Content from FORS has also been described as enormously beneficial in the CVU\u2019s understanding of operators\u2019 obligations.<\/p>\n<p>The CVU is also looking to integrate more FORS content into its own training material. As part of this, five Response Sergeants from the Met\u2019s CVU will complete the full FORS Practitioner programme, a series of ten individual modules covering all aspects of fleet management. Meanwhile, Sergeant Alex Burlison of the Met\u2019s CVU, will undertake the 15-module FORS Advanced Practitioner programme.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ote.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/met-police-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-66650812\" src=\"https:\/\/ote.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/met-police-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>Sergeant Burlison said: \u201cOf course, our responsibility for roadside enforcement is crucial but we\u2019re also becoming increasingly focused on education and engagement with hauliers. Transport Managers\u2019 roles are so much more than mere compliance and FORS has really helped us appreciate the many and varied aspects of running a successful fleet operation. I think we\u2019re all buying into the FORS best practice mindset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to build better relations with all commercial vehicle operators and our Toolbox Talks not only deliver on a training level, but they also provide a platform for operators to feedback. We\u2019re receiving calls from hauliers every day requesting more Toolbox Talks and more engagement, and FORS is helping to ensure we\u2019re all singing from the same hymn sheet. Through its training portfolio, FORS provides a truly comprehensive knowledge base, and it\u2019s apparent that commercial vehicle operators are engaging with FORS directly. So, it makes sense for us to be part of the narrative. Undoubtedly, we\u2019re fostering better relations with hauliers, and I think the perception of the Met Police is also improving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Met Police reports greater engagement with hauliers following FORS training Officers from Met\u2019s Commercial Vehicle Unit set to achieve esteemed FORS Practitioner status Police service focused on engagement and education over enforcement \u201cI think we\u2019re all buying into the FORS best practice mindset\u2026\u201d Sergeant Alex Burlison FORS, the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme, has teamed up &#8230; <a title=\"Met Police boosts haulier engagement with industry-leading FORS training\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/2024\/06\/met-police-boosts-haulier-engagement-with-industry-leading-fors-training\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Met Police boosts haulier engagement with industry-leading FORS training\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":["default"],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66650478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Met Police boosts haulier engagement with industry-leading FORS training - FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/2024\/06\/met-police-boosts-haulier-engagement-with-industry-leading-fors-training\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Met Police boosts haulier engagement with industry-leading FORS training - FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Met Police reports greater engagement with hauliers following FORS training Officers from Met\u2019s Commercial Vehicle Unit set to achieve esteemed FORS Practitioner status Police service focused on engagement and education over enforcement \u201cI think we\u2019re all buying into the FORS best practice mindset\u2026\u201d Sergeant Alex Burlison FORS, the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme, has teamed up ...
