This Troubles Me

Reading Time: 2 minutes In fact, this troubles me greatly. THREE years ago 5 Metropolitan Police Officers stopped a motor vehicle containing a couple of athletes. I have previously written about this here and here.   The actions of the officers were scrutinised TWICE by officers from Professional Standards and nothing untoward was identified. The then Commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, […]

Will The Last One Out Please Turn Off The Lights – UK PLC Is Heading For The Badlands

Reading Time: 3 minutes As a devout cynic I shuddered mightily when the announcement, followed by the reality, that we were going to (and have done) lose 17,500 Police Officers under Dave Camoron’s ‘Reforms’.

Is Theresa May Completely Out Of Touch With Everybody?

Reading Time: 4 minutes Have her advisers and researchers let her down? Is she poorly briefed? Maybe she just knows better than everybody else and we have yet to realise that. Maybe she is rigidly toeing the Party Line and doing & saying just what Mr Camoron tells her to do and say. One thing that is for certain

What On Earth Has Happened To Professional Standards?

Reading Time: 5 minutes It’s a question I’ve posed before, but I’ve just read a book, The Crocodile Court, which is basically about a West Midlands Police Sergeant who falls foul of the discipline system and what happens after that.  I’ll not spoil it too much in case you want to read it. Let’s be honest, Professional Standards, or
