedwhile in the custody of Humberside Police, led to an investigation by theIndependent Police Complaints Commissionand a subsequent apology by the government in theEuropean Court of Human Rights,admitting that it had failed to meet its obligations regarding preservation of life and ensuring no person is subjected to "inhuman or degrading treatment".[31][32]Five Humberside Police officers were charged withmanslaughterandmisconduct in public officebut the trial collapsed and the judge ordered the jury to find the officers not guilty on all charges.[33]
  • In mid-2004, the force refused to dismiss Chief ConstableDavid Westwooddespite instructions from the thenHome Secretary,David Blunkett.[34]The Home Secretary eventually obtained a court order suspending Westwood.[35]The force had come under pressure to dismiss Westwood when theSoham Inquiryapportioned part of the blame to Humberside Police for not properly informing the authorities ofGrimsby-born Ian Huntley, who was known to Humberside Police and localsocial services,after reports of ninesexual offencesof which Huntley had been suspected, and also an alleged burglary. In only one of the sex offence investigations was Huntley charged (with rape) and remanded in custody, but the case was dropped due to insufficient evidence, and his burglary case wasleft on file.Huntley was not convicted of any crime (his only actual conviction was for a minor motoring offence in 1993), and Humberside Police did not adequately inform the authorities inCambridgeshireabout Huntley when he moved toSohamto work as a school caretaker. He was found guilty of murdering two 10-year-old girls (Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman) in 2003. This led to the Bichard enquiry for the police force and the Kelly report for the local council (North East Lincolnshire Council).[36][37]
  • In 2005,Colin Inglis,its chairman at the time of the previous crisis, appeared in court charged with indecent assaults against children dating back to the 1980s.[38][39]Inglis was cleared of all charges in July 2006.[40]
  • In January 2015, former Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Andrews was convicted of common assault, harassment, stalking, and witness intimidation.[41]Court testimony revealed that other senior officers in Humberside Police questioned whether an investigation into Andrews' conduct should have gone ahead, concerned by "the 'dirt' he might throw" and the damage caused to the force's reputation.[42]One victim, a police inspector, expressed fear of aGoole-based "mafia" of senior officers that included Andrews.[43]
  • In November 2015, a sergeant with 27 years' service was dismissed after kicking a 16-year-old boy in the head following a chase. Sergeant John Stevenson was involved in one of the most high-profile cases in Humberside Police's recent history when he arrested his own boss, Colin Andrews, who was found guilty of stalking, harassment and assault in January.[44]Many speculated that the sergeant was used as a scapegoat.[45]
  • Former police officer, Harry Miller, was questioned over the telephone in January 2019 by a Humberside Police constable for 34 minutes after being reported for a non-crime "hate incident" for liking and making Twitter posts that were considered transphobic.[46]The High Court ruled in 2020 that the questioning was unlawful and represented a "disproportionate interference" with Miller's right to freedom of expression.[47]
  • Former constable Daniel Whitehead, who resigned from the force in January, was found guilty ofgross misconductat a Humberside Police Misconduct Board hearing in February 2023 at Goole Magistrates Court and was permanently barred nationwide from working for the police. Whitehead had posted content considered inappropriate, grossly offensive and sexually explicit on social media profiles that identified him as a Humberside police officer between September 2021 and March 2022, despite being repeatedly told to stop doing so by his supervisors, and an internal investigation by Humberside Police was triggered when he disclosed his personal information to colleagues and showed them a picture of a naked man on his phone around September or October 2022.[48]

Operations[edit]

Custody suites[edit]

Humberside Police has two custody suites in Hull and Grimsby that operate 24/7 and hold prisoners who have been arrested by officers in the force. A 40-cell custody suite is located at Clough Road police station in Hull, opened in 2013 as part of a £32 million replacement for the Queens Gardens police station in the city centre,[49][50]while prisoners on the south bank of the Humber are held in a £14million 36-cell custody suite at Birchin Way in Grimsby, which opened in March 2019 to replace custody suites in Grimsby and Scunthorpe. The Birchin Way custody suite includes a secure holding bay for arriving prisoners, CCTV monitoring throughout, on-site medical facilities and a special 'orange' holding cell for vulnerable prisoners.[51]

