Description

Interview with Mr Stanley Bailey, Chief Constable of Northumbria Police, who talks about his job and how he tries to achieve a consensus in the context of consultation and the Police Authority. How he welcomes a cross-fertilisation of views and ideas and a change of people over the years with a balancing of community and police expectations. He comments on the Police Authorities' powers and suggests they should not impose control, but need to have information to give advice. He speaks about the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and community policing.
This interview is followed by an interview with Mr Chambers, Deputy Chief Constable of Northumbria. He speaks about his role, the future and computerisation. He speaks about his involvement with Complaints Board and how to handle allegations and procedures.
