The Case Against ACPO - A Critical Look At The Association Of Chief Police Officers A few summary points to consider:-
1. It is time that the Police Federation were granted full parity with ACPO on matters as sensitive as Police Reform, pay and pensions 2. ACPO should not be permitted to submit proposals to the Home Secretary on matters relating police pay, pensions and even reforms, without the prior input of the federated rank and file representation. 3. The status of ACPO as a company limited by guarantee MUST be questioned and sorted 4. The constitutional and legal status of CPOSA must be confirmed, transparent and legal 5. The PNB should not be chaired by an individual who is a paid up member of any political party. The chairman must be totally INDEPENDENT. 6. There should be distinctly separate sides on any board that negotiates pay. There should be a "Staff" side and and "Official" side, whose members are truly representative of the bodies they are accountable to. 7. It cannot be right that CPOSA (representing Chief Police Officers) have a presence on the staff side of the PNB. 8. Private companies and groups of individuals without a visible legal entity or formal constitution have no proper place in these discussions.
Until these fundamental principles are corrected, the interests of rank and file officers will be compromised.
We will be asking the Police Federation to contribute their views on the matters contained within this article and to the Police Reform Debate.
For matters that affect the rank and file officer, isn't it time the Police Federation were given equal parity to ACPO so that a balanced and collective police voice is presented?
