As a new Acting Inspector, I believe it's essential to maintain a strong connection with the communities we serve. That's why I continue to go out on foot patrol regularly. Walking the streets allows me to directly engage with residents, business owners, and community leaders. I can listen to their concerns, answer their questions, and build trust. This firsthand interaction provides invaluable insights into the challenges facing our neighbourhoods. By understanding the specific needs and priorities of our communities, we can tailor our policing strategies to effectively address crime and disorder. It's about being proactive, not just reactive. #neighbourhoodpolicing #policing #communityengagement

#MoreThanBlueLights | Hi, I'm Dan, I work for Bedfordshire Police as a Contact Operator in the Force Control Room (FCR ). I grew up watching all the cop shows from The Bill and Line of Duty to Bodyguard and Bluelights. I had always had an admiration for the work police do and it had always been in the back of my mind to give it a go. In July 2023 I got the opportunity and did just that. As cliché as it may sound... being able to help people in their hour of need is very rewarding. Our FCR sections (teams) work cohesively; between call handlers, radio agents and officers to coordinate the appropriate police response. In the FCR we are supported by our management team, from senior management through to our Oscar 1 (FCR Inspector... AKA "the boss!"), Oscar 2 and the supervisors. What I have learnt is there are big differences in real world policing and what the big and small screens depict. Often you will see in cinema/TV; police officers and police staff running intelligence checks on information seemingly "willy nilly". I found it reassuring that in the real world, all searches are auditable and there are a range of laws that mean all our officers and staff need to have a proper policing purpose (and be able to justify that) to look up information about people, vehicles and locations to name but a few. I am currently in the process of becoming a special constable with Beds Police, a volunteer role with the same powers, scrutiny and responsibility as a regular police officer. Having been on attachments with various departments, (which is a great benefit of working here) I have seen firsthand the "other side" of the job, what happens after I have taken, risk assessed and sent an incident for dispatch. From our Crime Investigation Department to the Road Policing Unit, Custody and Patrol - being out with our officers has sparked my intrigue and I applied. Being a special?is a great way of trying policing to see if it is for you. It is a volunteer position and the minimum requirement after training is only 16 hours a month. I look forward to going back to some of those departments as a warranted special and get stuck in. I would say to anyone thinking about a career in policing, go to our open days, talk to our officers and staff about their job. There are so many different roles in Bedfordshire Police. The next open day is this Saturday 14 September - there’s no need to book – just turn up to Bedfordshire Police HQ (Woburn Road, Kempston) any time between 10am and 2pm.

What are your thoughts on the shared services approach to local policing Police1 has an interesting article on how sharing services can enhance public safety without adding to budgets.

Law enforcement agencies across the United States are experiencing a significant increase in staffing since 2020. According to recent Police Executive Research Forum survey, many departments have resorted to increased salaries, hiring bonuses, and changing testing protocols to attract more applicants. However, the biggest factor contributing to this trend is the perception of the job and support from the community and elected officials. This positive trend is crucial to ensuring the safety and security of our communities. Let's continue to support our efforts to hire and retain qualified law enforcement officers and work together to build a stronger and safer society.???♂? ??♀ #lawenforcement?#policing?#hiring?#PERF?#crime?#recruitment?#retention?#police Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eYnDNir6

Police officials are confronted daily with ethical issues and the use of force decisions to ensure community safety, whilst still respecting human rights. Acting within their legal powers as directed in the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 is essential. By understanding the criteria for state protection and consistently applying the law, police officials can protect themselves and SAPS from liability in civil claims.... #policeaccountability# #policebrutality# #useofforce#

My thoughts on small police agency recruitment. Our agency managed 9 years without a vacancy. How can we make smaller agency positions more appealing? Does the quality of life within the agency or the community play a role? My opinion on Small Law Enforcement Agency Advantages/Disadvantages Disadvantages: Fewer Advancement Opportunities: Slower career progression and fewer specialized assignments. Increased Workload: Officers juggle multiple roles, from patrol to admin. Less Backup in Emergencies: Fewer officers mean less immediate support. Limited Specialized Units: Broader duties, fewer specialized teams like SWAT or K9. Advantages: Tight-Knit Community: Stronger bonds with residents and more community impact. Broader Experience: Officers gain diverse skills from varied duties. Close Relationships: A familial atmosphere with colleagues. More Immediate Impact: Individual contributions stand out. Direct Access to Leadership: Better communication with decision-makers. #LawEnforcement #SmallAgencyLife #CommunityPolicing ?
