Knife Crime Vs Stop & Search, Some Numbers (London Edition)

Reading Time: < 1 minute In a few days time I should have a set of figures telling us exactly what the size of the Knife Crime problem is across England and Wales.  While I’m waiting for the last few miscreants to remember to send me some data, or protest that they don’t have a Knife Crime problem, I thought […]

HMIC Are Pissing Me Right Off

Reading Time: 2 minutes Is it just me? I have spent a lot of time this morning trying to work out if HMIC are biased or simply naive. In their latest contender for the Booker Prize they have ‘found’ that several Police Forces need to improve. Three police forces in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have failed to adequately investigate crime

Doing More With Less

Reading Time: 2 minutes Never forget that we have to do more with less, it is the en vogue diktat. Speak to any Police Officer, Doctor, Nurse etc and they will tell you how they are doing more. How do we know that they are doing it with less though?  Because the government tells us? Not exactly. The latest

A Small Dose Of Reality

Reading Time: 3 minutes Now that the euphoria following Gidiot’s Spending Review and Autumn Statement has subsided, I thought it was a good time to remind ourselves of a few stark facts. Osborne announced on Wednesday that there would be no further cuts to the Police Service, and don’t get me wrong, that is undoubtedly good news, I don’t

I Feel So Much Safer Now

Reading Time: < 1 minute NOT I have just read Peter Kirkham’s most excellent post, and rather than paraphrase or précis it, I recommend that you read it here. All I can say in response is that the government have not made me feel any safer at all.  We’re going to keep both of our new Aircraft Carriers. Oh goody.

Misleading Parliament

Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve had enough, I’m getting even angrier.  Apart from anything else there seems to be no justice in this country at the moment and we certainly don’t seem to be living in a Democracy at the moment. Two years ago three Police Officers were threatened with being charged with Contempt of Parliament because it was

The Paradox That Is Policing

Reading Time: 2 minutes Or should that be The Hypocrisy That Is Politics? First we get Camoron and Cruella cutting our find Police Service deeper than anybody ever thought possible, with the promise of more to come.  If Policing was the victim of violence you’d be considering turning off the Life Support Machine. Compare this with the very same

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Motion:- That this House notes with concern the loss of 17,000 police officers in the last five years; further notes the most recent Police Recorded Crime statistics, which show sharp rises in some of the more serious crimes including knife crime and sexual assault and that, alongside evidence that some crime is rising, there

The Front Line Has Been Protected (Trust Me)

Reading Time: < 1 minute Just another quickie from me today, as the Bishop said to the Actress. In Mar 2010 there were 223 Chief Officers in the 43 Forces, in March 2010 there were 201, a reduction of 22, or just under 10%. In the same period Superintendents, Chief Superindents numbered 1,502 in 2010, reduced to 1,157 in 2015,

Policemen (& Women) Don’t Prevent Crime

Reading Time: < 1 minute So says Sara Thornton, top Johnny at the National Police Chiefs Council. Well I’m not going to take up much of your time today, just a little bit longer than it takes to say “Bollocks”. What I will concede is that it isn’t easy to quantify the amount of crime that a Police Officer prevents
