BIBA’s Third Phase: 2003-2005 - As BIBA enters its 10th year of operation, the need for a New Direction emerges. The first phase of BIBA’s activities, that is the first seven years (1994-2001), was mainly about Marketing & Promotion”. The second phase, the last two years (2001-2003) was dominated by “Prospects for the Economy and Social Responsibilities”.

For the third phase (2003-2005), BIBA would like to concentrate on Management issues. The UK economy offers ample opportunities for growth with its vast investment in education and professional infrastructure. There is a general feeling that, for BIBA members to gain the extra efficiency, they ought to improve their management styles as well as marketing.
Perhaps this could be considered a further sign of membership confidence and maturity.
Hence BIBA has organised a series of Q&A seminars on Effective Management, for 2003 beginning with its 110th business meeting which was on Thursday 30th October 2003 and is now followed by the next scheduled meeting of Thursday 27th November 2003.

“Being a Police Officer, working as a Liaison Officer for the Special Crime Directory, I act as an interpreter helping Persian families. The role has helped me feel that I am giving something back to the community, putting a stop to crime whilst putting a smile on peoples faces.” Click here to see the full details.

PC Homan Forouzan

“Joining the police was my childhood dream and I get a lot of satisfaction out of the role I play on a daily basis in helping the people in need and bringing those who commit crime to justice.

I wouldn’t do anything else”.”

PC Mehdi Taheri

“As a PCSO I am the face of the Met, a role that has been a real eye opener! The atmosphere in the team I work with is excellent and the job has been a real challenge. By patrolling my local streets, I get to know the community and help to reduce the amount of drug crime in the area.”

PCSO Sarah Hamidi

“I wanted to join a large organisation with a diverse working community, something that the Met has provided me with. Working within Policy and Appeal, my role is very much consultation and research driven.

It is the variety and flexibility that I really love about my role.”
