The number of complaints against Wiltshire police force has fallen.

The recorded number of complaints against officers in the county fell last year to 228 from the previous year's number of 274.

One area which the police force has received particular praise for is in the deaths in police pursuits, which has risen nationally but fallen to zero in Wiltshire for the period.

Since April 1, there has been a rise in complaints about racial discrimination, with seven reported, but this is thought to be due to a rising public awareness of the problem.
