CC Mark Polin, Chief Constable of North Wales Police had asked CC Keith Bristow, Director General of the National Crime Agency (NCA), to undertake a review of North Wales abuse enquiry from the 1970s and 1980s. 5.2 Mr Murphy advised that CC Keith Bristow had requested specialist resources from him to assist in carrying out the review in his capacity as Head of Crime Business Area and Chief Constable of Merseyside Police. 5.3 The President pointed out that this was the first investigation to be conducted by a national agency as opposed to force Chief Constable. 5.4 The President confirmed the success of the recent ACPO Autumn Conference, which took place on 23-25 October 2012. 5.5 An update was provided on the future of ACPO. Ms Thornton undertook to send the Home Secretary a formal proposal for a statutory Chief Constables’ Council. Action: Ms Thornton 5.6 The President congratulated Mr Marshall on his appointment as Chief Executive of the College of Policing; however, the position of Chair was yet to be announced. A protocol between Chief Constables’ Council and the College would be developed. 5.7 The Police and Crime Commissioners’ (PCC) Elections would be taking place in 8 days time. The ACPO PCC Transition Board would have a 24-hour ‘Helpdesk’ on Election Day and ACC Gary Cann had issued guidance on the election process. 5.8 A PCC briefing event was being arranged on 3 December to discuss Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime. CC Murphy, CC Creedon and AC Cressida Dick would be delivering briefings. Minutes of the ACPO Cabinet meeting held on 7 November 2012 Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland Version 1/2013 3 5.9 A number of PCC related events were anticipated, some of which were being privately organised. The decision to take part in such events fell to individual chief constables, with reference to principles contained in the ‘Guiding Principles: ACPO Engagements in Events and Conferences’. 5.10 Members noted the update. Items for decision 6. ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF A UK OPT-OUT OF EU THIRD PILLAR CRIMINAL LAW AND POLICING MEASURES UNDER THE LISBON TREATY 6.1 The President introduced a paper on behalf of Mr Barker-McCardle who had been asked at the June meeting to consult across business areas and produce a more detailed assessment of the impact of the UK opting out of the Pre-Lisbon Treaty Police and Crime Measures. 6.2 The President invited Mr Duffin to elaborate on the paper which sought to determine which of the third pillar measures (TPMs) UK law enforcement should seek to opt back into. 6.3 Members were invited to: i. Consider the impact assessment ii. Agree to recommend that 55 separate TPMs were opted back into in the same terms that were currently held iii. Agree to recommend that 7 TPMs should not be opted back into iv. Agree to recommend that the European Arrest Warrants (EAW) be opted back into under the same arrangements that were currently in place. 6.4 Mr Duffin added that the government needed to be informed of EU decisions by May 2014 and that if the recommendations contained in the paper were endorsed, then more consultations were anticipated. 6.5 Members broadly agreed with the proposed recommendations; however, the following points were raised in the discussion which followed: • Resources were required to deal with anticipated consultations and ACPO needed to engage with Home Office officials in order to progress this further • It would be helpful to gather more factual data and qualitative cases • There was a need to ensure an evidence based approach, which should be impact assessed and where relevant supported by academic study • There was a need to examine the CT issues in more detail • The numbers indicated at paragraph 5.1 of the paper required emendation. 6.6 The President undertook to liaise with Mr Barker-McCardle after the meeting and a further paper would be presented at Chief Constables’ Council. Action: President/Mr Barker-McCardle 6.7 The recommendations contained in paragraph 8.1 of the paper and at 6.3 above were agreed, subject to the comments raised. Minutes of the ACPO Cabinet meeting held on 7 November 2012 Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland Version 1/2013 4 7. MISSING PERSON DEFINITION 7.1 Mr Murphy introduced a paper which requested Members to support a change in the ACPO definition for a ‘missing’ person, from ‘anyone whose whereabouts is unknown whatever the circumstances of disappearance. They will be considered missing until located and their well- being otherwise established’ to ‘anyone whose whereabouts cannot be established and where the circumstances are out of character or the context suggests the person may be subject of crime or at risk of harm to themselves or another’. 7.2 Mr Geenty, ACPO lead for Missing Persons, added that there were 330,000 missing persons cases reported each year, which were currently not being risk assessed. The proposed change in definition would reduce risks and allow the Missing Persons Coordinator to analyse records and work effectively with care homes in order to target the most vulnerable. Mr Geenty also confirmed that he would work closely with stakeholders, the NPIA and ACPO Press Office on the issue. 7.3 It was added that in using the new definition, there should be a proportionate response to risks and a consistent working approach with local authorities. 7.4 Members supported the change in the current definition, and requested that this should go to the Chief Constables’ Council. Action: Mr Marshall/Mr Geenty 8. COMPREHENSIVE SPENDING REVIEW 2013 – SEE SEPARATE RESTRICTED AND NON-FOI DISCLOSABLE MINUTES ATTACHED 9.

