  8. Employer SupportedPolicing A National Partnership Scheme between Employers and Hampshire Constabulary

  9. Employer Supported Policing Originated as ‘Shopwatch’ in Camden • Employers recognised the need for local Policing needs to be met. • Employer Supported Special Constables could be ‘guaranteed’ to be deployed locally. • Residual benefits of staff development through volunteering.

  10. How does ESP work? Businesses decide how much support they can afford to give their employees in their work as Specials. Moral Support Recruiting talks/events Posters/Screensavers Use of training facilities Paid Time Off Discretionary/Emergency Leave Flexibility

  11. Who Benefits? Employers • Confident, customer focused and well motivated staff who feel valued by their employer. • Positive evidence of commitment to corporate social responsibility, which can be marketed. • Contribution to reducing crime and the fear of crime in the vicinity of the business. For retailers, this certainly positively affects the shopping experience.

  12. Who Benefits? Employees • Boosting personal development & confidence, providing opportunities to gain CV – enhancing evidence. • The opportunity to become, or stay, involved in a rewarding and voluntary role is made easier to balance alongside their normal paid employment.

  13. Who Benefits? The Police • A pool of voluntary neighbourhood police officers who are likely to enjoy longer careers as Specials thanks to the support of their employer and can be rapidly deployed in times of emergency. • Closer communication links with businesses.

  14. Who Benefits? The Public • Special Constables are local people providing a policing service to the communities in which they live and work. • The reassurance that local voluntary police officers are supporting the regular Police to protect their neighbourhood is invaluable in improving satisfaction and confidence.

  15. Who Else Has ESP? • West Quay Southampton • Gunwharf Quays • Festival Place Basingstoke • ASDA – 11 Stores in Hampshire • Waitrose - 11 Stores in Hampshire • Hampshire County Council • Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service • BAA Security at Southampton Airport • Hampshire Constabulary • University of Winchester

  16. So, how do I start? • Employers decide on the level of ESP engagement and sign a Partnership Agreement. • Employees who are interested in becoming a Special apply in the normal way. Recruitment events will be arranged.

  17. How Much Commitment Do I Need to Make? Well, first of all, let’s ask a different question: Why do you want to engage with ESP in the first place? What do you, as an employer want to get out of ESP? How much support are you empowered to provide? How much support will the business bear?

  18. Can I Call on an ESP Supported Special Directly? • No. In the sense that you can’t call them on their mobile phone! • When Police assistance is required, you must still call the Police Control Room. • However, because ESP Specials are deployed locally, the Control Room will send the nearest available local unit …… which will be the Special!

  19. Community Safety Accreditation Scheme
