Annual Reports
The JPCA has a statutory duty under the Police (Complaints and Discipline) (Jersey) Law 1999, to report annually to the Minister for Home Affairs and present data on complaints recorded about the States of Jersey Police and the Jersey Honorary Police. The reports published for the last three years can be accessed using the links on this page.
Snapshot from 2023 Annual Report:
“The JPCA remains committed to continuing in its role of supervising and monitoring complaint investigations in an impartial, independent, thorough and dispassionate manner. The JPCA considers that the current law and complaints system has served Jersey well over the past twenty years and has enabled the JPCA to provide accessible, independent oversight of complaint investigations in an efficient and extremely cost-effective way.
Learning outcomes arising from complaints that are taken up by the SOJP ‘Learning the Lessons Forum’ provide an important emphasis to a culture which is more open, reflective of mistakes and with a greater emphasis on learning, development and improvement whilst maintaining and ensuring accountability.
It is equally important to note of the many thousands of incidents and 999 calls for help or assistance, the data in this report represents a small proportion of the many daily interactions between police officers and the Jersey public.”
