THE INTERCEPTION - THE JOINT AGREEMENT
Offences Against Emergency Workers
This document sets out the agreement on offences against emergency workers between Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), NHS England, the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC), and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Purpose of this agreement. This agreement provides for a broad framework to ensure the more effective investigation and prosecution of cases where emergency workers are the victim of a crime, particularly in applying the provisions of the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018 (the 2018 Act) and to set out the standards victims of these crimes can expect.
The principles in this agreement do not create legally enforceable rights or obligations but set out minimum expectations for all signatories.
ENGAGE - ARE YOU WITH US OR AGAINST US
Fire and Rescue Service is proudly supporting a campaign launched against assaults on frontline workers.
Fire and Rescue Service is proudly supporting a campaign launched this week (30 April) against assaults on frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic. ‘Are you with us or against us?’ is the question being posed by key workers from across Nottinghamshire in a direct message to the communities they serve, following a spate of over 60 incidents where frontline workers have been coughed on or spat at while on the frontline of dealing with the coronavirus outbreak. The video appeal features doctors, nurses, paramedics, police officers, prison officers, firefighters and other frontline workers from across the county. Nottinghamshire Police has so far investigated 61 incidents of key workers being coughed on or spat at during the five-week period from Friday 20 March – just before the nationwide lockdown began – to Monday 27 April.
GRASSROOT INTERCEPTION
Use of Force Thinking Smarter
In Light of the George Floyd incident, (BBC, 2020) and more recently the disturbances in Brixton (Standard, 2020).
Public debating is calling for tougher measures, tougher laws, tougher attitudes (CNN, 2020), we believe it’s time to be thinking smarter, and Passing the Baton offers a new way for both parties, Citizen and State in the communities to be connected and, while at the same time, the community can gain insight into the procedure of the Police Use of Force, as we refer to the training manuals published by the Ministry of Justice, (Justice, 2020) and Police UK College (college.police.uk, n.d.), as we also question, “How the cameras can be used in police training, management, and internal investigations to improve police performance, accountability, and legitimacy in the community,” (Lockhart, 2019).
Booted and Rooted Believe that Passing the Baton will, they envisage, mobilise the community, of which, they want to Increase understanding about the Police use of force (HMIC, n.d.), build trust between authorities and community (Police, 2020), and reduce assaults against Police, By thinking smarter and working together, our public participation with the community will involve, fact sheets and packs, and when permitted, workshops, public meetings, and open houses.
