Now police are ordered to pay convicts for giving advice on fighting crime

Police forces have been ordered to ask convicts to give them advice on fighting crime.
Criminals can join new groups.

The idea is that the panels act as ‘critical friends’, offering guidance on how local police are seen by the people they serve.
It is also claimed that by consulting over future operations - such as raids - the groups can tackle the ‘distrust of the police service endemic in certain minority communities’.

The Association of Chief Police Officers has told forces to advertise for volunteers - and added that criminals are welcome to apply.
The guidance states that there should be a ‘presumption in favour of appointing the applicant’.
They can even continue as advisers if they are caught committing a crime while serving on one of the panels, the document adds.

Some members are allowed access to confidential police intelligence, and will have to sign the Official Secrets Act.
The Tories have warned that although the scheme is intended to bolster confidence in the police, it could have the opposite effect.
Shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve said: ‘There are some criminals who, because of the gravity of their past offending or the ongoing risk they present, should not be permitted to sit on these groups to avoid damaging public confidence.

‘It is far from clear how this very general advice will be implemented in practice, both to avoid harming the trust of local communities and protecting the confidentiality of police investigations.’
The guidance also states that there is an argument for not vetting any applicants.
Reasons given include the fact ‘the Gypsy Traveller Community may not have permanent or previous addresses for any vetting to be conducted’ and the fear of offending the ‘transgender community’.

It states: ‘There could be reluctance to reveal information about their previous identity, or current identity, that could jeopardise their privacy.’
However, the document concludes that some security checks should, in fact, take place.

A spokesman for Acpo said that criminals on the advisory boards would be vetted and screened.
She added that they would not have access to the Police National Computer. 

(oh yeah? )

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
