Police Digital Technology & Innovation restructure: 色狼社区consultation

Police Digital Technology & Innovation restructure: 色狼社区consultation

  18 October 2022

As you may be aware, DTI recently announced a restructure.

The Command claims a Change Management Plan is not necessary as they class the restructure as 鈥渕inor鈥� despite jobs being delisted, and major changes for staff.

The restructure has also been described as 鈥淧hase One鈥� in several pieces of internal documentation, and it is the PSA鈥檚 view that this piece-meal approach is an attempt to thwart a good-faith consultation process with staff and their union.

The 色狼社区has written to the Command asking for a full change management plan, listing the following issues:

  • This is considered 鈥淧hase One鈥� of a larger restructure
  • It fails to give a true indication of the proposed structure as there are missing components in both the current and proposed structures
  • Excludes several roles, eg; the Performance Manager, roles which report to this manager, etc
  • Deletes two senior female employees from roles, yet two male roles remain unaffected; this is particularly egregious in the STEM field.
  • A short timeframe for redeployment of redundant staff; roles are notoriously hard to fill over the Christmas break.
  • Major concerns that we share with our members that public servant positions are being replaced by unskilled Uniformed Police Officers.

We eagerly await a response from the Command.
