National Register of Armed Policing Recommendations

11. Under the leadership of Chief Constable of Civil Nuclear Constabulary, Simon Chesterman, the National Armed Policing Portfolio Lead (NAPP) has introduced a structured Organisational Learning Process. It incorporates lessons identified from IOPC reports, from Inquests' prevention of future death reports statutory inquiries concerning fatal police shootings and, where relevant, operational debriefs, reviews and exercises. The Process links to the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles (JESIP) and Counter Terrorism Organisational Learning Processes. Revised guidance for Armed Policing Strategic Threat and Risk Assessments (APSTRAs) will include the requirement for Chief Officers to be accountable for organisational learning processes. 12. The National Armed Policing Portfolio will be responsible for continuing to embed and monitor this process.

The National Armed Policing lead will hold the register of recommendations on behalf of National Police Chiefs Council. The College of Policing is represented on the organisational learning board, introduced by the NPCC lead for armed policing, which manages the national register for all recommendations. This will ensure that the learning identified can be quickly reflected in the College’s authorised professional practice (APP) and national police firearms training curriculum (NPFTC).
