Who We Are

The Learning the Lessons Committee is a multi-agency committee that has been established to disseminate and promote learning across the police service. Its members, who all have a role to play in enhancing the service provided by the police, are:

• Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) – leads and coordinates the direction and development of the police service
• Association of Police Authorities (APA) – police authorities are responsible for ensuring the local police force is efficient and effective
• Home Office – overall responsibility for the police service
• Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) –  recommends improvements to police policy and practice in the light of issues arising from the police complaints/conduct system
• HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) – responsible for inspecting and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the police service
• National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) – supports the police service by providing expertise, training and support in developing policy.
  
  

The Committee is chaired by Nick Hardwick, Chair of the IPCC, and meets three times a year.
