Sir Ronnie Flanagan has written an interim report on the review he is conducting into policing The review examines the progress made in four areas and will ultimately make focused recommendations on:
- how to reduce bureaucracy and promote better business processes
- how to sustain and improve the excellent progress that has been made on neighbourhood policing
- how to ensure the public are at the heart of local policing priorities by improving local involvement and accountability
- how the police service can manage its resources effectively to meet the tough challenges ahead
Early recommendations
In the report, Sir Ronnie credits the willingness of police 'at every level' to embrace change. 'Of course, change we must, if the service is to keep pace with the fast moving developments within British society,' he said.
The ability to provide efficient and cost effective communications with the emergency services is of paramount importance, as is the drive to achieve savings in line with the Gershon Review. Effective communications and information sharing are key elements that will help the emergency services achieve operational targets and strategies.
Police Forces are under pressure to deliver against targets, increase the number of officers in the community, increase crime detection and reduce the level of crime. The need to extend services into the community and the complexity and increase of intelligence systems is placing greater demands on stretched communications infrastructures and resources.
Central Public Sector has a wide range of solutions that can help your force to achieve operational targets, increase productivity and reduce costs.
