There
is a great debate and discussion regarding Out Sourcing of Police Services by
some Police Authorities and some PCC Candidates.
Firstly
I believe that any Police Authority that attempts to outsource before the
Police and Crime Commissioner elections in November is at the best trying to circumnavigate
the Police & Reform act 2011 and landing any prospective Candidate with a fait accompli as far as any reform agenda, at worst it is a blatant challenge to
the will of the Police Minister Nick Herbert, Government and Parliament.
Don’t
get me wrong, I am not against Outsourcing pur se. I believe that until you
reform and lean the systems and the way Police work you cannot outsource as you
lock in existing inefficiencies for the length of the contract to the detriment
of the Public Purse.

| Security Guard, a vision for Surrey? |
The
Current proposals between Surrey and West Midlands Police Forces are misconceived
and wrong. You have to start with
leaning your systems and talking to the Police at the sharp end. Once you have established the best way of
working then there is scope to outsource noncore services, but until you really
discover what is needed you cannot lock any force in to long term financial
commitments I do have some detailed
proposals on how I would change Policing which I will map out in a later
blog, so watch this space!!
