Joint Consultative Committee

The NSW Police Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) is a committee made of Police management, É«ÀÇÉçÇøDepartmental Committee (DC) delegates and a É«ÀÇÉçÇøIndustrial Advocate.

The committee meets on a bi-monthly basis and discusses issues put forward by each of the groups who make up the committee.

The É«ÀÇÉçÇøworks for you in this forum by raising member concerns and consulting on changes affecting members.

The most recent JCC was on 13 August where the discussions included:

• Redeployment of Hurt On Duty Police Officers to SOCO positions in Forensic Services Group. NSW Police Force agreed that the Police Officer Redeployment to Administrative Officer Positions Policy would be followed.
• That Police is undertaking reviews of Operational Information Agency and Shared Services. Consultation with É«ÀÇÉçÇømembers will begin when the initial reviews are finalised.

Delegates

Nine É«ÀÇÉçÇødelegates from NSW Police Force recently took part in É«ÀÇÉçÇøtraining on supporting members with individual issues. Your local DC or workplace delegate should be your first port of call if you need advice or support.

The value of delegates in your workplace

The value of having a delegate in the workplace and working with É«ÀÇÉçÇøstaff to solve issues is invaluable due to delegates practical knowledge of what actually happens at the coal face.

An important issue for members in an area led to a good result because a É«ÀÇÉçÇødelegate was able to identify a serious training need for a group of members and negotiate a development opportunity for them. This will enable these members to perform their duties with greater confidence and heighten their ability to serve the community of NSW. This is a direct result of the delegate knowing the job and understanding the local work situation.

Delegates are often the main contact point for É«ÀÇÉçÇømembers, É«ÀÇÉçÇøIndustrial staff and Police management during negotiations around changes in the workplace. Their efforts enable the É«ÀÇÉçÇøto achieve the best possible outcome for members.

Please support your local delegate. If you don’t have one, please consider becoming a delegate or contact. É«ÀÇÉçÇøprovides training and support for delegates. You can contact É«ÀÇÉçÇøOrganiser, Heather Smith or your DC delegate for more information.
