An Open Letter To Rt Hon Theresa May MP and Rt Hon Amber Rudd MP

Reading Time: 4 minutes Mesdames, I truly hope that what I have to say is not, and will not be viewed as, a knee-jerk reaction to a single hiccup in process.  It most certainly is not. Most recently there has been the case of Anthony Long, a retired Authorised Firearms Officer with the Metropolitan Police, who was recently acquitted […]

How Much Does A Police Recruit Earn?  Please Remind Me

Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m a wee bit out of touch but the last I heard was that they were being paid about £22-£23k with a recommendation from the Tom and Theresa Show that they should be paid £19k.  Those figures might be slightly out of kilter but you’ll get the gist of it. So you will be able

I’m Telling You Nuffink Rozzer

Reading Time: < 1 minute Some time ago, you may remember, I posed the question whether it was approriate that one of our more northerly PCCs paid the ACPO membership fees. http://retiredandangry.thisistap.com/2016/05/24/tory-pcc-expenses-foi-raise-their-ugly-heads-again/ I got a very fuzzy reply from the PCC concerned, that it was all a mistake and had come out of the wrong budget, still hasn’t been replaced

The Independent Police Complaints Commission

Reading Time: 2 minutes Or are they?  Independent I mean. Yesterday they casually released three tweets to the world which ignited a pure shitstorm on Twitter and Facebook. We have issued an apology regarding the Edric Kennedy-Macfoy case. Our full statement: https://t.co/F9zf3JQvEp — Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) (@policeconduct) July 27, 2016 Edric Kennedy-Macfoy statement: Following shortfalls being

Lies, Damn Lies and Police Crime Figures

Reading Time: < 1 minute Sorry to resume from my vacation with a swear word but I’m absolutely pissed off with the politically correct bollocks being spouted about Crime Levels. According to the latst publication Police Recorded Crime is UP by 8%.  This is glibly discounted by Improved Crime Recording Procedures, therefore we don’t have to do anything about it. The

Nepotism Or Not Nepotism?

Reading Time: 3 minutes That is the question…… Some of you will know that I was going to stand for the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia until Call Me Dave and the Cabinet Office tilted the playing field against Independent candidates. Many of you will know that I subsequently applied for the position of Deputy Police and

None So Blind As Those Who Do Not Want To See

Reading Time: 2 minutes Apologies to any and all visually impaired, the title is in no way a dig at your good selves.  It is very much a dig at the Establishment and Main Stream Media that cannot see what is right in front of their eyes. The BBC News ran a lengthy item about how the French Police are

Reform

Reading Time: < 1 minute No, not the legendary Think Tank, but Police Reform. Where are we with Police Reform?  Quite honestly I’ve had enough of hearing about it, and I’m somewhat bemused by it. In 2010 we were introduced to Reform because it was a necessary part of the Austerity Programme, the Police Service needed to be ‘Reformed’ to

Is This A Strange Way To Record Accounts/Expenses?

Reading Time: 2 minutes During the run-up to the recent Police And Crime Commissioner Elections I noticed what I thought was a disparity in the incumbent North Yorkshire PCC’s published expenses. In 2013 it included an entry for >£10,000 for ACPO fees.  As PCCs are not members of ACPO so should not pay membership fees (Association of PCCs fees
