The Demise of Democracy – Tory Style

Reading Time: 4 minutes The slow death of the Police Service and other Public Services cannot be denied, however that is linked to something equally, or far more, important, the death of Democracy itself. Those of you who have followed my posts for some time will not need reminding that over a period of time Policing, and other Public […]

Reform

Reading Time: < 1 minute No, not the legendary Think Tank, but Police Reform. Where are we with Police Reform?  Quite honestly I’ve had enough of hearing about it, and I’m somewhat bemused by it. In 2010 we were introduced to Reform because it was a necessary part of the Austerity Programme, the Police Service needed to be ‘Reformed’ to

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’. That was bad enough and I don’t need to go over old ground, we have all seen the reality, the constant ‘Crying Wolf’, Cuts do

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

Don’t Let Apathy And Despondency Win

Reading Time: 3 minutes Those of you who know me in my real life will know that I have never backed away from a fight with Management, even when it was blindingly obvious that I was destined to lose.  When I have seen injustice and unfairness or something else that wasn’t quite right, particularly in my latter years, I

Come On Cruella – Explain It To Us

Reading Time: 2 minutes Ii have heard many eloquent people highlighting the problems faced by Police and Public alike caused by the government’s reckless policy of repeatedly cutting the Police Budget.

It Has Never Been A Better Time To Be A Volunteer

Reading Time: 4 minutes It’s Official. Be a Volunteer. Loads of opportunities.  Never be Bored and Fed Up again.  Let’s take a look and see some of the opportunities Volunteering has to offer. Territorial Army – OK I know it’s not Voluntary Work in the accepted sense, but I’m sure you get my drift.  “They have sometimes been dismissed
