Baseline Assessment (Revised) of Norfolk Constabulary, October 2004
On 14 June 2004, HMIC published baseline assessment reports for all 43 English andWelsh Forces, offering a high level diagnostic statement of each Force�s relativestrengths and weaknesses. The baseline provides a point against which progress canbe measured and an early warning of performance deterioration. It is designed as aself-assessment process, with the degree of validation/reality checking undertaken byHMIC increasingly dependent on a Force�s performance and the rigour of its internalassessment. In other words, better performers with good internal inspection regimeswill see less of HMIC. It is important to recognise that baseline assessment is not aninspection; rather it helps HMIC focus its inspection effort where it is most needed. Aformal inspection may still be necessary where there is evidence of systemic underperformanceand poor leadership, within the context of the Police Reform Act 2002.
