Policing Is Not A Chumocracy

Reading Time: 3 minutes Apologies for yet one more post this week, but a simple post on Twitter this morning has potentially revealed something unsavoury and unwelcome. It started with this, a heartfelt post from a retired Met Detective Inspector. I endorsed it without hesitation as I could instantly relate to it. Even before I retired (almost 20 years […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes According to Sir Richard Mayne The primary object of an efficient police is the prevention of crime: the next that of detection and punishment of offenders if crime is committed. … The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions According to the House of Lords (Lord

More Smoke And Mirrors

Reading Time: 5 minutes Knife Crime. Who is to blame? Certainly anyone carrying or wielding a knife without a reasonable excuse or lawful authority is to blame. Government silliness might make you think that Teachers or the NHS are to blame for failing to report crimes or suspicions to the Police. What a load of cobblers. You can agree

Your Country Needs You (Like Never Before)

Reading Time: 4 minutes There surely cannot be a person over the age of 14 or so who is still unaware of the seemingly uncontrollable epidemic of stabbings and Knife Crime sweeping the country. Not one person surely? In London alone there is a knife-related murder or serious stabbing almost every day. Only recently a young teenage kid was

Police Pay Pensions and Conditions – It All Makes Sense Now

Reading Time: 2 minutes But I still don’t agree with it. Correct me if I’m wrong but the first major changes came with Tom Winsor’s ‘Independent’ Reviews. Instead of being able to retire on a full pension after 30 years service ‘Tom’ recommended increasing retirement age to 60 for a full pension. The Pension Scheme itself was changed from

Police League Tables

Reading Time: 3 minutes Not quite the League Tables you might have been expecting though. Since 2010 it should be no surprise to anyone that approx 21,000 Police Officers have been culled from the overall strength of the Police Forces of England and Wales.

Taxi For Mrs May

Reading Time: 2 minutes Call me old-fashioned but it is clearly time for Theresa May to go. She has made a complete Horlicks (mustn’t swear apparently) of the Brexit negotiations. Her own party are turning against her in ever-increasing numbers, she has no credibility left in the eyes of many. My own personal opinion is that she is determined

Who Co-Ordinates The Co-Ordinators?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Mustn’t swear, honestly, but yesterday provided me with a  true WTF moment. Following the recent visit of that nice Mr Trump to the UK, it became obvious via news and Social Media, plus personal observations on the M40, that many Police Officers had been deployed on Mutual Aid to assist with the Policing and Security

The State of Policing 2018

Reading Time: 2 minutes Fortuitously there has just been a release of Police Manpower (sorry, I still call it that, no offence intended) and the latest Crime Data for England and Wales. Much has been made of these latest figures both in the Press and on Social Media.  This Crime has gone up by this percentage and all that
