Regulation A19 in North Yorkshire
Posted on 14/12/2010
I have just completed a number of media interviews following the decision taken today by North Yorkshire Police Authority in relation to A19.
I am grateful for the advice and assistance of the JCC and in particular Paul Mckeever.
As a result of representations made by myself on behalf of our members we have secured better governance arrangements and excellent media coverage.
What the Police Authority have agreed is:
- To agree that with effect from 1st April 2011 and subject to 6 monthly reviews the Chief Constable will personally determine on the grounds of the efficiency and effectiveness of the force whether he needs to implement the agreed delegated authority around compulsory retirement of officers with 30 years pensionable service,
- The police authority will review any operation of A19 on a quarterly basis through the Performance and Scrutiny Board,
- 12 months from any implementation the police authority Policy and Planning Board will review the operation of the scheme whether it is working and whether it is necessary to continue to use it.
We along with the Superintendent's Association will now work with the force on the detailed policy which will underpin the decision taken today should the Chief Constable determine that it is part of his toolbox that he needs to use.
