The Case Against ACPO - A Critical Look At The Association Of Chief Police Officers
• ACPO : Association of Chief Police Officers (to include the Metropolitan Police Commissioner)
• Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland – ACPOS
Staff Side (Full PNB) • Chief Police Officers’ Staff Association (England and Wales) - CPOSA • Scottish Chief Police Officers’ Staff Association - SCPOSA • Police Superintendents’ Association of England and Wales • Association of Scottish Police Superintendents • Superintendents’ Association of Northern Ireland • Police Federation of England and Wales • Scottish Police Federation
Police Federation for Northern Ireland Now, according to The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) own website,
"ACPO is not a staff association (the separately constituted Chief Police Officers' Association fulfils that function). ACPO's work is on behalf of the Service, rather than its own members. The Association has the status of a private company limited by guarantee. As such, it conforms to the requirements of company law and its affairs are governed by a Board of Directors."
The 'separately constituted Chief Police Officers' Association', however does not appear to have its own website and we can find very little information about them.
Similarly ACPOS state on their website "We are an independent organisation registered in Scotland with Companies House (company number SC310956) as a company limited by guarantee. We are also a charity registered in Scotland (no. SC039323)." Again the SCPOSA does not have its own website and we can find very little information about them.
Section 64 of the Police Act 1996 states Membership of trade unions :
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this section, a member of a police force shall not be a member of any trade union, or of any association having for its objects, or one of its objects, to control or influence the pay, pensions or conditions of service of any police force.
