Who Gives A Toss About #KnifeCrime?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Who Gives A Toss About #KnifeCrime?  Well, I do, but I’m not sure that our politicians really do care. It will come as no surprise to most of you that I care about it, and my chosen vehicle for heightening awareness is the Knife Angel. I ‘dug’ into it, found out what it was all […]

Does The Home Secretary (Sorry Prime Minister) Have Blood On Her Hands?

Reading Time: 5 minutes The answer to this, I think, very much depends on your opinion of Stop and Search. It is controversial, undoubtedly, but is it legitimate? Is it effective? Is it necessary? Once upon a time, in 2014, Theresa May, as Home Secretary, instructed the Police Service of England and Wales to reduce their use of Stop

Knife Crime – A Faux-Academic’s View

Reading Time: 3 minutes I confess, I have never been an ‘academic’, I left school with two A Levels and a Jamboree Bag. In truth, I’m never likely to be an academic either. I have had three jobs since leaving school, and every one of them involved being a practitioner of one kind or another. I’m not intimidated by

It IS All About The Numbers

Reading Time: < 1 minute I never thought I would be writing a post about the snow. However it has served to highlight the effect on Policing of factors outside of Crime. For the second time in a few months it is snowing. Some parts of the country are getting it bad. The thing that has attracted my attention and

Reading Time: 2 minutes Like many of you I noticed that Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey had been awarded a Knighthood in the New Years Honours List. Like a few of you I actually thought “what the **** did he get that for?” Now I know the answer. This morning I stumbled upon this Met Police Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey has been

Smoke And Mirrors Par Excellence

Reading Time: 5 minutes Ladies and gentlemen you have been treated to a display of Smoke and Mirrors the likes of which is seldom seen in civilised society. The Aurora Borealis  is a poor second cousin, it is an illusion that David Copperfield or Penn and Teller would be immensely proud of, and rightly so. We have lived through

How Long Before The Government Destruction Of The British Police Service Is Complete?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Wow, that is some headline. Do I really mean it? On reflection I believe that I do. Isn’t it a bit OTT?  No, I don’t think it is. I actually believe that this government, driven by Cameron and May initially, and now May and Rudd have systematically plotted the destruction of the British Police Service

The Finest Police Force In The World

Reading Time: 3 minutes Or it was at least, and it gives me absolutely no pleasure to write these words. When I joined the Met a million years ago in 1972 the old sweats took delight in telling me that I was now part of the finest Police Force in the world, they were referring to the Met of

Crisis? Wot Crisis?

Reading Time: 2 minutes I am no Economist. Domestic or International, I am not your man. However, I do like to think that  I can recognise a crisis when I  see one. The Police Service is most definitely an organisation in crisis.  Leaves have been cancelled, and by that I mean that PC Jones has been  told that he/she
