It is encouraging to note that there was a 3.9% increase in detection, achieved in a year in which 19 murders were committed; an investigation commitment which always added strain upon constrained resources, particularly in the area of manpower and mobility. In consequence, there was an urgent and con­ tinuing need to survey and redeploy those resources available to meet contingent problems. This was my first year in office as Chief Constable, following upon a year as Deputy Chief Constable and newcomer to Merseyside, a year, which might be related to one of valuable orientation for me in a Force which was seeking an identity following upon amalgamation. Therefore, it was convenient from every viewpoint, to research the constitution and structure of the force in the light of recent operational experiences and the amalgam of police experience of yesteryear. This I continue to do with various projects I will refer to below. In the event I am confident in reporting that all ranks of the Mersey­ side Police strive with continuous success, to establish that identity which makes it a police force for the wrong-doer to respect and reckon with, and for the people of Merseyside to be proud of. r have referred to the fact that I am a relative newcomer to Merseyside so I feel that this introduction would be incomplete if I did not refer to the unswerving assistance and loyalty I received continuously from ~fr. R. S. Lancaster, Q.P.M., Assistant Chief Constable (Administration) but latterly as Acting Deputy Chief Constable; but perhaps more importantly the friendship and help by his wife, Mrs. Joyce Lancaster, which reflected an extension of her concern for the welfare of the families of the Service over the years, a contribution freely given by most police officers' wives, too often accepted as the expected and rarely recognised in official records such as this. 1\'11' Lancaster has retired after a long and distinguished police career marked by considerable contribution to the reputation and effi.ciency of the Service and to the wellbeing of the community. He is to be com­ mended for his ready application to overcome the transitional problems surrounding the upheavals in the command structure in a relatively newly amalgamated force; his acceptance of additional responsibilities and attendant problems during the absence of the newly appointed Deputy Chief Constable, IVTr. D. Owen, who transferred from Lincolnshire, but was attending the Imperial Defence Collp- for the greater part of the year under review. ~, Manpower One of my first priorities on being appointed and assuming command of this Force was to prepare a report for the consideration of the Com- 7 mittee outlining the inadequacies of the establishment and to submit proposals for increases "which were thought to be attainable. It will be recalled that in 1974 research was t,\.J.en undertaken to determine the ideal establishment for the force, based on an approved formulae, which pro­ jected a total figure of 5,600. However, at the time of amalgamation the establishment was calculated by taking the combined strength of the three constituent forces and adding to it a figure of 200, which represented the then forseeable recruitment. This criteria resulted in an establishment of 4,317, but tltis was increased in JllIay 1975 by 25 officers, to bring the establishment to its current figure of 4,342. Nearly three years of experi­ ence since amalgamation showed the strain of such a threadbare establish­ ment and produced .many shortcomings in effective policing considered necessary in such a metropolitan conurbation as JllIerseyside and demanded the reappraisal I have referred to earlier, to redress the inherited im­ balances and misconceptions imposed upon amalgamation. In the event, my proposition, although approved by the Police Committee, was baulked for a variety of reasons, rehearsed in a variety of County Council com­ mittees, but whatever the perversity the most constraining was one of economics. In consequence, I have had meaningful discussions within the County Executive, also with Home Office representabives and H.M. Inspectorate, particularly in the light of various government circulars which relate to national economic stringencies. Therefore it is hoped that a redefined establishment increase will be acceptable and

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).

