Chief Constable Chris Haward has pledged his support to the Police Covenant which was recently enshrined in law as one of the new measures of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act.
He said: “This is a vitally important commitment to the care and wellbeing of our officers, staff and volunteers who do so much to keep everyone else safe, often at the expense of their own safety and health. “The Covenant is already starting to deliver on improving the physical protection and welfare of our police officers and staff who work so hard to keep us safe.
“The Covenant will strive to recognise the contribution of everyone who works in policing and provide them with a voice to influence the type of support they need now and into the future.” “I’m proud the College of Policing’s National Police Wellbeing Service, Oscar Kilo, will deliver many of the products offered through the Police Covenant.
