The Policing Pledge
For the first time the public will know the minimum standard of service they should receive and I look forward to all forces making the same, visible commitment to their local communities." That enthusiasm was shared both by ACPO and by the Essex Chief Constable, Roger Baker. Cambridgeshire Chief Constable Julie Spence, ACPO's lead on citizen focus, said that chief officers were "unswervingly committed to a visible, accessible, responsive and familiar policing style, focused on the expectations and needs of local people," and added: "I hope the national Policing Pledge will help reassure the public that policing is responsive to their needs." However, it's also clear that the current approach to policing in Essex has helped the force to adopt the pledge much sooner - and probably more effectively - than many other forces. Mr Baker described the force's policy of attending every crime as "vital in reassuring our communities that positive action is being taken", and the neighbourhood policing initiative and Policing Pledge run alongside a commitment to place an additional 600 officers on the frontline over the next three to five years. But for forces who don't operate a policy of attending every crime, or are seeing the number of frontline operation officers reducing, meeting the national standards - particularly the response targets - could be much more difficult. The Home Secretary also said earlier this year that there were no plans to increase funding for rural forces which face specific difficulties in meeting some of the targets in the pledge. Speaking at the Superintendents' Association Conference, Ms Smith said that while she did "recognise the issues" facing forces with tight budgets and even tighter deadlines to get the pledge in place, it was important that communities had "national minimum standards" governing the level of service they should receive.Pages: 1 2 3 [4] 5
