TICKETS are still available for the Essex Police Federation Open Meeting, where officers will have the chance to quiz the new Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh on his plans.<\/p>\n
The meeting will take place at 7pm on Wednesday 8 May at the Anglia Ruskin University.<\/p>\n
Mark Smith, chairman of Essex Police Federation, said the meeting would offer a great chance to hear the new chief constable\u2019s vision for the force.<\/p>\n
As well as the new chief, members will also be able to put questions to the Essex police and crime commissioner Nick Alston.<\/p>\n
The format of the meeting has changed slightly following feedback from last year.<\/p>\n
Mr Smith will offer a short introduction, followed by a ten-minute introduction from Mr Kavanagh.<\/p>\n
Mr Kavanagh, currently a deputy assistant commissioner at the Metropolitan Police Service, will replace Chief Constable Jim Barker-McCardle, on 3 May.<\/p>\n
Mr Smith said: \u201cWe have a new chief and we look forward to listening to what his short and long term plans are for the force.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could be a new start for Essex. We need some stability to move forwards and make Essex the great force that it was.\u201d<\/p>\n
All federated members are invited to attend but need tickets, which are available in the Federation office for \u00a35. Officers will receive a refund of \u00a315 on the night, giving them \u00a310 to spend on refreshments on the way home. There will be no food or bar provided this time.<\/p>\n
You can either call in to the office yourself or contact a local rep to obtain a ticket. There are 400 tickets and when they have gone they have gone, the venue will not hold any more.<\/p>\n
