Leicestershire Police, The Future Look and Feel of the Force
The Chief Constable will lead a smaller force, with officers only in posts that require warranted powers or specific expertise. The force will have a more mixed economy in many front line and middle office roles through workforce modernisation and more police staff within roles traditionally performed by warranted officers.We will invest in our staff, seeking to professionalise the service and supporting personal accountability and performance. There will be a greater level of omni-competent officers and staff with less pure specialists. These will be managed within a reduced number of units and sections.
The force will remain committed to local policing, supporting communities to be empowered to deal appropriately with local low level issues, and take responsibility for preventing crime. This will be supported by officers and staff across the force, and through work at the regional and sub regional level to deal with more serious or complex threats. There will be a smaller local footprint with resourcing based on threat and risk, and supported through increased accessibility to policing remotely through technology and social media.
The organisation will focus on dealing with issues at their source through a proactive and preventative approach. We will be mindful of new emerging threats and patterns of crime and disorder. We will do this through closer working with decreased partner resources, focusing on prevention, reduction and intervention. Collective commissioning will support this approach.
