The Case Against ACPO - A Critical Look At The Association Of Chief Police Officers
From Jimbo Nice to see our taxes well spent-
http://www.acpo-apa.co.uk/files/apa_acpo_programme.pdf Champagne receptions in 5* hotels makes my blood boil. We’re lucky to get a sandwich and bottle of water on a pre-planned EDL march that lasts 16 hours. Also why on earth would anyone want to sponser ACPO events? I mean I thought all our contracts had to be put out for tenure and things….. . . . .

From Hugh Janus As a retired cop after 32 years service, I am now a local authority officer and have recenlty completed a course run by the N.P.I.A., on the much vaunted accreditation scheme. What a total load of ‘horlicks’. There was little or nothing in the training on how to apply the law, only repeated buzz phrases such as ‘”Key Individual Networks.” The cousre was totally patronising, with no real test of an individual’s knowledge on the subjects that had been taught. When I speak to officers today, many seem to have little knowledge of the law or their powers. Doubtless this is resultant of the demise of the regional police training centres. N.P.I.A. = National Police Inability Agency. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
From Hugh Janus In my 32 years in policing, I saw that the majority of people in A.C.P.O. were just a bunch of sycophants who had little idea how to provide the public with a good policing service. A large number of them only have their own interests at heart. Unfortunately I have seen a degeneration in policing standards over many years, largely due to bad leadership and poor supervision.
I have seen the introduction of what is laughingly called the National Police Improvement Agency, that in my view has led in many cases to a lowering of standards.
I am now employed by a local authority, in a law enforcement role and regularly work alongside police officers and P.C.S.O.s. The majority in the lower echelons are as good as they ever were, but many of the senior officers are almost anonymous. The Chief Constable has been in post for two years. Usually, in my experience, on arrival a new Chief Constable would tell the public what his aims and objectives were and make some effort a leading his officers. This guy rarely gives interviews to the media and seems to do little to inspire his team. It seems like he has reached the top and now just wants to see out his time to get his excellent pension, then go.
It’s all gone horribly wrong and it is difficult to see how anyone can stop the rot. It certainly isn’t the service I recall. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . From Spartan Cop I predict that recruitment will be frozen, all those on 30 plus will be given 28 days notice and those that have continued over 30 years will be required to leave. Those that are restricted
