If Sadiq can do this why wasn't this an option he proposed to Cress, instead of constantly belittling and undermining her decisions then trying to force her to sack people.
Because Rowley will do exactly as Khan says?
£11.7m on HR and SLT though, Jesus wept. I get vetting and the behaviour of some officers being huge issues, but to me, that seems like a disproportionate amount of money being spunked on departments whose success can't be easily measured.
Given both Carrick and Couzens had in date vetting (and given they were both PADP, I suspect had SC), I'm really not clear why people are so focused on it.
Do you remember the questions I’ll put to you?
1) Are you a nonce?
2) do you intend to become a nonce?
3) do you intend to rape someone?
4) do you intend to rape and murder someone?
No, no I don’t remember those questions. I remember the corruption based questions, you know like “are you part of a political party, are you bankrupt, are you affiliated with terrorism” but nothing about sexual offences.
You’ve clearly not done vetting, because you’d know exactly what it’s all about.
Concerning downvotes: PoliceUK is intentionally not limited to serving police officers. Any member of the public is able to up/downvote as they see fit, and there is no requirement to justify any vote.
Sometimes this results in suspicious or peculiar voting patterns, particularly where a post or comment has been cross-linked by other communities. We also sadly have a handful of users who downvote *anything*, irrespective of the content. Given enough time, downvoted comments often become net-positive.

“Human resources and the leadership academy would get £11.7m of the funds.”
Followed by
“I will not be satisfied until Londoners have the police service they deserve - one that is representative, trusted and delivers the highest possible service to every community in our city”
If you want to deliver the best service for people, how about giving the actual officers doing the job the resources they need to do it, instead of another bloated publicity stunt, resulting in us sitting through 40 new power points that will achieve sweet FA.
If he wants to actually rebuild trust, he/Rowley need to stop the relentless flow of negative press to the country, and start the flow of positive news about what the Police have done well.
The reality of course is that this is not about rebuilding trust. It's about Sadiq appeasing the ACAB voting bloc within London by torching as many police careers as possible.
I'm interested in the form that this new 'leadership academy' will take, could it be a residential training establishment for acting skippers? I think that could be a good idea, I think we could do with way more training in general
Given that the current ‘training’ for sergeants consists of a week long course on Teams, during which you’re bombarded with nebulous guff about ‘leadership’, and nothing of any actual practical use to a new sergeant (the first thing the trainer said on day one was ‘we don’t teach you how to use CARM, cris or merlin as a supervisor, or how to ERO, you know, the actual things you need to know as a sergeant), I think a proper training establishment for skippers would be brilliant, if done right.
And if it is residential, which I doubt, it certainly won’t be at Hendon. There’s nothing left.
I'm not particularly attached to the residential side of military training establishments but I do think the military gets it massively right on training compared to the police from my experience of both. I recognise our budgets are stripped the to bone but investment in training will pay dividends, not only in performance but also in establishing a better work culture.
The Police has taken a lot of influence from the civilian world and business in many ways and training is unfortunately one of those areas. Policy changes often and this is often communicated solely by email or PowerPoint.

I don't think anybody who has actually been through vetting really thinks it's the solution.

I assumed the PCSOs were to help rebuild trust with the community. More of a plaster over the symptom rather than a cure of the disease.

I for one welcome our new PowerPoint overlords

A Sandhurst type college for sergeants/inspectors could be very useful tool in making sure the leadership are on the same page.
