109. We continue to support the College in its work to improve leadership at all levels in policing, including the College’s new programmes for front line supervisors and tutor constables to support new officers. The forthcoming reforms to promotions and progression will help embed the new leadership standards, beginning at the front line. 110. It is clear that such an unprecedented surge in recruitment introduces a high number of new officers into policing. These new officers are welcome and are critical to supporting communities, tackling crime and building trust. They must be fully supported to fulfil their potential. The Police Uplift Programme worked with forces to ensure there was, and continues to be, sufficient tutor and assessor capacity so new officers get the training and support they need to thrive.
