The Case Against ACPO - A Critical Look At The Association Of Chief Police Officers
might be a chance of some fair play being dished out when the reform proposals are presented.
As a result of our article on the Oracle Forum there are some serious irregularities that raise considerable cause for concern about the structure and membership of the PNB.
The Police Negotiating Board
According to the PNB website "The Police Negotiating Board (PNB) was established by Act of Parliament in 1980 to negotiate the hours of duty; leave; pay and allowances; the issue, use and return of police clothing, personal equipment and accoutrements; and pensions of United Kingdom police officers, and to make recommendations on these matters to the Home Secretary, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and Scottish Ministers. It is governed by a Constitution ".
Section 61 of the Police Act 1996 states: The Police Negotiating Board for the United Kingdom
(1) There shall continue to be a Police Negotiating Board for the United Kingdom for the consideration by persons representing the interests of— (a) the authorities who between them maintain the police forces in Great Britain and the Royal Ulster Constabulary, (b) the persons who are members of those police forces or of that Constabulary or are police cadets, (c) the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, and (d) the Secretary of State, of questions relating to hours of duty, leave, pay and allowances, pensions or the issue, use and return of police clothing, personal equipment and accoutrements.
The latest constituents of the PNB are:
Official side (Full PNB): • Secretaries of State (Home Secretary, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Scottish Ministers)
• The Association of Police Authorities of England and Wales (including one member representing the Metropolitan Police Authority)
• The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities • The Northern Ireland Policing Board