  • Warwickshire Police and Crime Panel - Item 6
    Warwickshire Police and Crime Panel - Item 6 REPORT OF THE POLICE AND CRIME COMISSIONER APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF CONSTABLE Background 1. The respective roles of the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Police and Crime Panel. The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (the Act) sets out the respective responsibilities of the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Police and Crime Panel. It is the responsibility of the Commissioner to appoint the Chief Constable. The Panel’s role is to consider the recommendation made by the Commissioner and that the preferred individual meets the requirements of the role. 2. Current Temporary Chief Constable Arrangements In December 2011, the then Chief Constable of Warwickshire, Mr Keith Bristow was seconded to the Home Office in order to take up the role of Deputy General of the National Crime Agency once it was formally established. That secondment has been extended to 1st December 2013 with the current expectation that Mr.Bristow will have taken up his new role in the Autumn of 2013. The then Police Authority unanimously resolved on 19th October 2011 to appoint Mr. Andy Parker as Chief Constable on a temporary basis under a fixed term contract from 1st December 2011 until, in the first instance, 13th July 2013. At the time of this appointment there was a Home Office moratorium on Police Authorities making permanent Chief Constable appointments in the run up to the Police and Crime Commissioner elections in November 2012 Police Authorities were advised therefore to instead consider making a temporary appointment. Mr. Parker’s current position is therefore that he is a Deputy Chief Constable exercising or performing the functions of the Chief Constable in accordance with Section 41(1)(a) of the Act.

  • Warwickshire and West Mercia Strategic Alliance
    Warwickshire and West Mercia Strategic Alliance An independent review by the Police Foundation Final report – September 2014 Taking stock: progress to date Celebrate success 1. The achievements of the Strategic Alliance (SA) to date are significant and should be trumpeted as a model that others could follow, albeit with an acknowledgement that the process of forging the Alliance was not perfect and lessons have had to be learned. In particular, the SA has provided the citizens and communities of Warwickshire and West Mercia with greater protection from harm and more visible policing, alongside evidence that value for money is being secured. Many of those interviewed paid testament to the influence of Keith Bristow, whose foresight and vision have left an indelible legacy not just on Warwickshire Police but in laying the foundations for the success of the Alliance. 2. It was a brave move to go down this path and the implementation of the original blueprint has been swift and effective. Other forces look with envy at the harmonisation of terms and conditions, an issue that has blighted many other collaborative ventures 1 The People Movement Plan deserves particular mention, as it was a large-scale redistribution of human assets that could have failed spectacularly but in fact worked well, as all staff association representatives concurred. In terms of operational policing, the Alliance can now more effectively ‘surge’ resources to deal with unexpected demand, 24-hour cover is available across more policing functions, more officers and PCSOs are based in Safer Neighbourhood Teams than in pre- Alliance days and a wider pool of expertise and experience can be tapped to respond effectively to policing challenges.

In 1962, the Royal Commission on the Police formally acknowledged HMIC’s contribution to policing. HMIs are appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and report to HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, who is the Home Secretary’s principal professional policing adviser and is independent of both the Home Office and the police service. HMIC’s principal statutory duties are set out in the Police Act 1996. For more information, please visit HMIC’s website at http://inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/. In 2006, HMIC conducted a broad assessment of all 43 Home Office police forces in England and Wales, examining 23 areas of activity. This baseline assessment had followed a similar process in 2005, and thus created a rich evidence base of strengths and weaknesses across the country.
