in the way the force The union representing police staff

has called for Humberside's replacement Chief Constable to take

staff concerns seriously, the day after Justin Curran

was removed from the top post. It comes as a damning survey

published by the Police and Crime Commissioner -

who asked Curran to step aside - reveals a lack of confidence

in the way the force Katy Austin has been following this

story and joins me now, 39% of staff responded

to this survey, carried out in September last year,

when Justine Curran Of those 67% - didn't have

confidence in chief officers and senior managers leading

Humberside Police 84% said changes within the force

managers weren't open or transparent 68% - didn't think Humberside Police

really good results but we don't see that same consistency throughout the

city. Scunthorpe residents are trying to keep their allotment

secure after suffering break-ins. There is a lot of crime in the area.

I want to see a new Chief Constable that engages with the workforce,

so it's not just about listening, it's about listening and taking

seriously the views of the workforce.

The Police and Crime Commissioner says they'll need to regain faith

relationship needs to be backed by the leadership of the force. Not

just more officers on the streets. -- communicator.

Inspectors then gave the force a rare inadequate rating,

and on their next visit said improvement was still needed.

Inspectors are due to release another report next week.

A leading police commentator says it could be bad news.

It could even explain why the PCC decided now was the right time

I understand he has been made aware of some of the criticisms, in

particular in the area of vulnerability. That is a major

aspect of his decision. Put all this against a background

of Government funding cuts, large staffing cuts and rising crime

- and it seems Humberside's new Chief Constable

has quite a job to do. So how do you recruit

a new Chief Constable? Well, Keith Hunter

is starting today. He's writing to all police officers

in the UK who might fit the job description,

telling them there's a vacancy. existing Chief Constables,

their deputies and assistants. round police magazines,

job advert websites, advertised abroad for a new Chief

Constable. As for how much the new chief

will earn - well, that's set nationally at around ?145,000

constable should do , Maybe want to comment on the staff

with campaigners claiming they are cruel and degrading.

Here are just a few of your responses.

Polly from Barton says "People who say it's not right

for the police to use these spitting hoods should spend a couple

of days with them, they'd soon change their minds.

It's disgusting and degrading, and the police shouldn't

Mark from Beverley adds "If do-gooders feel

a spit mask is degrading, see if they'd like to go to work

And finally from Dee in Lincoln: "I think we should consider

the use of spit guards in all public services.

asking what priorities for the new Chief Constable when they are

appointed in about four months' time. Interesting and a serving

officer. I pity the new Chief Constable as he or she will have an

extremely difficult job to reverse the disastrous decisions recently

made. This from a serving officer. Prime example is the new working

model which has seen rural communities practically left of the

own devices. However I served my committee as a police officer for 26

years and will continue to do my absolute best for them. The new

Chief Constable will have my support. This one from a text. Ring
