  1. I have recently joined the community (see new members) but want to, on behalf of the College of Policing, engage with as many members of the SC as possible to seek your views on the design of a model to assess competence of SC officers in the workplace. The proposal arises out of the Winsor review in linking progression through the pay scales to performance and competence for regular officers. However Winsor also recommended that this also apply to the Special Constabulary but without the pay element. I would like any views or comments you may have on the any of the following - viability of all SC officers having an annual appraisal?, whether it should be the force appraisal or a slimmed down version?, if we don't use a PDR / Appraisal what should be used?, what would be the common denominator to assess competence of the core role of a constable (Independent Patrol, accompanied Patrol, something else)?, who should conduct the assessment? and how should we acknowledge and reward performance if pay is not an issue?. In doing this I also need to keep in mind that making it too detailed may lead to officers stepping back from the process or even leaving the SC because of bureaucracy which is not want I want. I will be looking at other ranks within the SC and what is suitable for those ranks but as the majority of members are at Constable rank I would prefer at this stage to concentrate comments at that rank I am happy to take your views here or via the Specials community POLKA page that is available to you all via the College of policing website. Please keep any views you want to publish here within the terms and conditions of this site remembering it is public facing. If you prefer, please leave a comment on the locker room page which is more secure.
  2. Hi everyone I'd be very interested to see the feedback on this poll, which I have kept very basic and to 6 questions so as to keep it concise . This surrounds the activities undertaken by SC's and what they most and least enjoy. The lists are non-exhaustive and would really benefit from "Others" answers being expanded upon. Ideally we'd split this by regional service, and work out what they get their SC's to do compared to others - but that can come later. PS. This is in "General Discussion" rather than "Polls" - so feel free to move this
  3. When is it coming out? I though it was supposed to be in Jan?...
  4. Evening, Just a quick one, I’ve had experiences of both English and Scottish forces as well as urban and rural / semi rural policing. Been at it 5 years now since I was green eyed 18 year old. Currently a regular in Scotland, however, I’m looking to transfer to the Met in the next 12 months or so. I have it on good authority they’ll be opening up periodically around every 6 months or so for transfers in the near future. I’ve always fancied the Met mainly for the apparent uniqueness of policing London. In addition I’m also starting to miss working in a purely urban / inner city environment. I know it’s going through a lot of change at the minute, but thought I’d seek some advice from people in the know (Met colleagues) prior to applying. Any advice on effects of Windsor / force organisation / force moral would be appreciated. Cheers.
  5. Just out of interest, should Winsor become implemented in full and privatisation continue it's merciless creep into the Police Service, I wonder if any PCs have given any thought to life outside the job; be it after resigning, redundancy, A19 or retirement? And how to make yourself that little bit more appealing in the private sector. Being a Police Officer we all know we have high tolerance levels, good discipline and personal responsibility, excellent communication and problem-solving skills, high levels of confidence, and a whole host of other qualities. But the problem is we don't really have anything formal that recognises these skills, and in the private sector it's all about what qualities you can evidence on the CV. No-one outside of the job will be able to understand what it is we do, so explaining it to them will prove difficult. I wonder if anyone has thought about spending some time while in the Police preparing for a life away from it, in terms of enrichment or qualifications, and whether you'd bother to try and make yourself a more attractive investment; either so that the Police will hold onto you, or to enable you to take a job with G4S when they ultimately take over the world? I have signed up to start a course in September through the University of Portsmouth, for an FdA in Police Studies. Now I've always been 'anti' these degrees for prospective Police applicants, thinking that they're too specific and pigeon-holed, and limiting your prospects should you fail to become a PC. However as someone who is already a PC, the content of the course looks quite interesting and specific, and it will allow for progression onto BScs in Crime & Criminology, Risk & Security Management, or Counter Fraud and CJS. The course itself has no examinations, relying on coursework alone, and the final project in the second year is work-based, meaning you will need to come up with and complete a project in the 'real world'. A couple of chaps in CID have completed it and speak highly of it, which ultimately made my decision for me, and they're both continuing to BSc level with another 18 months work. The course is also only available to serving PCs, PCSOs or SCs, so you won't be mingling with MOPs. My hope is that once I have my BSc or MSc in something like Criminology, Counter-Corruption or Policing, Policy & Leadership it will put me in good stead for internal moves and promotion, and hopefully make me a good investment for my Force. And equally it will give me a good qualification to evidence for work away from the Police with a host of organisations. I just wonder what others thoughts on such a thing are... I'm personally quite looking forward to studying again and developing myself further. Never thought I'd be saying I missed study mind you!
  6. Join the march – Thursday 10th of May 2012 – are you going? I haven’t seen much mention of the upcoming Police Federation march at London on Thursday the 10th of May on the website and as the most visited Police form in the UK, who is going?? I have posted this in ‘general discussion’ to reach a wider audience as the march is open to all serving and retired Police officers, Specials, staff, friends & family and members of the public. In my opinion the basis for the march concerns everyone and is not restricted to ‘regular’s only’ or ‘regular’s zone’. If you are seeking to join the service in any capacity, then you need to be aware of the issues of concern as they will affect you. For those who are unaware of what I’m posting about, thousands of police officers from across the country are to march through London to show their determination to resist the Government’s unprecedented programme of cuts to police numbers and degradation of officers’ conditions of employment. Many within the service feel that we are currently being attacked by all angles from the current government in the form of the Hutton, Windsor 1 & 2 and Neyroud reports. Not to mention the 20% cut’s to Policing budgets. There are far too many issues to be mentioned in my post, but some of the more emotive to officers are; · Reduction in Police officer pay · Pay freeze for four years (last increase Sept 2010) · Direct entry reducing promotion opportunities · Buy-out of overtime · Police officers subject to compulsory redundancy (but without any employee rights) · Officers injured in the line of duty made redundant if unable to conduct ‘front line duties’ · Privatisation of some Policing services Please see more information here; https://www.metfed.org.uk/support/uploads/1334060804Fed%20march.pdf
