The Police Federation of England and Wales has launched Operation Peridot to reset the organisation.
It said Operation Peridot had been launched to reset the organisation after recovery from years of internal challenges. It seeks to strengthen representation, modernise governance and rebuild trust with more than 145,000 members, and policing partners and the public, said the organisation.
The Federation said it will use Operation Peridot to embrace a broader, evidence-based approach that campaigns on the issues that matter to both officers and public. It said that means shining a light on the working conditions on the ground, pay and financial hardship, while offering practical solutions rooted in frontline experience. At the same time, the Federation will reform its own governance, finances and culture to earn trust and ensure it is professional, transparent and fit for purpose.
Mukund Krishna, CEO of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said:
“This is the start of a new chapter: resetting the Federation with purpose, professionalism, and a commitment to rebuilding trust in both the Federation and policing itself.
“The Federation of two years ago faced challenges that were decades in the making and had deep roots in inefficiency, poor cultures and bad decisions. We have carried out the major surgery needed to keep the Federation delivering for its members and now we move from repair into reform: with new leadership, independent scrutiny and a clear roadmap for change.
“Operation Peridot is about outward reform and delivery. We will be judged on what we deliver for our 145,000+ members and for the public.”
