Introduction
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (HMIC)
Her Majesty's Inspectors of Constabulary (HMIs) have been charged with examining and improving the efficiency of the Police Service in England and Wales, (and latterly Northern Ireland), with the first HMIs appointed under the provisions of the County and Borough Police Act 1856.
Her Majesty's Inspectors of Constabulary are appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and report to Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary (HMCIC), who is the Home Secretary's principal professional policing adviser. The HMCIC is independent both of the Home Office and of the Police Service.
