  • An Update from the Association of Chief Police Officers
    An update from the Association Of Chief Police Officers January 2012 A word from ACPO President, Sir Hugh Orde There is no denying that 2011 was an extremely challenging year, and this year is shaping up to be no less challenging. There is a significant degree of ambiguity surrounding the future landscape of the service. Change is most certainly afoot and we must manage that change and make it work. It is the unenviable task of chief constables of balancing budgets, implementing reform, preparing for the future and for the unforeseen. I am therefore pleased to note both the Prime Minister and the Policing Minister’s praise for the steps we have taken to deliver efficiencies whilst mitigating the effect on front- line officers and at the same time still delivering a reduction in crime levels. We will continue to protect the public to the best of our ability with whatever resources at our disposal. For that is our job. Let us be under no illusions - there will be no let up in the pace of change over this coming year. The first Police and Crime Commissioners will be taking up their posts come the autumn; and we are already seeing the first candidates declare their intentions – with varying degrees of plausibility. The NPIA and its functions must be found new and appropriate homes by the end of the year. We must also now seriously consider what shape a professional body may take following the official announcement of its impending creation. There are both opportunities and potential pitfalls ahead and we, as the voice of the service, must ensure we steady the ship during these turbulent times.
