It is astonishing that papers for meetings of the National Police Chiefs' Council are not proactively published and that it is still taking requests such as these to obtain them.
Minutes, but not agendas and papers are published, from time to time, at:
https://www.npcc.police.uk/FreedomofInfo...
An enormous cache of documents has been released here. I suspect the release is full of newsworthy material. I have tweeted elements I noticed:
"New #FOI release from @PoliceChiefs
“@NorfolkPolice
and @SuffolkPolice
have expressed the view that they no longer require conventional air support.” [“conventional” in this context appears to include helicopters]."
https://twitter.com/RTaylorUK/status/131...
"New #FOI release from @PoliceChiefs
floats idea of bringing police and coastguard helicopters into an "integrated emergency services air support organisation” with "other ‘blue light’ organisations"
https://twitter.com/RTaylorUK/status/131...
"Newly released report on police helicopters from @PoliceChiefs
: "Over 40% of NPAS Actioned Calls for Service (ACS) are cancelled before take-off, or prior to arrival. This equates to over 1,000 flying hours at a gross cost in excess of £1m.”"
https://twitter.com/RTaylorUK/status/131...
"#FOI "A [police helicopter] response service to priority areas within Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Cumbria, Humberside, Dyfed Powys, the majority of Cornwall and parts of Lancashire takes over 30 minutes and does not meet the local operational need” "
https://twitter.com/RTaylorUK/status/131...
"#FOI @PoliceChiefs
report forces' views on a new police aeroplane service that cost £17.5m "a number of forces have expressed the view that there is no operational requirement for this capability and that they do not wish to pay for their services”"
https://twitter.com/RTaylorUK/status/131...
"#FOI release from @PoliceChiefs
on making 999/101 accessible to those who are deaf or have don’t have good hearing. System used for NHS111 may be trialled in policing "
