Transformative Policies and Infrastructure Strengthening Towards the Police Era 4.0

Police transformation policy to carry out community security functions is very adaptive in addressing the changing times. The research aims to map the transformation and strengthening of police infrastructure in response to the era of digitalization. The research uses a qualitative type of research with a literature study approach and policy analysis programmed by the Police. The results showed that the transformation policy consisting of organizational transformation, operation transformation, public service transformation, and supervise transformation is needed by the Police, especially in the current digital transition. Moreover, it can be carried out correctly if the Police have internally and externally owned by POLRI. The research concludes that transformative efforts and strengthening of police infrastructure strongly support the duties and functions of the National Police in securing the community.

Getting Ireland Moving for World Cancer Day 2018

Background and context: World Cancer Day (WCD) aims to increase awareness and empower individuals to reduce their risk of cancer. Each year in Ireland approximately 800 new cancer cases and 300 cancer deaths are due to obesity. Aim: For WCD the Irish National Cancer Control Program (NCCP) aimed to increase public awareness of the risk of cancer due to obesity and the protective link with physical activity. Behavioral action was encouraged by partnering with parkrun ( www.parkrun.ie , a national free running event) to encourage participants to bring a friend and spread the cancer prevention message. Strategy/Tactics: A single overarching message was established: bring a friend to parkrun on the 3rd February for World Cancer Day. Two target audiences were identified: - General public watching Operation Transformation a national interactive TV program supporting weight loss and encouraging health behaviors - parkrun participants. Program/Policy process: Campaign activities were planned in conjunction with parkrun and HSE communications: - Digital assets designed - Press release issued to local and national media - Partner pack with key messages, social assets, campaign activity and supporting evidence disseminated to statutory bodies, NGOs and charities - NCCP cancer expert feature on Operation Transformation - Social media campaign @HSELive and @parkrunIE - Articles in parkrun newsletter prior to WCD - Announcements at parkrun events around the country prior to WCD - Communication to health service staff. Outcomes: On the 3rd February 10,169 individuals participated in parkrun, coordinated by 1153 volunteers. Cancer prevention and survivorship articles were published in 3 parkrun newsletters. #WorldCancerDay posts reached 39,000 on parkrun Facebook and 33,700 on parkrun Twitter. HSE paid Facebook posts reached 375,861 with a high level of engagement. Unpaid posts reached 5458. Tweets issued had a total reach of over 280,000. Parkrun directors provided the following feedback: “I think it was a great success - the engagement on social media both through parkrun Ireland and through the local event social media was brilliant.” “I think all the local events had at least one post on #WorldCancerDay during that time and most had had more and the feedback was uniformly positive, a couple of the parkruns (notably Dundalk parkrun) invited local cancer support groups to the event as well and in Dundalk´s case they actually gave a little talk before the event which was well received.” What was learned: - Inclusion of digital images for partners to share on social media was an integral element of the partner pack. - Straightforward message with a call to action built on an existing initiative with a broad reach across the country. - At the time of the campaign there was a large amount of national media coverage of Operation Transformation, impacting on space for media coverage. In the future consider a more local approach.

Occupational Therapy embraces the National #Littlethings mental health and wellbeing campaign in Offaly via an Operation Transformation Programme

Purpose In early 2015, an Occupational Therapy led Operation Transformation healthy eating and exercise programme produced results suggestive of the value and need to promote and integrate physical activity interventions into mental health services. Design/methodology/approach In all, 41 clients with various mental illness diagnoses participated in the eight-week Operation Transformation programme. The outcome measures involved weekly weigh-ins and an end of programme evaluation form. Findings The quantifiable benefits – a total weight loss of nine stone ten and a half pounds – were mirrored in equally impressive qualitative impacts. Participants’ feedback via anonymous evaluation forms, echoed the findings of the articles appraised in the literature, including improvements in mood and energy levels, better sleep and increased motivation. Practical implications The organisers will benefit from lessons learned in this first experience, including overcoming logistical and organisational difficulties experienced in enabling clients’ full participation. Originality/value The evidence base points to the successful benefits of physical activity in promoting positive mental health. Occupational Therapists have a unique opportunity to drive forward the message of promoting physical activity via meaningful occupations.
