Description[?]:
Speech by, Vijaya Das Justice candidate for the FF. Many thanks for inviting me to speak today dear. It is always a really good opportunity to talk about something that is for me an absolutely key priority, which is police professionalization. We should establish the college as the first professional body for policing – charged with setting high standards and with making sure we do what we can to help everyone in policing to meet them through the course of their career. *A code of ethics should be taught. *A culture of continual professional development is beginning to be, at the very least, embraced. *the body of professional knowledge should continually grow. *The final pillar - standards of education – should be put in place, through the Policing Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF). Now, I hope you don’t mind if I refer to this as the PEQF for the next few minutes. I have to say that it is clear to me as I have been looking at this – and I hope it is increasingly clear to everyone working across the country – and most importantly to those police professionals working at the sharp end – that this is a big role for the college. A role in leading for policing on some of the most critical issues. Providing leadership essentially for the sector: on standards; and on professionalism particularly, which is obviously the subject of today’s conference. Why this is important? Our workforce reform goals are clear. We want to ensure the police force is flexible, capable and professional: agile enough to adapt as crime and society changes. As we know it is changing with the digital world and moving very fast. And this change can only accelerate with increases in interpersonal crimes and those perpetrated at distance across virtual and physical borders. Borders that for criminals are pretty much translucent and yet for us in policing too often become rigid. A more flexible, capable and professional police service So, policing needs to be prepared to meet the challenges of the future and the PEQF aims to give officers access to the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in doing just that. Professionalism As I said a few moments ago, this focus on recognizing and developing professionalism across policing is one which I care passionately about and we should all want to see develop in policing. Focus on the individual So we must make sure that those working in policing can access the best skills, support, and qualifications available. In essence, we want policing to recognize its status as a profession and its people as the professionals – holding them to clear ethical and performance standards, as you would see in the other professional disciplines. A big challenge for policing Let me be very straight about this – I recognize this is a really big challenge. It is a bold reform programme. But I know the college is going into this with its eyes open. If national standards are being set, then they need to be transferable across all police forces of the country and it is vital that all officers have access to training that equips them to deliver the high standard of service that the public expects. Conclusion It is clear to me that the scale of reform underway – reform that is being driven by policing in fact - is a result of us reaching a situation where the system genuinely recognizes the fact that we at the parliament do not run policing. We want to make sure that the framework is there for the sector to run and develop and reform itself. The college has an important part of play in that as in fact does every single person sitting here today. We need to have forces that are fit for the future and the college’s new Policing Education Qualifications Framework is an important step in meeting this challenge. Thank you. |
