Rising number of complaints against Leicestershire Police according to IPCC report
Official complaints against Leicestershire Police have risen considerably
Between April 2014 and March this year, 846 complaints were made against officers
and staff – a 25 per cent increase on the previous year's total.
The rise in Leicestershire was greater than the average of six per cent for forces in England and Wales, according to figures released by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
Most were dealt with locally by the force. About a quarter, 90, of those complaints were upheld.
Leicestershire Police said the increase was at least in part down to its efforts to simplify the process of registering a criticism.
The majority of those complaints made against the force were under the category of "neglect or failure in duty". They rose from 360 in 2013-14 to 604 in 2014-15.
The other biggest sources of dissatisfaction were "incivility, impoliteness and intolerance" and "oppressive conduct or harassment".

thought of the police.
