The Case Against ACPO - A Critical Look At The Association Of Chief Police Officers


Even by taking just two small-medium forces and merging them, they’d be able save considerable sums (millions) in the medium term and in the short-term, the savings would pay for (most of) the merger. Repeat that over the country and the amount saved starts to stack up, but if we didn’t have 43 Chiefs, but say 9 or 10? There’s a few quid there?!! Even if there is a confidential document, I wonder how it got leaked from an organisation that is supposed to embody the professionalism of managing secret, confidential and restricted information? Might it be to be the fear-of-God up the Daily Mail readership?! But might it be, that the thought of losing SO may police officers, might be one of the final arguments to suggest we need to lose ACPO and replace it completely, following a serious restructuring of forces that puts a lot of these people into retirement?


I’m grateful for one thing, though …… they’re are probably always going to need frontline PCs, Sergeants and Inspectors to run the 24/7 part of policing regardless of the lunacy breaking out everywhere else! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . From Bewildered It is pretty sickening isn’t it. If you could point to some fantastic outcome from these jollies then fair enough. But you never can. Don’t forget to add the costs of all the first class rail fares or chauffeur driven car journeys or travelling in job expensed over-spec’d cars to the cost of this essential networking opportunity, never mind the hours spent which they could have used to do something useful in. Oops, forgot, ACPO can’t actually do anything useful. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . From RocketDodger How can it be funded by £10 mil of OUR money yet still be a private company (making a profit etc) ?? They should change it from ACPO to OUT


Overpaid, Underachieving T*****s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
