Detectives in Crisis campaign
Morale is at rock bottom and resilience in this critical role in policing is a real issue. The workloads and types of cases detective officers get involved in are harrowing to say the least, all too often having a detrimental effect on their health, wellbeing and family life.
‘Detectives in Crisis’ aims to raise awareness of the current state of detective policing in England and Wales - we are asking senior officers and PCCs to look at this role within their force area to better support officers and to try to redress the balance.
