To Crust Or Not To Crust……..

Those of you who know me will know by now that I can be a bit ‘crusty’ at times.  I don’t often suffer fools gladly and whilst reluctantly acceptant of change, I’m definitely NOT a fan of ‘Change for Change’s …

Police Uplift Programme, Graduate Entry – Successes And Failures

Yet again I find myself having to start a post with an admission that I expected to be writing something slightly different. The first set of data that I got from NPCC was accompanied by this graphic. Fig 1 represents …

Policing Is Not A Chumocracy

Policing Is Not A Chumocracy

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 …

Time To Kick The Home Office (Metaphorically)

Time To Kick The Home Office (Metaphorically)

A short while ago I found some Met stats that enabled me to quantify the number of weapons that had been recovered as an Unintended Consequence of a Stop/Search for Drugs. The data was well hidden, but it was there. …

Those Pesky Drugs Stops

Before I begin, I need to make it clear that anything you read here only applies to the Metropolitan Police District, the rest of you can read on, or go back to sleep, up to you. Following on from my …

Degree Or No Degree, That Is The Question

By RetiredAndAngry Posted on June 23, 2022 Posted in Graduate Entry, IPLDP, Police Uplift Programme, Policing No Comments
Degree Or No Degree, That Is The Question

The Disproportionate Use of Stop And Search (In London)

Now that isn’t a headline you expected to see from me I’m sure. Don’t panic, normal service will be resumed. It’s more a question than a statement, and I hope to be able to answer it for London at least. …

Stating The Bleedin’ Obvious

Those of you who follow this blog regularly will no doubt have noticed something a little unexpected about it. The College of Policing are pushing the ‘new’, ‘better’ Entry Routes above the more traditional Initial Police Learning and Development Programme …
