Please Note:

All members of Constabulary staff are required to declare any offer or acceptance of a gift and this is closely monitored by the Professional Standards Department.

Many gifts offered to our officers are often from the community they serve as a token of appreciation for their hard work. For instance, a long- serving officer who had worked in a community for many years was offered and accepted gift vouchers from the parish councils on his retirement. Another example might be a victim of a burglary who is extremely grateful for officers’ work and is very insistent that those officers accept some small token, such as a box of chocolates.

Most offers of a gift are politely refused unless it is considered that a refusal would cause offence; if it is felt that a refusal of the gift would cause offence then the gift is accepted and the officer would report their acceptance to Professional Standards department via their Area Commander, which is then recorded on a register.

Other gifts, which are of a higher value, are referred to Chief Officers for consideration on a case-by-case basis. The Chief Officer will decide whether the gift should be retained or returned; in many instances the gift is forwarded to a local charity or other deserving cause, and are often donated as raffle prizes.