  • The Hard Yards
    PEEL spotlight report The Hard Yards Police-to-police collaboration Contents Foreword 1 About this report 3 Summary of findings 5 Are current police collaboration agreements fit for today’s policing? 8 Recommendations 10 Themes 12 Purpose 12 Benefits and cost analysis 15 Leadership and governance 17 Skills and capabilities 19 Conclusion 21 Annex A: The scale of police-to-police collaborations 22 i Foreword Nationally, forces are spending over a quarter of a billion pounds on collaborations every year. It is in police forces’ interests to collaborate with other forces and other organisations, both on a local and a national scale. Collaboration done well can save money, reduce bureaucracy, and improve efficiency and effectiveness. Collaborations allow forces to club together to provide specialist services that they couldn’t provide individually, and they help forces to learn from best practice. Ultimately, collaborations can improve the service that forces give to the public. But too many police collaborations are failing, or not giving the results they should, costing forces money, time and effort. For this report, we assessed six police collaborations, investigating the process from agreement onwards. These case studies varied in scope and scale from highly ambitious strategic collaborations, such as the Seven Force Strategic Alliance (7F) and the All Wales collaboration, to more focused and specific projects, such as the North West Underwater Marine Unit. We examined what they did well, and what didn’t go so well. We considered why some collaborations succeeded and why some failed. Too many forces weren’t well informed about collaboration best practice: there wasn’t enough information available nationally about police collaboration; and some forces didn’t use the lessons they learned on one collaboration to improve others they were involved with.

For any force where Section 12 is relevant we are happy for you to issue a refusal notice and provide an explanation as to why cost is relevant.

With regard to requests asking for ALL RIPA APPLICATIONS, if it relates to several years of information, we can see no harm in stating how many RIPA applications you would have to search through in that time period for excess costs to apply.

  • A Vision for North Shore
    View from Lee - north to south Published September 2020 3 North Shore Vision I am pleased to introduce this North Shore Vision for the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site. Foreword Liverpool is a city that is undergoing a multi-billion pound renaissance and we are constantly seeking the right balance where regeneration and conservation can complement each other. We are proud of our unique heritage and have a desire to ensure that the city continues to thrive, with its historic legacy safeguarded and enhanced. On 17 July 2019, Liverpool City Council declared a Climate Change Emergency and I led a debate on the impending global ecological disaster, calling on all political parties to come together to rise to the challenge of making Liverpool a net zero carbon city by 2030. The way we do things in the future will need to change to a more sustainable model. To achieve this, the city has embraced the principles of the United Nations Development and this document sets out our ambitions for future growth and development for the North Shore area of the city firmly within this context. We have already begun work with partners to deliver that ambition. Existing and highly successful examples include the iconic Titanic Hotel redevelopment, restoration of the Tobacco Warehouse and the proposed refurbishment of the listed Engine House at Bramley Moore Dock which reinvigorate dilapidated heritage assets on the North Docks, providing access and interpretation to a new generation of people in the City. Liverpool has a well-earned reputation for being a city of firsts.

  • The Everton FC Collection
    www.cultureliverpool.co.uk/the-everton-fc-collection/ The Everton FC Collection The Everton FC Collection is presented by Jan Grace from Liverpool Record Office and forms part of the Liverpool Through the Archives series, produced for the Connecting Our Communities project… The Everton Collection is the largest and most diverse collection of any football club in the UK. It covers the history of football on Merseyside, including when Everton and Liverpool were originally one team known only as Everton, and they played their football at Anfield. The reason why the Everton Collection exists is fundamentally because of one man, David France, and his steadfast devotion to Everton Football Club. This led him from buying a programme as an 8-year-old to prove to his Mum that he had attended the match, to progressing to systematically buying an astounding amount of EFC material that evidences both the social and footballing history of the first football club of Liverpool. In 2010, The Everton Collection Charitable Trust, with support from The Heritage Lottery Fund, purchased David France’s collection for a seven-figure sum and when, at the same time, Everton FC gifted its own archive, The Everton Collection was formed. The Collection is located at Liverpool Record Office at Liverpool Central Library where it is preserved and conserved in purpose-built archive accommodation meeting the highest standards for long-term preservation and under the care of professional archivists. The Everton Collection Charitable Trust was set up, with Lord Grantchester as Chair, to ensure the integrity of the Collection in future years, to prevent it from being split up and sold.
