Custody Visitors are ordinary members of the local community appointed to make sure that the welfare of people detained in police stations is maintained. They call at police stations unannounced and write short reports about their visit. Their recommendations can require the police to make improvements for the welfare of detainees. They play a valuable role in maintaining public confidence in this important area of policing. They work as part of a local Panel and help the MPA, which oversees custody visiting in London, to make sure that detainees are treated well.
