Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs)

Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) visit Cheshire Police’s three custody suites and review how they treat those who are detained.

ICV recommendations can require the police to make improvements for the welfare of detainees. Therefore, they play a valuable role in maintaining public confidence in this important area of policing.

ICVs are members of the local community who volunteer to check on the welfare of people detained in police custody. They are completely independent.
