Summary
"This report presents findings from exploratory research that was conducted
during 2010/11 by NPIA (National Policing Improvement Agency) Research,
Analysis and Information Unit (RAI). The research was commissioned by the
National College of Police Leadership (NCPL) in response to Key Performance
Indicator (KPI) 16 of the NPIA 2010/11 Business plan: ‘demonstrate through
working with candidates and Police Authorities a reported improvement in
readiness and quality of ACPO candidates in preparation to deliver subsequent
appropriate improvements’. The intention was that this initial exploratory
research could inform more rigorous future evaluation of NPIA leadership
development services and longer term progress against the key performance
indicator." -- Page 2.
