Who on earth in their right mind figured that a ‘slap on the wrist’ for someone who had committed serious … Continue reading →

The primary role of the police is to prevent crime, not catch criminals, Tom Winsor, the chief inspector of constabulary for England and Wales has said. Tom Winsor said focusing on would-be offenders, likely victims and potential crime hotspots would save taxpayers’ money and keep more people safe. But “primitive” technology is limiting officers’ ability … Continue reading →

The Met saw criticism for ‘massaging’ crime figures for sexual assault. Crime Figures have always been a hot potato and you know as well as I do, that certain crimes can be deemed as priority, volume or whatever, and it has been a widespread practice to ‘massage’, but there is a big difference between massaging and falsifying … Continue reading →

October 2012 saw the Plebgate incident which is still going on, but ‘Let those who judge be judged’ was about senior officers and politicians who discipline lower ranked officers, but who in fact have been dishonest themselves, or committed offences or cover ups. Accountability is the key, and the question of how can someone discipline … Continue reading →
