I've had this invite to attend this conference, but at £150.00 have to turn it down.
Be interesting though:
"The most significant democratic reform of policing in our lifetime will be about to come to life...the public will now know who will be leading the fight against crime in their community. They will know exactly what their elected Police and Crime Commissioner has committed to doing. They will be ready for their elected representative to show they have earned the public's support. And they will know what to do if they don't deliver."
We would like to invite you to join us at our Policing and Justice Conference 2012 - a forum to discuss the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act and the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill, as well as examine the new ideas, techniques, technologies and partnerships which hope to make the Criminal Justice Sector more effective, and British communities safer.
With Councillors charged with ensuring the wellbeing of the communities they serve, it is essential that they are kept up to date with the current reforms in Policing and Justice.
This conference will look at pertinent issues affecting community safety, including: moving towards elected Police and Crime Commissioners; the future of local youth justice services; reducing reoffending through community partnerships; and the key role of local authorities in shaping local policing and justice services.
Electing Police and Crime Commissioners aims to change the accountability of local policing, and this timely conference will give Councillors an exclusive opportunity to speak with key policy makers, and colleagues from across the policing and justice sector, about this new relationship between the public and law enforcement.
"Maintaining and indeed improving the quality of the Criminal Justice System will be a major challenge. This can only be met by all of us involved working more efficiently in our own areas, focusing on fairness and effectiveness, and ensuring that we safeguard the quality of the service we offer the public. And we need to work together better, to take this opportunity to rethink processes and organisational arrangements, modernising and streamlining them."
