Policies
Our policies outline the parameters within which officers and staff will act to achieve the Force’s aims. They outline what is expected in a variety of situations and why. When dealing with incidents, officers and staff will be expected to exercise initiative, professionalism, and common sense. Activities governed by legislation are not normally replicated in Force policy.
Our current policies are listed below by department, are reviewed on a continual basis and updated here accordingly.
