Sheehy Inquiry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sheehy Inquiry, officially, the Inquiry into Police Responsibilities and Rewards, was commissioned in 1992 by the United Kingdom's then Home Secretary, Kenneth Clarke (before being published in 1993), to "examine the rank structure, remuneration, and conditions of service of the police service of England and Wales, in Scotland and in Northern Ireland," and to present recommendations if found necessary.[1] The inquiry committee was chaired by Sir Patrick Sheehy, with members John Bullock, Professors Eric Caines and Colin Campbell, and Sir Paul Fox among the committee. The committee released its report, commonly known as the Sheehy Report, in 1993, with recommendations for significant restructuring of ranks and remuneration, detailed in seven sections in over 200 pages.
This article is missing information about a summary of the rest of the inquiry, and the reaction and possible changes related to it. The current summary may prove to be confusing, and may be uncited, and should possibly be cleared up itself. (July 2018) |
