The national office has a staff complement of eight full-time and three part-time employees who are based at the Associations freehold premises in Fitzroy Square, London W1. Staff assist members in their duties and respond to work generated by the Associations Council, Standing Committees and Honorary Officers. Every day the staff handle letters, telephone calls, faxes and emails from members, government departments, the media and other key players in the criminal justice system, associated organisations, students and the general public. The extent of representation can be seen when glancing through a typical year in the national office diary.
