HMIC Inspection of Resource Leverage: MPS
In 2007, the Deputy Commissioner for the MPS invited HMIC to conduct an inspection of resource leverage. The MPS volunteered to work with both HMIC and Audit Commission with the aim of delivering added value to the MPS and other police services from more effective joint-working between the inspection and audit services.
Resource Leverage can be described as the way in which organisations maximise their resource capacity and productivity. This is achieved not simply by cutting services or staff but using a full range of approaches including: - accumulating, conserving and concentrating resources, their management and recovery and the development of business learning and skills.
The inspection was conducted between April and June 2008 and built upon previous reviews of the MPS/MPA strategic resource management, in particular HMIC’s review of Finance and Resources and the three Audit Commission’s Police Use of Resources (PURE) assessments for the period 2004/05 – 2006/07. It will also inform the HMIC approach to resource leverage in other Forces and the development of the joint inspection and assessment processes due to take effect in 2009.
A self-assessment was prepared by the MPS and the information submitted to either HMIC or the Audit Commission has been shared in order to conduct both assessments effectively.
