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, […]

Policing in England and Wales: A Journey Towards Positive Change

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Rise of Community Policing In recent years, policing in England and Wales has undergone a significant transformation. The traditional approach of law enforcement has evolved into a more community-oriented style of policing.

Police Uplift Programme The Final Chapter

Reading Time: 3 minutes Apologies for the delay, but I appear to have survived moving this blog site to another host, so off we go.   Just over a month ago, at the end of March, the Police Uplift Programme reached its end.  Its intention was to add 20,000 extra officers to the world of Policing in England and Wales.

To Crust Or Not To Crust?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Those of you who know me will know by now that I can be a bit ‘crusty’ at times.  I don’t often suffer fools gladly and whilst reluctantly acceptant of change, I’m definitely NOT a fan of ‘Change for Change’s Sake’, which we seem to witness far too often in the world of Policing, which

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

It Is NOT All About Crime Home Secretary

Reading Time: 3 minutes How much longer is it going to take you to get it into your stubborn head that Policing is NOT all about Crime?

Gidiot’s Friday Quickie

Reading Time: < 1 minute Osborne does it again, he really does have a total contempt for ‘ordinary’ folk. George Osborne is to start selling the state’s £32bn stake in Royal Bank of Scotland at a loss, telling a City audience that delay would be bad for the economy, taxpayer and bank. I know it was Gordon Brown who bought

Give Bullying The Boot

Reading Time: 2 minutes Let’s be honest bullying of any sort has no place in modern society, I don’t think very many would disagree with that’s. The irony is that many who vow to stamp out bullying are, in fact, some of the biggest bullies themselves. I was having an e-chat yesterday with somebody yesterday and we agreed that

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
