Report
Pending the provision of a new purpose-built Police and Fire Headquarters, the Home Affairs Committee has identified an urgent need to temporarily relocate Police services to the former Summerland factory site and to take action to provide adequate accommodation and training facilities for the States of Jersey Fire Service on a temporary basis on the Rouge Bouillon site.
Phase One of the scheme, shown in the drawing, is to move elements of Police Headquarters from the Rouge Bouillon to the Summerland site, thereby allowing the Fire Service to occupy the office space vacated. Police vehicles and equipment will be removed from the adjoining yard, allowing the Fire Service training area to better comply with health and safety legislation. The site congestion caused by co-locating the Police and Fire Services gives grave concerns in relation to the safety of service personnel and the public. The accommodation for a 24-hour operation is inadequate in many areas - office, dormitory, toilet, shower and changing areas - with no room for expansion. There is also inadequate garaging for fire appliances and equipment. Moreover, the current position causes operational difficulties to both services.
The temporary relocation of some policing services to the Summerland site will allow many of these problems to be addressed. It will enable the whole of the Crime Services Section of the Police Force to be housed together, and facilitate the removal of certain crime investigation units from Piquet House, allowing the vacant office space to be made available to the Home Affairs Department, the Police Authority and the Police Complaints Authority at no additional capital cost.
This proposition has no implications for the manpower resources of the States.
