Head of Estates - Kent Police

Strategy

The current strategy outlines the creation of an accessible and cost effective “hub” portfolio which meets the needs of agile and modern policing.

Strategic Principles

• Operational effectiveness will not be compromised by the estate programme

• New builds will be completed sequentially to mitigate the impact on operational effectiveness whilst minimising any borrowing requirement • A sequential programme provides a legitimate review process at each juncture against modern policing and financial challenges • Revenue savings will be sought in both new builds and the existing estate • New builds will be designed and located to achieve the maximum possible operational effectiveness with due consideration for partnership working collaboration and future environmental challenges • The concept of agile working will be adopted whenever appropriate to maximise usage of workspace • A visible estate footprint and access to services will be retained within each district where visible public facing police estate is sold • Capital receipts from the sale of existing estate to be realised as soon as possible subject to operational feasibility
