The Good Police Custody Study early findings

'The GPCS: Early findings', National Custody Seminar, Police Federation of England and Wales, Sergeants' Central Committee, Stoke -on-trent, 23-24 September 2014


Tomorrow myself and Layla Skinns will be presenting some early findings from our research. Please treat them with caution, as they remain preliminary at this stage of the research; we still have a long way to go before we finish collecting and analysing the data from the study. We, nonetheless, welcome constructive feedback and comments: @policecustody. 

Without giving too much away we shall be focusing on describing the different types of custody suites we have identified, as well as the conditions of detention and the use of discretion in these different settings.  We hope that these initial findings will help provide some interesting discussion and thoughts moving forward.
