The Association of Chief Police Officers, officially The Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, was established in 1948[1] It was a not-for-profit private limited company that for many years led the development of policing practices in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

ACPO provided a forum for chief police officers to share ideas and coordinate their strategic operational responses, and advised government in matters such as terrorist attacks and civil emergencies. ACPO coordinated national police operations, major investigations, cross-border policing, and joint law enforcement. ACPO designated Senior Investigative Officers for major investigations and appointed officers to head ACPO units specialising in various areas of policing and crime reduction.

Leadership

ACPO was led by Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde who was, until 2009, the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). He was elected as president by fellow members of ACPO in April 2009.[2]

Criticism

ACPO was funded by Home Office grants, profits from commercial activities and contributions from the 44 police authorities in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.[3] Nevertheless, as a private company, it was exempt from FOIA requests.

Replacement

Following the Parker Review into ACPO, it was replaced in 2015 by a new body, the National Police Chiefs' Council, set up under a police collaboration agreement under Section 22A of the Police Act 1996.[4]

 

A Quote by Association of Chief Police Officers

PageQuoteDateSource
Operation Nicole“The initiative is specifically developed for Muslim communities and feedback during the event has helped to shape the exercise and its content. While we know that terrorism isn’t solely a problem for these communities, at this time the most significant threat to the UK comes from Al-Qaida groups or Al-Qaida influenced ideology who purport to act in the name of Islam. Therefore, counter terrorism operations can disproportionately affect members of Muslim communities.”March 2013Operation Nicole Factsheet
