The presentation of stage two transfers

Whilst this sounds like something organised by the Football Association, many will now know this is a process embedded in the new arrangements for police service governance. The APCC produced a helpful summary of some of the issues involved a while back which includes this paragraph:

The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act (the Act) which creates PCCs also sets out a second  Stage 2’ transfer which refers to the subsequent movement of certain staff, property, rights and  liabilities from the PCC to the chief constable. The stage 2 transfer is designed to allow elected PCCs the freedom to make their own local arrangements about how their functions and those of the police force will be discharged in future. In establishing these local arrangements PCCs will wish to clarify with their chief constable who will employ which staff, hold which properties, liabilities and assets etc.

There is more information here as well. All PCCs and Chief Constables should by now have submitted their agreed plans to the Home Secretary. She will now review them.

I imagine the information will emerge soon as what the pattern is across England & Wales. What I am hoping for is to see it represented in this way:

	Contract of employment with PCC	Contract of employment with CC
Directed/managed by PCC	??	??
Directed/managed by CC	??	??
Jointly directed/managed by PCC & CC	??	??
Directed/managed by CC but with specified & agreed influence by PCC	??	??
Directed/managed by PCC but with specified & agreed influence by CC	??	??

This will not only provide useful comparisons across the country but also, I believe, clarity for the staff involved.

What do you think?
