Episode 3.4: Worryingly Low Promotion Success Rates PFEW Article

Rank Success: Police Promotion and Leadership Podcast

In S3E4, I give my thoughts on the recent article published by the Police Federation about 'worryingly low promotion success rates down to a lack of learning time during work'. They point out how around only 1 in 6 of their survey respondents were successful in promotion last year, demonstrating how brutally.competitive promotion processes are. The key angle the PFEW take is protected learning time, especially for the exam (which you'll find I've blogged on before). But the real competition begins when competing with other officers for substantive positions.

I discuss the ins and outs of this article, the ramifications on promotion processes across the country, and how you can better navigate the minefield. I also explore what's on the horizon and recent changes by the College of Policing; for example, consider the fact they're already mooting a new police promotion framework for officers within the Federated ranks, to replace NPPF, provisionally called the Sergeant and Inspector Promotion Process (SIPP).

It's good to see the Fed now taking an interest in the professional aspirations and leadership CPD of their members. As always, I offer an open invite to any Federation to provide entirely FREE promotion and leadership support seminars for their members, either locally or at the extensive national conference facilities. Just get in touch to arrange.

As a coach/mentor supporting police promotion candidates across the UK and beyond, I aim to provide valuable and meaningful insights to help you succeed in promotion; especially those aspiring to Sergeant, Inspector and Chief Inspector. I hope you find this podcast helpful leadership CPD. Please 'pass the ladder down' and share with colleagues to support their leadership development too. As always, I welcome your thoughts/feedback.
