respect is earn't not demanded

That's the thing police officers must remember when dealing with the public. :y

Although some people will never have any respect for the police or regard for the law, these individuals will be much fewer in number when compared to the vast majority of those the police come into contact with.

The danger is that once a negative, combative, excessive or disrespectful stance is taken with those whom it is our duty to protect the likelihood of any assistance being made available by those people - an essential element in maintaining a civilised and reasonable society - will be reduced to the non-existent or greatly diminished.

ACPO (Association of Chief police Officers) - is a private company



That is interesting and something I did not know.

Also why does the UK have so many "chief police officers" We are a tiny little island and yet almost every county has one, surely that is overkill.

It is for now, but will soon no longer will be, and is hardly comparable to a full commercial Limited Company ::) ;)

"ACPO's limited company status is no longer considered fit for purpose and the current President Sir Hugh Orde has stated publicly his desire to consider alternative structures for the Association.

    "Our role is to be the professional voice of the service, willing to talk to anyone with a serious interest in policing, because in senior police officers we have the world class knowledge and experience to explain it best. Against that backdrop it seems clear to me that ACPO's private company status, though adopted for good reasons, is now unhelpful and makes little sense to the public... We are not resistant to ideas about reform: on the contrary, chief officers welcome it."
    Sir Hugh Orde Sept 2009

It is:

"The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) is an independent, professionally led strategic body. In the public interest and, in equal and active partnership with Government and the Association of Police Authorities, ACPO leads and coordinates the direction and development of the police service in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In times of national need ACPO, on behalf of all chief officers, coordinates the strategic policing response."

 :D :D ;)

If you do some reasearch on APCO, you may find its very different from Ordes statement.
If you do some research on Orde you may find him to be a bit of a dick. ;)
