  14. STATEMENT OF MISSION AND VALUES – JULY 2011 The mission of the police is to make communities safer by upholding the law fairly and firmly; preventing crime and antisocial behaviour; keeping the peace; protecting and reassuring communities; investigating crime and bringing offenders to justice. We will act with integrity, compassion, courtesy and patience, showing neither fear nor favour in what we do.We will be sensitive to the needs and dignity of victims and demonstrate respect for the human rights of all. We will use discretion, professional judgement and common sense to guide us and will be accountable for our decisions and actions. We will respond to well-founded criticism with a willingness to learn and change. We will work with communities and partners, listening to their views, building their trust and confidence, making every effort to understand and meet their needs. We will not be distracted from our mission through fear of being criticised. In identifying and managing risk, we will seek to achieve successful outcomes and to reduce the risk of harm to individuals and communities. In the face of violence we will be professional, calm and restrained and will apply only that force which is necessary to accomplish our lawful duty. Our commitment is to deliver a service that we and those we serve can be proud of and which keeps our communities safe.

  15. The Code of Ethics

  16. Should the ACPO Ethics Portfolio challenge more? • Chief Officers pay • Lifetime membership of ACPO • Post police employment • Relationships with the media • Hospitality • How do you challenge without being judgemental? • Being right and being SEEN to be right

  17. The Future • Much greater emphasis on corporate governance – linked to ethics and standards • Joint Force / PCC Ethics Committee with an independent chair? • National registers for gifts, hospitality, business interests, reward packages • Code of ethics (bringing together Peelian Principles, the attestation and the Statement of Mission and Values) • Post Employment restrictions for chief officers • Changes to vetting and disciplinary proceedings

  18. ‘Good’ to ‘Great’ and coping with failure? • ‘Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm’ (Winston Churchill) • Scientific Theory v Ethical Theory • How do you chose a head of professional ethics?

  19. Chaplaincy • Challenges the force is facing: • Change – new PCC • Financial pressures on the force • Shrinking organisation • Commitment to service improvement • Performance • Collaboration • Financial pressures on individuals • Role of Chaplaincy • To support staff • To support the pubic in critical incidents (Chaplaincy history) • To be a ‘faith’ presence in the force • A force for good • Confidentiality and independence • Maximising the unique informal communication root that chaplaincy opens up • To provide a multi-faith team
