Today I was invited to the Unison Police and Justice Conference in Cardiff. I addressed the morning rally on the steps of City Hall and then later on spoke at a session with Yvette Cooper and David Hanson. We’ll need to make sure that police staff are properly valued and engaged in the work of the service.  Staff still don’t know whether they’ll be employees of the Commissioner or the Chief Constable and Damian Green is refusing to be clear about it yet.  So it’s one of many issues with which an incoming Commissioner will have to grapple.
