I Seem To Be Errrrm……..Confused

Reading Time: 3 minutes It only seems like a moment ago that the Police were being criticised for the manner in which they investigated and recorded crimes and how they treated or regarded the victims of those crimes. There are any manner of ‘anti’ articles in the press, disclosures by officers, dodgy recording practices, unrealistic targets.  The whole thing […]

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

And A Happy New Year To You Too

Reading Time: < 1 minute It didn’t take long.  My first post of 2016 is back to questining an old chestnut from last year. All was going well, I was sitting quietly in the kitchen munching on my Coco Pops when it happened.  I happened upon a Tweet from Jack Dromey MP asserting (once more) that the Police should look

Some Thoughts On Some Thoughts

Reading Time: 3 minutes Some things just don’t go away, they hang around like an unwelcome guest, or the after effects of Brussel Sprout Soup. This last week or 10 days, whatever it is, has seen Direct Entry and Graduate Recruitment take centre stage. The WORST argument (in my opinion of course) in favour of Direct Entry Inspectors and

Thought For The Day

Reading Time: 3 minutes First and foremost my thoughts are with the victims  of yesterday’s terrible incident at Leytonstone, I hope they can all make a full recovery, and quickly. Before that however, I had already had a conversation on Twitter following on from this tweet of mine; https://twitter.com/alanw47/status/673072086903095296 My point was, and still is, that we should take

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

300

Reading Time: 3 minutes This is Sparta. If only, but it is about numbers, so if you don’t like numbers you’d best leave now. Firstly, the 300, but actually it’s closer to 500. Gideon’s announcement said that the government would now protect the Police, a complete U Turn, brought about, in no small way I’m sure, by his and

When The Politicians Are In Charge

Reading Time: 3 minutes Strange things happen. We used to have Police Authorities, even the Met had one eventually.  Then some bright spark at a well known Think Tank came up with PCCs.  Needless to say, most of the elected PCCs represent one political party or another, the Independents have a particularly hard time of it. My old friends
