Federation response to Neyroud Review on Police leadership and training
Responding to the publication today of Peter Neyroud’s Review of Police Leadership & Training, Simon Reed, Vice Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, says:
“If implemented, this report stands to have a huge impact on police officers and the structure of policing in England and Wales, so it must not be viewed in isolation. Within the space of a few weeks police officers have been confronted with the Winsor Review of pay and conditions, Hutton’s report on pensions and now this. If ever there was an urgent need for considered and structured reform through an open and public Royal Commission on Policing, it is now.
“The Federation’s national committee will seek the views of local Federation branch boards and the membership so that we engage fully in the consultation process. For police officers to have confidence in any changes to the structure of the service the consultation process must be conducted in an open and transparent manner.”
Also in the news is a further reply from Sir Hugh Orde in relation to a letter sent by Paul McKeever Chair of the Police Federation for England & Wales. You can read the full letter here
However we have picked out one line from it which serves to support the belief from rank & file that ACPO has lost touch not only with its Officers & Staff but the Public it was formed to serve.
“Chief Constables also acknowledge that the Government has made abundantly clear its intention to address the fiscal deficit and the requirement for policing to play its part in doing so”
