Content: The reason that the police have implemented this system, is that it provides a more accurate reflection on the different levels of thinking required for different ranking officers. The police see their system as a ‘pyramid’, with those at the top of the pyramid required to exercise more knowledge of all of the above elements, instead of just one or two. Below we’ve briefly broken down all of the new police core competencies and different areas, to give you a better idea of what they mean. New Police Values
Public Service
The first value is Public Service. Public Service relates to how well you can deal with members of the public, and work in line with the view that the responsibility of the police is to protect the interests of society. Safeguarding the public is an essential element of police work, and takes a great deal of personal responsibility. Transparency
Transparency is an essential element of police work. Think about what comes under the term ‘transparency’ – terms like honesty, openness and integrity. It’s vital that police officers can be transparent, as they need to show the public (and their colleagues) that they are genuine and can be trusted. Integrity
Integrity is really important.
