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


If Sir Hugh offers to resign, it should be politely accepted by the Home Secretary. The same goes for any other Chief Constable who believes that the public cannot be trusted to have a say in how they behave. The sooner we clear the decks of the inveterate quangocrats and bureacrats, the better for everyone and the sooner we can get some common sense decisions made by common sense coppers who are in touch with the frontline and what the public really want from their police service.


Let Chief Officers prove themselves as the strong and effective leaders the rank and file and the public expect. Selected officers can continue to liaise and advise the Government without the expensive and now grossly embarrassing fiasco that ACPO has become.


Repeating what was said in the introduction, the time has surely come for this unelected, unsupervised and powerful body to be brought to heel and replaced with a legislatively- controlled organisation which can be called to account for its activities.
