CCZZ16A15 - Identification, Consolidation & Redevelopment of Policing Role Profiles

By 2020 the Police Service will have transformed the way it delivers its mission. Police reform will be focused on the people, enabled by systems and processes. Transformation must inspire officers, staff and volunteers and develop the flexibility, capability and inclusivity required to adapt to change. As the nature of crime changes so does the skills required of the workforce. Policing will need to compete for the best people to create a police service which is better equipped to deal with changing requirements. By 2020 policing will be a profession with a more representative workforce that will align the skills, powers and experience to meet these challenges.

In addition to the above the Leadership Review (2015) confirmed the importance of introducing a robust professional development programme across policing. It recommended a need to ‘review the rank and grading structures in policing across warranted and staff roles’ to transform the policing workforce to value individuals’ autonomy and professional discretion.

It is intended that any successful supplier will work closely with the existing Professional Development Programme Team and forces. The College lead will oversee progress, any issues and quality of the deliverables and will also provide the conduit for any interaction between the successful supplier and police forces and their representative bodies.

Further details can be found within the full documentation attached to this notice.
