 Organisation Details

NPCC

The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) help police cut crime and keep the public safe by joining up the operational response to the most serious and strategic threats. They bring together 43 operationally independent and locally accountable chief constables and their chief officer teams to coordinate national operational policing. They also work closely with the College of Policing, which is responsible for developing professional standards, to develop national approaches on issues such as finance, technology and human resources.

NPoCC

Launched in April 2013 by the former Policing Minister Damian Green MP and overseen by the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC), formerly the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC) replaced the Police National Information Coordination Centre with a wider remit to ensure policing is better prepared to deal with wide scale disorder or mobilisation of police assets.

The centre maintains an oversight of national capacity and capability of specialist policing roles and assesses these in relation to the Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR) and National Policing Requirement (NPR).

NPoCC helps effectively coordinate these resources to support forces during large scale events and operations and in times of civil emergency.

NPoCC also works with partners, organisations and intelligence agencies to ensure that as threats change there if sufficient policing capacity to deal with them.

Capability is tested through an extensive testing and exercising programme, undertaken with partner agencies including the Home Office, Cabinet Office’s Civil Contingencies Secretariat, the Department for Communities and Local Government, and the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme.

NPoCC also has a key role to play in providing assurance to government that the British Police Service has the ability to deal with the SPR threats. This is done through formal reporting and representation at COBR.

UK Disaster Victim Identification (UK DVI) also falls within the NPoCC structure. This is the UK police response to disasters relating to mass fatalities in the UK and abroad.

NPAS

The focus of NPAS is to deliver a more cost effective service, balancing the need to save money in a challenging economic environment against the need to ensure the police service has a quickly deployable asset that can be used to tackle crime and protect the public.

NPAS will ensure that essential air support continues to be delivered where it is required; ensuring that confidence in the service remains high. Forces will also be able to make use of a number of aircraft within each region meaning that the police service’s response will, in many cases, be enhanced over current provision. NPAS will be a truly national (England and Wales) policing service that will be at the heart of improving public safety. It will bring improvements in operational efficiencies and allow for the introduction of innovative contracts that offer better value for money for the service and the tax payer.
