Monday 24 June, marks the beginning of the fourth national response policing ‘Week of Action’, which in addition to celebrating the professionalism and courage of response officers, is also an opportunity to recognise the challenges facing response policing and consider the future development of a key role that sits at the heart of policing.
We are working with the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing throughout the week to deliver a range of initiatives, co-ordinated specifically to support, develop and recognise the role of response officers.
Our wellbeing vans and dogs will be deployed across the UK, and we will be assisting with some of the College of Policing webinars.
We know response policing isn’t a 9-5, Monday to Friday job, so the resources we’re providing are also available online so you can access them whenever is most convenient to you.
The College of Policing will be hosting the events throughout the week, each session will be recorded and will be accessible via the Knowledge Hub for anyone who wants to watch again or catch up.
These ‘weeks of action’ are a great opportunity to let you know what is available to you, but also as a reminder that we are here to support you, and your force, not just during this week, but all year round.
Online sessions
We will be hosting three of the sessions for the College, they are:
Wearable tech to improve sleep, fatigue and recovery, Monday 24 June at 2pm with Andy Rhodes
Wellbeing - resilience and self-care, Thursday 27 June at 12 noon with Lee Taylor
Operation Hampshire - the response to police assaults starts with us, Thursday 27 June at 2pm with Dave Brewster
