Reading Time: 2 minutes Before I say/write anything more I want to be clear on one thing. There is no place in any Police Service, of any country, for ‘Sexual Predators’. None. I don’t think I can be much clearer. However, I have do have views on Sexual Predators IOPC and the Police Now, where was I? My good […]

Musings Of An Angry Dinosaur

Reading Time: 4 minutes This Angry Dinosaur has been Musing.  I don’t know about anybody else but I am reaching the point of no return with our current brand of politicians. It doesn’t seem to matter very much which party they represent , they’re all as bad as each other. In recent months we have seen, what appears to

David and Goliath

David (Warwickshire) Vs Goliath (West Mercia)

Reading Time: 5 minutes Forget #Brexit, this is much closer to home and just as gripping to some of us. Before I go any further, beacuase I’m a fair kind of person, I must point out the collaboration between Warwickshire and West Mercia Police Forces came into being in 2012, the present encumbent in West Mercia, my old adversary

To Double-Crew Or Not To Double-Crew?

Reading Time: 3 minutes That is, indeed, the question. To me the answer is an unequivocal YES.  In my mind there is no option, it doesn’t need thinking about, it’s a No Brainer. But then, my mind doesn’t always sync with everybody else’s. It occurs to me that it’s nearly half a century since my boots hit the streets

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.

Is It Time To Arm The British Police?

Reading Time: 3 minutes The question is really aimed at my former colleagues but please feel free to join in whoever you are. The world has changed after Paris 2015. First Charlie Ebdo and the accompanying attacks at the beginning of the year. Then, tragically, Friday the 13th. The events unfolding within the Bataclan Theatre must have been horrific
