Oct 03 - Royal Gibraltar Police Attend College Of Policing's Excellence In Policing Conference

Commissioner of Police Eddie Yome and Superintendent Ullger recently attended the 16th Excellence in Policing (EIP) Conference at the College of Policing in the United Kingdom.

The EIP is run by the National Police Chiefs’ Council Performance Management Coordination Committee for the purpose of creating time and space in an atmosphere that is conducive to working and thinking differently about the challenges facing the police service.

It incorporated briefings from influential figures and a wide variety of workshops, teaching sessions and presentations to help keep leaders up to date and share effective practice.The EIP Conference is considered by many to be one of the most important events in the policing calendar, with a clear emphasis on current strategic issues faced by service leaders, stakeholders, regulators and delivery partners.

This year’s conference explored what is expected of and by the police and how these expectations are going to be met. Building on two highly successful one-day events, it advanced the continuing debate about how the police should be organised and equipped to meet the plethora of diversifying expectations. The conference focused on four main themes:

• Expectations: what are they and where do they come from?
• Expectations: equipping the organisation to meet them
• Expectations: working differently
• Expectations: ensuring they are met

Subjects included understanding demand, integrated services, digital policing, professionalising the service and developing a workforce that is ready and equipped to meet new expectations.