Vehicle fleet[edit]

Humberside uses a wide variety of vehicles, including both marked and unmarked police vehicles.[specify]The force is one of many police forces across the United Kingdom to merge its maintenance operations with the area fire service, forming Emergency Services Fleet Management (Humberside) in partnership with theHumberside Fire and Rescue Servicein 2015. Joint maintenance operations are based at a single workshop inMelton.[52]

In September 1994, in response to a rise in vehicle crime within the force's operating area, especially concentrated in Hull, Humberside Police founded the Vehicle Crime Unit. The unit was initially formed with six traffic officers as well as the dogs of the force's Dog Section, and made use of a modifiedFord Escort RS Cosworthequipped with an in-car video camera as well as a convertedVauxhall Senatordog carrier for traffic pursuits.[53][54]The Escort Cosworth, as well as aVolvo 850T5, were both replaced by twoSubaru Impreza Turbosin June 1998,[55]while the Senator was replaced by aVauxhall Omegaaround the same period.[56]

Throughout the 2000s, Humberside Police standardised on theVolvo V70for their traffic fleet, as well as in other force operations.[57]High-performance traffic vehicles acquired for the force's Road Crime Unit in this period included threeSubaru Imprezas,[58]a pair ofMitsubishi Lancer Evolution Xand aLexus IS-F.[59][60]

From 1997 until the early 2010s, Humberside Police operated a majority of its fleet vehicles onliquefied petroleum gasfuel, with some supplied asbi-fuel vehicles,in order to cut costs on fuelling the fleet.[61]The first fleet vehicles supplied with LPG fuel were two convertedVauxhall Astras,supplied in March 1997 as part of a three-year trial in a partnership betweenCalor Gas,theEnergy Saving TrustandVauxhall Motors.[62]A majority of vehicles later supplied with LPG fuelling systems included theProton Personaand the laterProton ImpianandGEN•2,most for use as general purpose fleet vehicles.[63][64]

Aviation[edit]

Humberside's 'Oscar 99' helicopter atSewerby Hall,Bridlingtonin September 2011

Humberside Police first acquired apolice helicopterin August 1996, purchasing a usedEurocopter BO 105from theNorwegian Air Ambulance Service.The helicopter, later codenamed Oscar 99, was equipped with athermal image cameraand conventional video camera, a radio system giving access to emergency service frequencies, and as part of its previousair ambulanceuse, a stretcher for hospital patient transport.[65]Oscar 99 became operational from its base atRAF Leconfieldon 26 December 1996, first used to help locate a care home resident reported missing from anApplebycare home.[66]

In 2001, Humberside Police acquired aMcDonnell Douglas MD 902 Explorerto replace the Eurocopter. Around this time, Oscar 99 was moved from RAF Leconfield to be based atHumberside Airport.[67]

Humberside's helicopter operations would be taken over by theNational Police Air Service(NPAS) on 27 September 2016,[68]making the force the last in England and Wales to operate its own helicopter independently.[69][70]Humberside Police and Crime CommissionerMatthew Grovewas initially reluctant to hand over Oscar 99 to NPAS after the service had proposed cutting ten of its helicopter bases, stating in September 2015 that while the force would work towards joining NPAS the following September, NPAS must both provide "satisfactory" air cover for residents of the Humberside area and be "appropriate and affordable" for the taxpayer as a replacement for Oscar 99.[70]An agreement for Humberside to join NPAS would eventually be signed in May 2016;[71]police air cover in the Humberside area is now provided through fixed-wingVulcanair P-68Caircraft based atLeeds Bradford Airport.[72][73]

Mounted unit[edit]

Until 2013, Humberside Police maintained amounted policeunit latterly consisting of six horses based at stables inWalkington.The mounted section was disbanded in July 2013 in order to save £500,000 per year amid budget cuts to the force, with the unit reported to have been deployed only 27 times during 2012.[74]Five of the six horses were sold to other police forces in the United Kingdom following the unit's disbandment,[75]and the Walkington stables were later sold to a private buyer in August 2015.[76]

Performance[edit]

The force underperformed for a number of years. In October 2006 it was named as the worst-performing police force in the country (jointly withNorthamptonshire Police), based on data released from theHome Office[77][78]

In 2007 the force moved off the bottom of the unofficial league table thanks to "major improvements" in performance, according to the Home Office.[79]

Performance continued to improve, with a 20% reduction in total recorded crime as at March 2009. Recorded vehicle crime was down 39%, domestic burglary was down 12%, and robbery was down 36%. Home Office figures published in July 2009 showed that from 2007/08 to 2008/09, Humberside Police had the second highest increase of all forces in England and Wales in the percentage ofBritish Crime Surveyrespondents who said that their local police do an excellent or good job.

