ABOUT PolFIG
PolFIG's role is three-fold:
Advise ACPO on National Income Generation Guidance for use by all 43 police forces and recognised associated forces such as British Transport Police (BTP).
Provide a Forum for self-help and problem solving to Income Generation and Business Management peers
Provide an easy access point for businesses and sponsors to make nationwide forces aware of income generation opportunities
ACPO GUIDANCE
PolFIG has access to the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) through the ACPO Lead for Income Generation who sits on the ACPO Finance & Resources Committee. PolFIG develops guidance to ACPO through the delivery of the ACPO Guide to Income Generation for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (pdf), which is revised on a bi-yearly cycle. The current version was revised in 2010 and due to enter a revision cycle next in 2012.
FORUM FOR SELF HELP
PolFIG acts as a forum for identifying and sharing expertise and best practice in Income Generation and informs, advises and stimulates debate within ACPO, the Home Office and other policy making bodies to help develop and drive national policy. PolFIG members interact with other subject matter experts inside and outside the organisation, delivering immediate access assistance when required by other peers and colleagues.
BUSINESS & SPONSOR ACCESS POINT
The PolFIG organisation provides an easy access point for businesses who wish to undertake dealings with all forces, perhaps exercising their corporate social responsibility in a policing environment. PolFIG will assist delivery of a common message to all forces, through the PolFIG delivery structure.
STATUTORY ENABLING ACTS
The enabling statutes for Income Generation, are lodged within the 1996 Police Act and Local Authorities (Goods and Services) Act 1970 (supply of goods and services by local authorities). The Police Act provides 5 main Sections which support activities, which are:
Section 18 - Supply of Goods and Services (Trading)
Section 24 - Mutual Aid to other Police Forces (Mutual Aid)
Section 25 - Special Police Services (Cost Recovery)
Section 92 - Grants by Local Authorities
Section 93 - Donations and Sponsorship (Sponsorship)
PolFIG STRUCTURE
PolFIG is structured into regions, which elect a Regional Representative to the National PolFIG Committee. Each region meets on a quarterly basis, discussing local force developments, regional issues and initiatives, the previous National meeting and proposals for the next National meeting consideration. These meetings normally rotate between force locations and are often well attended.
The National Committee meetings are held quarterly and rotate to different locations around the country. Each Regional representative delivers a regional status, participates in National discussion, issues and initiatives and has input into the national ACPO Guidance. On an annual basis, the National Committee holds a national conference over a two day period, with topical Income Generation and Business Management themes.
