HM...Lets kick of then with the actual words used:-<br /><br />HMIC recommends that the position and status of ACPO should be clearly defined with transparent governance and accountability structures, especially in relation to its quasi-operational role of the commissioning of intelligence and the collation and retention of data.<br /><br />There appear to be four choices to regulating the position and status of ACPO:<br />(i)<br />Continuation of ACPO’s current status as a private limited company with some internal structural change to ensure a level of transparent governance.<br />(ii)<br />Transfer of ACPO’s quasi-operational units to a police force equipped to manage these functions on a national basis.<br /><br />(iii)Adoption of a framework mirroring other professions (such as the medical profession) where a statutory body is charged with ensuring the proper standards of professional practice through the dissemination of professionalguidance, regulation of training and enforcement of discipline (eg the General Medical Council) while a separate representative association represents the professional and personal interests of its senior members across the profession (eg the British Medical Association).<br /><br />(iv)Constitutional change by establishing ACPO as a statutory public body, centrally funded by and accountable to Government and tasked with providing a coordinating role and operational support function for the police service at the national level. ACPO would retain responsibility for its current quasi-operational units but as a public body, would be required to comply with (among others) the Data Protection Act 1998, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000.<br /><br />So in all options the 'National Units' remain.<br /><br />Doh!Sir Hugh Ordehttp://ww.acpo.govnoreply@blogger.com
