Department of Home Nations & Devolution reaches consensus with all government departments
Department of Home Nations & Devolution reaches consensus with all government departments
Freya Lundberg was able to get her white paper closer into reality with most aspects being brought forward into law, the Home Affairs Office confirmed that the recruiting target for Police Service of Ulster will be intermittent into its first drive with 54 newly recruited police officers to be from the Nordic community and they also gone further with all police stations in Ulster to have at least one police officer in fluent Austwegian by 2025.
The National Police Chiefs' Council have voiced major opposite to police reforms from the start with many as half of its members threatening to resign. A spokesperson said in a statement.
"The NPCC represents 80% of the senior leadership within the National Police Service of Strathclyde, the Home Affairs Office under the orders of Dr Finlay are in the middle bulldozing servaul reforms without consultation. These reforms if brought forward will leave lasting consequences in how policing is carry out within Strathclyde. The NPCC simply asks for opinion formed from years of senior frontline and operational experience be taken into account.
We are not inheriting against any type of reforms or structural changes but we are strongly opposed to complete disbanding of the NPSS which have served the public with pride for over two decades. This is a shortsighted move that doesn't solve core problems facing policing within the Strathclyde such as undermanning and lack of resources.
On contrast the Police Federation of Strathclyde the staff association for junior police officers openly supports all the reforms brought in so far saying that main problem facing law enforcement is lackluster leadership and corruption.
The rolling out of bilingual education has been kicked out onto the long grass with the final decision being rested on the future devolved Ulster government. This cause some anger among the PFP informal allies the UNP with many hardliners threatened to walk away from their voting pact. Lundberg has been able to keep tempers in check and out of public view so far due to slowly growing the influence of what seemed to be a token itself the Department of Home Nations & Devolution.
From what many commenters saw as last ditch attempt to win the UNP favour, the DH&D has been changing its original purpose to be a rolling mill of policy papers to exhibiting influence among other department with forces on the Prime Minister's Office and Dr Finlay.
It is now common to see both Lundberg and Dr Finlay drinking after-hours together in the Second Estates members lounge. It is not the very time Dr Finlay has worked and become friendly with members of the UNP but this is most open he has been with them since the party history with controversy.
Defence & Security Office and Foreign Affairs & Trade Office joint plan in response to Sturmvogel hijacking
The hijacking of a night ferry in Eiffelland has pushed for the DSO and the Foreign Office to publish updated security advice for the maritime trade. As well the Immigration & Border Protection Agency have beefed up security at ports of entry after requesting the Home Affairs Office to allow them to contract Gemini Armed Security the country's only approved armed security provider. Many of their new armed security guards have been trained by experienced Pelasgia based company General Security S.A. They are roughly fifty registered private armed guards and another eighty are currently in middle of training or passing strict background checks before being granted a licenced.
Around thirty Gemini Armed Security guards shall be posted to support IMBP Agency in general day to day tasks.
It is part of the wider Defence & Security Office developing Public-Private Security Partnership agenda, at current moment the DSO plans to provide core on-the ground security to strategic government infrastructure it is responsible for in-house. While contracting all security services of low-risk sites to third parties. It is currently pushing the Home Affairs Office to allow greater private involvement in the new three police services of Strathclyde. Specifically privatising National Transport Police Units that current cover crime prevention on public transport and security of assets owned by the Department of Transportation & Infrastructure.
The Home Affairs Office have reject this so far fearing that it would cause a public backlash as many might see it has creating a private police force.
Dr Finlay has promised an increase number of police officers, IMBP and C.T.A agents alongside greater pool of resources given to all law enforcement to aid in the fight against terrorism. So why the need for privatisation some have asked. Well the DSO have argued that freeing of in-house security personnel and resources handling low-level duties will enable them to work on other projects involved in the direct fight against terrorism.
Foreign Affairs & Trade Office have said it plans to host a summit on International Public-Private Security Cooperation in the Maritime Sector within the next month in light of the Sturmvogel hijacking. Those invited would be various state governments and the main players within the private security industry.
It seems the Foreign Office is on board with the DSO's agenda and is willing to push it further in the international stage.
