Police chiefs have issued an official apology for failures that led to the death of 97 people in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing issued a joint response on Tuesday to a report published in 2017.
An inquest jury ruled in 2016 that the supporters who died as a result of a crush at a match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989 were unlawfully killed amid a number of police errors.
The 2017 paper, commissioned by former Prime Minister Theresa May when she was Home Secretary and published by former Liverpool Bishop James Jones, made 25 recommendations — with 11 of them directly concerning policing.
Police chiefs promised “cultural change” and admitted “policing got it badly wrong”.

Chief Constable Andy Marsh, the College of Policing’s chief executive officer, said: “For what happened, as a senior policing leader, I profoundly apologise. Policing got it badly wrong.
“What we’re talking about is cultural change and cultural change takes a long time, but my goodness we have started.”
Marsh said new recruits would study the report into the experiences of the Hillsborough families.
