  1. Mark Castle Chief Executive, APA/APCC APACE

  2. Developing the APCC Offer • Consultation with Police Authority Chief Executives • Consultation with stakeholders • Engagement with candidates through events and direct correspondence • Monitoring candidates activity • Identifying risks and issues through national transition process • Ratification through APCC Board

  3. Key Points from Consultation • Recognition that there needs to be a national body • Politics mean we may not be able to get collective agreement on everything, but can coordinate and represent views • Mixed views on political configuration • Functions of most value: guidance on new legislation, providing updates on national meetings, timely and expert analysis on national policy, influencing government policy, access and connections to government departments • Challenge for APCC identified as understanding of local government context and broader criminal justice issues • APCC needs to become more proactive in shaping policy • Prioritise networking and practice sharing function • A clear working relationship/collegiate approach between APCC, APACE and PATS needs to be developed

  4. Update on Progress • 2 national briefing events and party conferences • Website and weekly updates/briefings to candidates • Public opinion poll on likely voting and public priorities • Publication of ‘first 100 day guide’ • Agreed ‘Partnership Board’ approach with LGA/WLGA • Identified interim management companies for PCCs if required • Establishing process for supporting PCCs appoint Chief Constables • Establishing links across government departments and securing representation of PCCs on key boards (CoP, NCA, NPAS, CT) • Working with the Home Office to establish the Police ICT Company

  5. Our Key Principles • Providing a professional service to PCCs and acting as interlocutor between the local and national • Being clear about what we can offer, but being sufficiently flexible to respond to the needs and expectations of PCCs • Avoid creating friction: election of chair, political balance in representation – but be prepared to take this approach if required • Not overwhelm PCCs with the national landscape – continue to manage representation, keep PCCs informed of developments and seek their views, but prioritise requests for national representation

  6. The National Landscape

  7. Governance and representation

  8. Governance • Subscriptions: No increase from 2011/12 (consideration given to weighting based on PCC salary, and equal subscriptions) • Voting: only on corporate decisions at AGM(election of Chair/Board, agreeing budget and plan); voting on policy is equal • Chair and Board: oversight of business only, potential for independent Chair as ‘convenor’; Board options include: political representation (weighted and un-weighted) + non-geographic. 5 – 7 members only. • Spokespeople: allow leaders to emerge through scrutiny committees and voting for national representatives.

  9. Supporting and Informing

  10. Next Steps • Publication of the ‘APCC Offer’ by 16th November • Briefing material for PCCs – summary of the national landscape, national calendar of key dates, outline of key statutory duties – available by 22nd November • Supporting HO event on 3rd December, and planning PCC Assembly on 23rd January (APCC business plan and budget, national representation, workforce, finance) • OGD Policy Session? Potentially in January with Chief Executives • Guidance documents: police funding, social media, equalities and diversity, transparency and information by end November (supporting APACE guidance documents) – all on website from 22 November • National publicity plan post-elections • Visits to PCCs by end January
