Well Mr Chicken Leg. you might find that Police Officers are a touched miffed because Cameron has launched four reviews in two years, all detrimental to Police Pay and conditions. Worse than that, he's on a mission to privatise the Police. The following list is what West Mids have just put out to tender. Care to suugest what is left for actual Police to do. You might feel differently when G4S are carrying out all Police functions, for profit and for the benefit of their shareholders.
— Assure service – manage performance, maintain professional standards, assure compliance, manage risk, provide legal services,
— Bring offenders to justice – investigate crimes, detain suspects, non-judicial disposal, develop cases, support prosecution,
— Deal with incidents – respond to incidents, manage scenes of incidents, investigate incidents, manage major incidents, support victims and witnesses,
— Lead service – supports the Leadership of the organisation to develop strategy, policy and plans, manage change, and manage partnerships,
— Manage public engagement – patrol neighbourhoods, manage public relations, manage customer relationships, report on performance, manage contact,
— Manage resources – manage suppliers, manage finance, manage people, manage ICT, manage fleet and livestock, manage equipment, manage facilities,
— Protect the public – manage high risk individuals, improve communities, protect vulnerable people, disrupt criminal networks, manage planned operations, protect vulnerable places, manage licensing, manage road safety,
— Support operational services – manage duty and tasking, manage forensics, provide specialist services, gather police information, manage property and evidence, manage intelligence.
This list of services is not exhaustive and consideration may be given to inclusion of additional services or options for additional services of a similar nature to be provided on an incremental basis, which will assist in delivering the forces objectives.
The lot 1 supplier will be expected to work closely with the lot 2 supplier in order to deliver integrated transformation across services with the forces.
Yes, ALL the above to be done by PRIVATE comapnies. They will have access to all Police databases. They will have access to your DNA, the Police National Computer etc etc.
Perhaps now YOU will get a little miffed and demand to know from your MP why this is happening. You might also ask why the oedius little man who introduced this, a certain Mr Winsor, is a partner in a firm that advises....G4S....in bidding for privatised Police work. Corruption of the highest order.