After inspections byHer Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary(HMIC) between April and August 2009, their report identified Humberside Police as one of the top eight forces in the country.

In April 2009 the force was cited as the poorest performing force for completing Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) checks. The Home Office requirement is for 95% of requests to be completed within 14 days; Humberside Police completed just 15%. As such checks are often a condition of employment, this failure caused delays for those waiting to start work.[80]

Graham Stuart,MP forBeverley and Holderness,said he was disgusted with this failure. He said, "The delay in processing them stops people taking up work and has a crippling impact on voluntary groups who have to get their volunteers approved. The Humberside Police are seriously lagging behind virtually every other constabulary in the country and local people are being let down."[81]

In October 2015, it was revealed that officer morale in the force was the lowest in the country, with 84.5% of officers saying that their morale was currently low, compared to 70.2% nationally.[82]

On 19 October 2015, in a report published by HMIC, Humberside Police was the only force in the country classed as inadequate. The report suggested that the force had a "limited understanding" of demand for its services, and raised "serious concerns" over the way it was organised. HM Inspector of Constabulary Mike Cunningham said: "Humberside Police has a limited understanding of the current and future demand for its services and, as it is unable to fully match resources to demand in some important areas, this affects its ability to provide a good service to the public." Chief ConstableJustine Curransaid the force had "moved on" since then.[83]

Similarly, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) released its annual statistics of police complaints from forces throughout the country: Humberside Police performed better than average in many areas; e.g. the number of complaints had decreased by 4% compared to an increase of 6% nationally. But the number of appeals by dissatisfied complainants had increased by 24%: three times the national average.[84]

In November 2015, it was revealed that thousands of telephone calls to the101 servicewere being abandoned; the problem had reached its peak in June 2015 when over 11,000 calls were abandoned.[85]

On 19 November 2015 theEast Riding of Yorkshire Councilagreed to reconvene a panel to review the force after October's HMIC inspection. The panel ended up criticising both police and crime commissionerMatthew Groveandchief constableJustine Curranfor refusing to attend one of its meetings. This had led the council to write a critical letter to the parliamentary committee for standards in public life, highlighting concerns over a lack of proper consultation over the reorganisation[what reorganisation?].Speaking at the full council meeting, Cllr. Owen said the panel's concerns had been vindicated by the HMIC report. He said "all public sector bodies are facing huge financial pressures and I fully appreciate the pressures we all face, and Humberside Police are no different, recovering from a number of years of having to improve performance in a climate of low funding and other pressures.[86]

In June 2018, 12 months after Curran's departure, Humberside Police were formally disengaged[clarification needed]by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and assessed as sufficiently improved and stable to be removed from what were in effect "special measures"

In August 2018, in the annual Police Federation Pay and Morale Survey, Humberside were officially recorded as the most improved police force in the country in terms of police officers' reported levels of personal morale. The survey placed the force 3rd out of 43 forces across England and Wales; the previous year the results were reported locally as Humberside having the lowest morale in the country.

PEEL inspection[edit]

His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services(HMICFRS) conducts a periodic police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy (PEEL) inspection of each police service's performance. In November 2022, the force was awarded six outstanding and two good grades in its PEEL inspection, the best in the UK at that time.[87] It was rated as follows:[88]

Outstanding Good Adequate Requires Improvement Inadequate
2021/22 rating
  • Preventing crime
  • Treatment of the public
  • Protecting vulnerable people
  • Managing offenders
  • Developing a positive workplace
  • Good use of resources
  • Investigating crime
  • Responding to the public
  • Recording data about crime
