I can confirm that the individuals you have listed in your request are all employed, or have
been employed, by Kent Police at some time and are all Common Purpose Graduates.
Common Purpose is a cross-sector educational programme that seeks to engage senior
managers in a wide range of experiential learning in order for them to be able to enhance their
leadership skills within their own organisations as well as developing business networks
towards the 'common purpose' of improving the quality of services and prosperity to the county
of Kent. Consequently, and with that aim in mind, when officers achieve a position in the
organisation that would see them serving or acting in the role of a BCU (Basic Command Unit)
Commander, they may attend this programme.
The main benefits of the Common Purpose Programme, as identified by officers when the
scheme was last evaluated are:
- A greater understanding of how other agencies work and the problems they face
- A broadened outlook
- The opportunity to build useful networks within the area
- Improved relationships with other partner agencies on behalf of the Force
- Promoting greater understanding about the police
You have asked for information concerning ‘board and committee positions’. These terms do
not entirely correspond with the police environment. I have interpreted this to refer to the
individual’s current operational role and these have been provided.
We do not hold information regarding previous positions held by the individual officers listed
above, as we do not hold records dating back to 1998. However I can confirm their current
ranks and positions within Kent Police, these are listed below.
Adrian Allen – Inspector – West Kent Management Team
Nora Chandler – Detective Superintendent – Head of Investigations, Professional Standards
Mark Janaway – Superintendent – Tactical Operations
