Review says great savings can come through technology… …but an estimated 97% of science & tech investment in policing goes on maintaining existing technologies. “This is not sustainable technically,” it says. Ring-fenced @ukhomeoffice funding & more collaboration needed….

Really a great opp. with a portfolio that covers technical and behavioural priorities. Do you have the vision to deliver impactful science and technology in counter-terrorism?

Love this Rob, was thinking about it today, I believe there should be some form of Qualification but how it is achieved is the issue with stretching resources, after all would you want a solicitor without a qualification or one who has been round the block and is a good egg?

What’s known as an unhealthy churn (as per my second comment). Everyone staying forever isn’t good for anyone, but people leaving because of poor culture and overworking isn’t good either.

1/2 I’d love to debate the entry point bit some time over beer 🍺 Your final point I find is multi faceted, but there is good and bad in it. It’s not a job for life anymore and there is always a healthy churn which I think policing has never had ie: “Golden Handcuffs” 🙂

Transformation is a change of state, where the old gives way to the new. Much that is described as “Transformation” is actually amending the current state, not changing it.
