Police Collaboration

Conference is extremely concerned at the Conservative Party policy of allowing Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to run Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs).

This policy is an attack on democracy at the corporate level of local Fire and Rescue Services and links the FRS with the Police far too closely which can cause real issues for firefighters on the frontline of our humanitarian service.

Therefore Conference demands that the Executive Council take all necessary steps to resist PCC takeovers and influence the Labour Party to produce a clear manifesto and work in Parliament to reverse the decision to allow PCCs to run FRSs
