Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs)
This important role helps the PCC check on the welfare of people in custody.
ICVs visit Cleveland Police’s custody suites unannounced to check on the welfare and treatment of people detained there.
They check on the conditions in which detainees are being held and that their rights and entitlements are being observed.
Volunteers make a minimum of six visits per year. Visiting in pairs, IVCs talk to detainees and submit reports about their visits.
All applications to join the ICV scheme are considered on their own merits. The OPCC is looking for applications from all sectors of the community. It assesses individual circumstances against the needs of the post and suitability of the applicant.
Prior to starting in role, suitable applicants will be invited to attend an interview.
