Flying Bull, either you don't know who the HMIC are, or your foreign, which is it?
The facts speak for themselves, The man running this (the Chief Supt) has had enough time now to rebuild NPAS and make it more efficient.
He has bugg**ed the staff up placing non SME's in positions which require SME's!
He has removed nearly all the aviators from the decision making processes. Cops now account for 95% of the board?
He's bought FW before he did a proper technical assessment of whether the finished article would work (it hasn't).
He has located the assets in places where the shortfall in response times would make the biggest impact on operational performance indicators.
No wonder the results are what they are.
I would imagine he'll be moved sideways in 2018 by either the CC of W Yorks, or the PCC, so someone with experience in these matters can make the right decisions.
One of our jewels in the police crown has been tarnished simply because of bad management.
Let's see how they reverse out of this now, but I fear it will now come under the beady gaze of the treasury who will see it as a target for removal as a whole. NPAS will then have a whole new meaning: NO police air service.
