@Barrister7 @GazWeetman Congratulations Gareth, very well deserved.

WHAT a day.

@wmpfcaplo @strawpearce @J_Simner_Lawyer You are very welcome. You will be missed. Wishing you a very long and happy retirement.

What a lovely surprise delivered this evening. Beautiful flowers from @strawpearce Thank you so much @m_wardley @J_Simner_Lawyer and all of the team. It’s been a privilege working alongside you. #retirement

@fed_rep Congratulations Joe. Very much deserved.

For those that didn’t get it this year just keep your head down, look after your teams and it will come next time. Don’t give up! Thank you to my peers, senior leaders and of course my family for the support over the past 12 months.

It’s been a tough year after last years disappointment with the promotion process. I’m pleased to have received the email from the Chief informing me that I’ve managed to pass the promotion process this year. WBA and I can shed the ‘T’. Huge congrats to those that passed… 1/2

@Conduct_Phill @LincsPolFed We are on it. Two remarkable Officers who should never have been subject to GM proceedings. An IOPC directed Hearing where the evidence served did not establish any breaches of the SPB. On the contrary it proved their innocence. Despite that the IOPC insisted on a Hearing.

@LincsPolFed ??

A new low point in Case To Answer decision making even for @policeconduct !! This seems so bad it has to be either Gross Incompetence or Deliberate wilful Misconduct from whoever made this decision! I hope Lincs Fed can get the case decision log disclosed and take action.

@MisconductSol A very disappointing outcome.

Vetting and Pre-Attestation issues being thrashed out recently. Hopefully a common sense and fair approach will be taken. serjeantsinn.com/news/high-cour…

@kennyfritz2146 @leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 Hence the need for a challenge as we now have a managerial decision overriding a judicial/legal decision with all the protections that provides.

@m_wardley @leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 The misconduct regs are now worthless. If a Chief or Head of vetting don't like the sanction they will dismiss anyway. Locally our appeals go to.... The Head of Vetting who made the original decision so they can review it. It's like a real life Blackadder sketch.

For those wishing to support the status quo refer yourself to the Winsor review and Hutton report and ask yourself how did my ‘unique’ status protect me from: Pension erosion? A real term pay cut of 20%? A mission creep by police chiefs into conduct regulations to sack me?

@MisconductSol @kennyfritz2146 @leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 Very unfair and unjust

@m_wardley @kennyfritz2146 @leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 It’s going to create chaos.

@kennyfritz2146 @leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 We have JR pending (‘Dismissal’ by way of Reg 13 following a vetting withdrawal after a FWW at a misconduct meeting. Reserved judgment due end of August). Looks like we may have another JR soon as a result the new guidance!

@leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 The latest on vetting is an absolute disaster that represents a clear and present danger to all serving officers. It circumvents the misconduct process and will allow Chiefs to dismiss officers at will. I naively thought we had at least some semblance of democracy. I was wrong.

Looking forward to delivering Straw and Pearce’s first training event for the Fed reps that instruct us. 55 reps from 22 Forces attending. Vetting and police driver legislation are our main topics. Thanks to No5 chambers for hosting.

@LeicsFedChair @3rblaw I think you do a little more than that!! Team effort.

@wmpfcaplo @J_Simner_Lawyer It can come at anytime!! But not me on call this weekend!

Despite being asked if I’m #oncall a number of times this week, nobody has jinxed me yet. Will it be a clear run through until Monday🤔 #pip @m_wardley @J_Simner_Lawyer #willitbewalbeoff

@chrisgthomas72 @wmpfcaplo Very welcome. Good team effort.

@sgtsamdobbs Great team effort all round.

Challenging Fed week just gone. On-call yielded two nights out of bed at Post Incident Procedure (excellently run, solidly supported by @m_wardley) assisting officers returning from traumatic incident. Then next night called to support officers negotiating with 16yr old in crisis

@fed_rep One of the best cops/Fed rep I have had the pleasure to work with. Best wishes Joe.

New challenge ahead for me! Temporary promotion to Sergeant working in the town I started my career in. I’m going to miss my residents but I needed a new challenge. 🔆

@ping4762 Wishing you all the best in your new role.

Work streams allocated today in our national board meeting… I am now the joint National Conduct & Performance lead for PFEW… huge challenge and steep learning curve… Can’t wait to get started and to work with our superb CAPLO’s throughout the country to support our members…

Very proud to be sponsoring the PFOA summer ball tonight. Looking forward to a good night.@pfoa_uk @strawpearce

@LeicesterPolFed @PFEW_Tiff Chuffed to bits to hear this news. A great person as well as a great advocate for Federation members. Congratulations Tiff.

Many congratulations to our Leicestershire Police colleague Tiff Lynch - @PFEW_Tiff - who has been elected to be Deputy Chair of the National Police Federation of England and Wales polfed.org/news/latest-ne…

@wmpfcaplo @strawpearce @J_Simner_Lawyer @PFEW_Tiff @PFEW_HQ @BanhamEsq @305petenight @WestMercPolFed @pfoa_uk Really enjoyed the session. Was good to meet the team at West Mercia Fed! Looking forward to working with you all.

Good day delivering #CPD for my team of conduct reps courtesy of @m_wardley @strawpearce @J_Simner_Lawyer & J Walbeoff. Covered variety of themes & sharing knowledge/ experiences bringing the teams together. @PFEW_Tiff @PFEW_HQ @BanhamEsq @305petenight @WestMercPolFed @pfoa_uk

@wmpfcaplo @strawpearce Hoping for a quiet one - looks like BBQ weather!

Caplo back #oncall over the weekend with @strawpearce looking after us if needed.

Our team will be expanding again very soon - watch this space!

Following on from @J_Simner_Lawyer earlier tweet, I am very pleased to confirm that @J_Simner_Lawyer and James Walbeoff have joined Straw and Pearce. Our aim is to provide a first class legal service to police officers and Federation representatives.
