The landscape of policing is evolving, and so must our approach to maintaining public trust and accountability. In a groundbreaking collaboration, In-Form Consult and Pagefreezer are spearheading a campaign to transform the online behaviour and culture within UK police forces. Operation Hotton’s revelations of discrimination, misogyny, harassment, and bullying involving officers at Charing Cross Police Station have illuminated the urgent need for change. Our joint initiative harnesses In-Form Consult’s Information Management prowess and Pagefreezer’s cutting-edge archiving platform to pave the way for a more accountable and responsible digital presence among officers.

Fostering Awareness and Accountability

The advent of digital technology calls for innovative solutions. Pagefreezer’s platform will play a pivotal role in archiving officers’ online interactions. By creating a transparent record of digital activities, we ensure that accountability is embedded in every keystroke. Officers will understand that their online behaviour has real consequences, urging them to uphold ethical standards even in the digital realm.

Empowering Officers through Education

Education is paramount in the journey towards change. Our campaign is committed  to providing officers with the tools they need to navigate social media responsibility. Through online ethics workshops, officers will gain insights into what constitutes ethical behaviour online. Real- world scenarios will enable them to apply these learnings practically, fostering a sense of empowerment and responsibility.

Driving Cultural Transformation 

Transforming culture requires concerted efforts. With the collaboration of police leadership, we’re advocating for responsible online behaviour as a cornerstone of professionalism. Diversity and inclusion seminars will address toxic masculinity, discrimination, and misogyny, promoting a more inclusive and respectful digital environment. This cultural shift is essential in nurturing an atmosphere where officers feel confident to challenge and report improper online behaviour.

Archiving for Accountability

Collaborative Policy Enhancement 

In collaboration with law enforcement agencies, we’re committed to reviewing and updating policies related to online behaviour. Clear guidelines and consequences for misconduct will be established, reflecting the ever-evolving digital landscape. A comprehensive Code of Online Conduct will be developed, emphasising accountability and responsibility for officers’ online behaviour.
