Knife Crime Vs Stop & Search, Some Numbers (London Edition)

Reading Time: < 1 minute In a few days time I should have a set of figures telling us exactly what the size of the Knife Crime problem is across England and Wales.  While I’m waiting for the last few miscreants to remember to send me some data, or protest that they don’t have a Knife Crime problem, I thought […]

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

Stop And Search – A Different Truth

Reading Time: 2 minutes I am indebted to @kathryn_gale for tweeting a photo on Monday.  Without her tweet I would most definitely have missed it, as the Daily Fail is not high on my reading list.  The article contains what I consider to be a bombshell allegation that Theresa May may have told the odd Melton Mowbray whilst participating

You Know You’re Old And Crusty When…….

Reading Time: 3 minutes Someone suggests that you might need Refresher Training for Stop and Search. Stop and Search SHOULD be taught in Basic Training and I’d be absolutely amazed if it isn’t, it’s a Bread and Butter tool of Policing, but it does need to be understood and not abused.  It is within the abilities of EVERY Police

To Stop Or Not To Stop – The PCC’s Answer

Reading Time: 2 minutes After my earlier post on Stop/Search I forwarded a copy of it to Adam Simmonds, the Northamptonshire PCC.  To be honest I didn’t expect a response, but to be fair, he engaged with me on the open medium of Twatter and offered his explanation and referred me to the relevant report on his website. Reproduced

To Stop Or Not To Stop, That Is The Question

Reading Time: 2 minutes I saw and read a whole load of ‘stuff’ yesterday about Stop and Search.  Some of it was, quite frankly, bollocks in my opinion, much of it was supportive and well-intentioned.  A very small percentage was just plain lunacy. I’ll leave you to work out which was which. It all started of with Adam Simmonds,

Was It April Fools Day Yesterday?

Reading Time: 4 minutes I was absolutely stunned at the amount of total bolleaux in the British Press yesterday in relation to Policing. It was so bad that I actually find it difficult to put it in an order of “badness”. a) We have the two bold headlines in The Independent; Black people still far more likely to be

#DoingItRight

Reading Time: 3 minutes It sounds boring.  “What has it got to do with me?” Doing it right is an excellent piece of advice and becomes more relevant by the day. Policing is under attack from any number of directions. High Profile cases are being lost at Court that really should have been won. Cruella and friends are constantly

Home Secretary – PLEASE Listen To The News

Reading Time: 3 minutes Today I shall be polite, I will even say please. I seem to have lost track completely of the number of news items, Tweets, Facebook entries etc etc that relate to Stabbings, Shootings Murders, and Seizure of Bladed Articles that have sprung up in just the last few weeks.  It is an incredible number, or
