Recommendation 37

37 Paragraph: 82

Formally consider introducing a professional duty of candour to increase police transparency.

Recommendation
We recommend that the NPCC, College of Policing, Home Office and Association of Police and Crime Commissioners formally consider whether a professional “duty of candour” might drive greater transparency in policing. We consider that, while this would not be enough on its own to drive the culture change needed, it would help set the direction of travel towards a presumption of openness.
