The study was undertaken using 16 depth interviews with Project Servator co-ordinators for all the police forces that had undertaken Project Servator deployments between 2013 and 2018, and a series of informal discussions with the National Project Servator Team (NPST), which oversees Project Servator activities, based within the City of London Police (CoLP). The interviews were conducted in January and February 2019. The remit of the evaluation of Project Servator pertains to both the deployments and the supporting communications. The study was jointly funded by Cranfield University and the UK Government’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) and conducted by Professor Paul Baines at the University of Leicester (see Appendix 1 for a biography of the author).

Fifteen UK police forces and one British Overseas Territory police force implemented ‘Project Servator’ (Servator is Latin for ‘watcher/observer’) between 2014 and 2018 including the City of London Police (CoLP), British Transport Police (BTP), Police Scotland, Merseyside Police, Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP), Bedfordshire Police, Ministry of Defence Police (MDP), Greater Manchester Police (GMP), North Yorkshire Police (NYP), Sussex Police, The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC), Avon & Somerset Police, Essex Police, the Metropolitan Police, West Midlands Police (WMP) and West Yorkshire Police (WYP). Project Servator operations are ongoing and a number of new forces are trialling Project Servator in 2019. For a detailed timeline of how Project Servator has developed since it was first set up in 2012, see Appendix 2. Project Servator uses a range of policing tactics to promoted using media press releases, articles in reassure the public, encourage suspicious activity and traditional, electronic (e.g. websites), and social unattended item reporting, and otherwise disrupt media (Twitter and Facebook), digital and physical criminal/terrorist activity. It involves the use of highly posters in A-frames and shop windows, handbills visible but unpredictable deployments of specially trained (distributed by police officers), and internal officers and other police assets and incorporates the advertising techniques (e.g. intranet articles on following components: police websites). Safer Neighbourhood Teams and Community Liaison Officers are also briefed as are i. a mixed deployment of both specially trained the business community, including the security uniformed and plain clothes officers, the former industry and property owners.

  • Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) DATA SHEET
    Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) DATA SHEET There is probably no other State in the world that has undergone a similar process of profound and intense transformation in its conceptions, structures, practices and policing model as has Northern Ireland since the second half of the nineties. One of the most important figures that resulted from this reform is that of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI), undoubtedly the most modern and powerful police external oversight mechanism in the world and a mandatory reference for any scholar or specialist interested in police accountability. Here is a data sheet with the most important aspects of this mechanism. Corporate Governance . The Police Ombudsman is appointed by Her Majesty, as a named person for a fixed term of seven years. His Office has 150 staff and an annual operating budget of around 9 million pounds . The Office of the Police Ombudsman is situated in Belfast and provides a continuous service 24 hours a day to the people and police of Northern Ireland. The Police Ombudsman is accountable to the Northern Ireland Assembly, through the Minister for Justice. The status of the Office of the Police Ombudsman is that of a non-departmental public body (NDPB) administrated through the Department of Justice. The Office does not carry out its functions on behalf of the Crown. The Police Ombudsman also investigates complaints against the Belfast Harbour Police, Larne Harbour Police, the Belfast International Airport Police and Ministry of Defence Police in Northern Ireland and the Serious Organised Crime Agency when its staff operates in this jurisdiction.
