Sheehy Inquiry

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, 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. The inquiry committee was chaired by Sir Patrick Sheehy. The committee released its report, commonly known as the Sheehy Report, in 1993, with recommendations for significant restructuring of ranks and remuneration. The report was widely condemned by the police in the UK, and most of its recommendations were rejected by the subsequent Home Secretary, Michael Howard.
