Hitherto, the acknowledged convention was that operational policing and politics should be kept apart. The doctrine of operational independence appears to have been firmly endorsed by the recent Police Foundation Structural Review but it failed to mention a High Court judgement, which challenged this ruling. (See R v Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire Police, 2017). This judgement, in making the PCC responsible for all operational policing activity, questions the tradition of constabulary independence. This is clearly an issue that requires further testing in the courts (Loveday, 2018 Policing Commentary 24/3/2022 Feature, Opinion Talking Crime with Danny Shaw: Andy Marsh Chief Executive Officer, College of Policing PolicingTV 24/3/2022 Feature, Interview, Opinion, Video Schools ‘not told of teacher abuse claims’ by Police Scotland Police Scotland has been accused of an “appalling” disregard for child protection by refusing to tell schools when teachers are under investigation.

Home Office 24/3/2022 News Understanding the Workload of Police Investigators: A Human Factors Approach Criminal investigative work entails a diverse array of tasks and responsibilities, ranging from interviewing suspects and victims to managing the paperwork and necessary follow-ups for each case. The present study sought to evaluate the workload and workload impacts of police investigators in a metropolitan police agency. The NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), a well-established human factor measure of workload, was administered on 759 investigators as a quantitative measure of workload. Subsequently, 49 investigators participated in focus group discussions to provide deeper insight into their workload experiences. The results indicate that police investigators reported a markedly high level of workload when compared to similar human factor studies in the literature. Findings of the focus group discussions attributed the perceived high workload to various contributors such as operational challenges, dealing with the public and external agencies, as well as organisational challenges. Interventions to manage the heavy workload were discussed. The human factors approach can be a suggested approach to understand the task load of police officers.

Law Enforcement Officers’ Attitudes About Armed Teacher Policies in the USA Active shooter events, including those in K-12 schools in the USA, continue to occur. In an effort to protect students, faculty, and staff, several states have implemented policies allowing teachers to be armed while on school premises, with more expected to follow suit. While recent research surveys the general public, school administrators, and policing executives (from a single state) regarding their perceptions of armed teacher policies, there is a dearth of literature that examines the issue from the law enforcement community’s perspective. The present study utilizes a nationwide survey of law enforcement officers, collected in 2020, that encompass a wide variety of job duties, agency types/sizes, and types of communities served. We find widespread support for armed teacher policies; however, respondents expressed a desire for additional training for teachers to better prepare them to respond to an active shooter event. Additional implications for policymakers and school administrators considering this policy are offered.
