THE POLICE REFORM PROGRAMME “If you are employing individuals who do not have the warranted powers of the Office of Constable, then you are losing accountability and the independence of the service.” chief officer and the police and crime commissioner will be good, grown up and adult, by the very nature of human dynamics, there are going to be some that don’t hit it off. And there are going to be some problems. here does the olice ederation of ngland and ales stand on parts of policing being priatised? We don’t have an ideological position where we are against privatisation of everything. We do, however, fear privatisation is going to go too far. Why is this so important If you are employing individuals who do not have the warranted powers of the Office of Constable, then you are losing accountability and the independence of the service. From an operational standpoint, you lose flexibility and resilience. We are also accountable to the public we serve and not to boards of directors or shareholders. And we don’t have to make a profit margin on those shares. All the money that comes into the police service goes on protecting the public. If the government is open to private companies taking on more policing roles, then this is the ideal opportunity to do it. These companies are not doing anything wrong they are doing absolutely the right thing for their shareholders. But we as police officers have a duty first and foremost to the public we serve. By cutting the police budget so far, the government has created a reason for police chiefs to have to look for alternatives such as privatisation. hat roles and parts of police wor should neer be priatised? Any role that takes away the resilience and flexibility of the service to a degree that public safety is put at risk. The ability to respond to major incidents may well go. I have real concerns about that. I don’t want to see riots and major disturbances in this country. Nobody wants to see more disorder similar to August 2011, but I think there is an inevitability about it. ow do ou see the police serice looing in ears time? I don’t think you can honestly predict that. There is so much flux at the moment, there are going to be so many changes that nobody can say definitively what it is going to be like in 10 years. And this worries me and just about every other police officer I speak to. Of every rank.
