2(c) Matters Arising from Chief Officer Portfolio updates (where not otherwise on the agenda) DCC Pilling The Board received an update on the Recruitment project and noted the next phase to recruit internally is underway with a closing date of this Sunday with over 800 applications expected. The work to shortlist these applications will be extremely resource intensive with limited capacity within the Recruitment team. Assistance is being sought from SLF members as trained assessors to ensure there is no slippage on the agreed timescales. Work is underway to consolidate the recruitment approach for Apprentices. ACO Potts The IS Transformation Programme received two tenders however during assessment these were found to be non compliant so the process has been paused in order to re issue the tenders with a very short timeframe for responses. The Financial Accounts for 2015/16 will be closing shortly and it was noted there has been a very busy operational time which will have implications for the budget. ACC Shewan Engagement with Local Authority Executives, councillors and other major stakeholders continues as part of the Local Policing Model implementation. Key messages for both internal and external communications have been approved to ensure consistency. Consideration of structures and how this fits with the TOM and Public Sector Reform, integrated working and community engagement will form the next stage of work. ACC Sutcliffe (Update by DCh Supt Jackson) The Board were updated that thirty arrests have now taken place during the week long crackdown on incidents of human trafficking and slavery with very positive media coverage by the BBC, Channel Four and the Manchester Evening News. Whilst this operation has been run by the Challenger Modern Slavery Unit, it was noted the consideration to put additional resources onto divisions to assist this work will be considered in the wider Investigation and Safeguarding Review, alongside Cyber Crime and Fraud. ACC O Hare The Board received an update on the work underway within the Specialist Operations Branch, including current large scale events and the police response planning which is currently underway, including: Planning for the Manchester Derby underway, no specific intelligence to date Manchester 10K Run is taking place on the same day as a Turkish Protest March and a leave restriction has been put in place for all Specialist Operations Branch staff on the day. Operation Ironside is due for review at the end of March. Work is also underway on the Promotion Process for Sergeants to Inspectors and it has been agreed there will be no paper sift in order to gain a more balanced assessment of the individual. The process is still being drafted and it was noted the challenge will be the huge amount of applications for a very limited number of opportunities. 2 P age
