Reform Evolution or Revolution

Firstly let’s look at the Policing Paradigms:

Are they TRUE or FALSE?


ReformEvolution or Revolution

Paradigm or myth one:

“The Police service has not changed in over 30 years.”

TRUE or FALSE



• PACE• Civilianisation• Diversity• Partnership• Role• Accountability• Modernisation



Paradigm or myth two:

“Police officers in roles that do not require police powers is wasteful”

TRUE or FALSE?



• Policing by consent• Resilience• Recruit Mix• Injury



Paradigm or Myth three:

“Police forces that have the higher % of their total staff as sworn officers are inefficient”

TRUE or FALSE?



• Winsor• Hutton • 24/7• No strike• On costs• Retired cops in modernisation



Paradigm or Myth four:

“The private sector is better at leadership, delivery and driving out costs”

TRUE or FALSE?



• Evidence? Public sector workers might disagree• Public services have learnt to drive out costs• Senior positions occupied by experienced private sector

leaders• How low can you go?• Accountability• Public Trust• Value for money



The Police Service is evolving and has been since I joined. It has familiar symbols but it is truly different to the force I joined. It is a learning service and will continue to move on, but its leaders must learn to challenge the paradigms that might have been true once but not for ever.



The next step change is technology and the skills are not in the service to maximise the opportunity.



• Citizen self-help• Mobility• Analytics• Change• Affordability• Multi-agency systems• A new deal from the private sector - “Pay as you go”



Tackling austerity through the use of technology to transform. Whilst the journey has been evolution to date, could this be the time for the “Technological” Revolution?

Thank you for listening…
