Crime department rotationThe Police Association has recently become aware of the This means that the some of the most experienced, skilled and loyal inspectors and senior-sergeants within the crime department will be relocated against their will to other investigative areas. This management practice only serves to disenfranchise the most experienced and respected members of the crime department. It is very clear that the Victoria Police Force is intent on managing its police members within a climate of intimidation and fear. The Force has failed to consider the morale lowering effects of this rotation model. It has also failed to consider the implications of rotating members who posses a wealth of skill, knowledge and expertise in their current positions. The Police Association vehemently opposes the Force’s rotation model and has lodged a dispute with the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. The Force has already introduced its mobility model to senior-sergeants within a number of regions. The latest plan to also subject members of the crime department to this unfair and ill-conceived practice arouses the Association’s long-held suspicions that the Force’s plans to introduce a mobility model are widespread. For members, this means you could be rotated from your current work location at any time. On Wednesday 28 May, The Police Association will be conducting a meeting of ALL senior sergeants to discuss how to prevent the Force’s implementation of this policy. Members who are concerned about how the policy will affect them and their colleagues are encouraged to attend. 11am Wednesday 28 May 2008 Dallas Brooks Hall
