@K9memorialUk Outstanding dog, true protector of the public and @NCA_UK officers. Thank you Lex

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

Can’t believe its the last day of module 1 on #SCC2019 but we are finishing in style with Matt Jukes speaking this morning

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

Outstanding finish to the week at #SCC2019 with Kier Pritchard and Paul Mills discussing the leadership challenges of Salisbury and the last year.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

Thanks to colleagues @NCA_UK for hosting #SCC2019 yesterday. Great insight into the capabilities we share with law enforcement colleagues for use against serious organised crime.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

Big day on #SCC2019 - it’s the Multi-Agency Gold Incident Command (MAGIC) exercise, covering Civil Emergency planning. Really well supported by partner agencies, military and civil.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

First Gold Command exercise for the students - all drawing off the experience of each other, good learning as syndicates #SCC2019

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

It might be Friday of the first week but Policing and Mental Health has certainly got #SCC2019 sparking. Excellent session

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@changemanager2 the model is something delivered by a group called the Olivier Mythodrama, who use the story lines, the characters and the leadership archetypes from Shakespeare in order to explore the range of skills required by leaders and their preferred leadership style

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@changemanager2 Hello Lucy. As usual its a bit more complicated than that but its a great way to explore a range of leadership challenges and requirements.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

What type of leader are you? #SCC2019

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@neil_neilzone No it’s all Henry V today. Much more likely to die in battle

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

Day two and the SCC exploring leadership types through the power of Shakespeare #SCC2019

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@NCA_UK congratulations to the Intel Collection officers at awards today. Your work underpins NCA success in protecting the public

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@DaveNeal33 assume NCA not NSA. Test for all powers/techniques the same. Is it lawful, necessary and proportionate? No blanket answer.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@silkiecarlo @NCA_UK No intent stated - simply a response to a question.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@silkiecarlo @IanBrownOII @NCA_UK bit of a misquote. I said under current draft we would be able to request (not force). Slight difference

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@e3i5 Which is why law enforcement needs a range of techniques, since no single one (eg bank transactions) provides certainty.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@e3i5 ....if she bought the tickets herself. There are plenty of examples where bank transactions will not help.

[Chris Farrimond @NCA_ChrisF]

@e3i5 simply not the case. All enshrined in law, perfectly visible and overseen by independent Commissioners, as well as by the Courts
