THE POLICE REFORM PROGRAMME “As the police service looks to meet the challenges in the current economic climate and achieve savings from the CSR, the private sector cannot be ignored.” that within the private sector. Delivery is assessed against a detailed suite of agreed performance indicators. Transformation has already commenced with the introduction of new services such as a G4S prisoner escort service (Street to Suite) that enables officers to remain on patrol or to secure and preserve evidence at a scene while persons arrested are transported to police custody suites by the partner’s personnel. The partner and authority are also focusing on the schedule of projects included in the contract that will assist in future-proofing the force. Examples include numerous ICT initiatives and the option to build a new police station and custody facility providing fit for purpose facilities for the term of the contract and beyond. Such investment and improved infrastructure would simply not have been possible without the engagement of a strategic partner. Transferred learning On 1 April 2012 some 600 police staff were successfully transferred to the partner and the focus is now on maintaining and improving services, while also jointly exploring opportunities for other forces to receive services from the agreement. Should other forces decide to join the contract through the framework mechanisms in place then G4S will be in a position to consider further capital investment in estate, and the force will be in a position to realise further savings through economies of scale. An unforeseen bonus for the force has been transferred learning from the private sector. For example, the procurement process exposed Lincolnshire Police to the G4S ‘Red Review’ system used to ruthlessly drive down costs to prepare competitive bids. The same techniques are now used by the force to maximise the productivity and minimise cost in areas of business it has retained. As a result of the strategic partnership Lincolnshire Police has secured guaranteed savings of £28 million smoothed over the 10-year contract and the potential to save considerably more through a series of predefined projects and the shrewd handling of budgets monitored and managed on behalf of the force. What is clear is that as the police service looks to meet the challenges in the current economic climate and achieve savings from the CSR, the private sector cannot be ignored and for those forces that choose to have services delivered from such companies it is essential that they are intelligent clients, securing flexible future-proof contracts, that improve the services provided to the public as a whole. After all, the delivery of policing services to the community is the core business. The application of an expedited procurement process in the policing sector has led to the development of very specific expertise within the force at all levels. Senior staff now coach and mentor teams from other forces. Delivering savings It’s important to understand too what the contract is not about. The partner runs the central heating and computer systems – it doesn’t run policing. The partner serves meals and takes fingerprints in custody cells. Inspectors and sergeants will always run the custody. The partner receives calls and passes radio messages to officers, under police officer supervision. The partner provides a shuttle service between custody suites, there is no patrol role. There will never be a patrol role. Lincolnshire Police is firmly committed to warranted officers and PCSOs being the face of policing in the county. What the contract has delivered is £3m worth of savings already this year, which has enabled the force to limit the cuts it would otherwise have had to make to the front line of the force. 36 | POLICING UK
