WBS wins new contract
Latest press releasesWarwick Business School has won a major contract to work in partnership with the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) to design, develop and deliver a new Masters and Diploma programme in Police Leadership and Management, which forms part of the NPIA's High Potential Development Scheme for the police. This means that cohorts of at least 50 police per year will come to study at Warwick over the next 9 years.
HPDS is a national programme run by the National Policing Improvement Agency, (NPIA) to develop the next generation of police leaders.
A group of 84 officers, selected from over 200 nominated applicants, comprising police constables and sergeants from 34 police forces, are the first to begin their training under the revised High Potential Development Scheme (HPDS). This will take place both at Warwick and at the Police Training College at Bramshill.
John Benington, emeritus professor of public policy and management at Warwick Business School, and academic director for the HPDS programme, said "Warwick Business School is delighted to have won the contract to contribute to this innovative programme, working in close partnership with the NPIA, Bramshill and leading police forces throughout England and Wales. The police are at the front-line of tackling some of the most critical problems facing the UK, both globally and locally, and Warwick is pleased to help with the further development of those with high potential for top leadership roles in the police for the future."
Warwick is the UK's leading Business School in the field of public management and policy, and also runs a prestigious MPA (public sector MBA) and several other diploma and masters programmes in partnership with bodies like the National School of Government, the NCVO, the Local Government Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
Chief Constable Peter Neyroud, Chief Executive of the NPIA, said: "The police service asked us to make revising and implementing HPDS one of our top priorities and we have delivered.
"The scheme is intended as a 'tough to get on, tough to stay on' programme, which will be deliberately challenging. Not all police officers will progress to the final stage although every officer who takes part in the programme will benefit from the training and development they receive, which will ultimately benefit policing and the public we serve."
HPDS is the first initiative to be delivered under the police leadership strategy, Leading Policing, which was produced by the NPIA following an extensive national debate within the service.
Police forces are working with the NPIA in identifying high potential officers early in their career for the revised HPDS. Those who enter the scheme will develop the operational policing knowledge and business skills required to fulfil demanding senior leadership roles. HPDS will complement wider efforts by the NPIA, police forces and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary to develop police leaders in a range of specialist, supervisory and senior roles.
Peter Fahy, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police and ACPO lead on Leadership, said: "We are making real progress in addressing the issues the service identified during its national debate on leadership. While more needs to be done, the launch of the revised HPDS reflects the effort and investment that is being put into developing future police leaders."
