The HMIC has stated that most case files submitted for court are substandard. They inspected 40 files and only 3 were adequately summarised. Apparently officers ‘do not fully understand their role in taking cases to court’. The report is calling for an ‘urgent review’ of police training in legal procedures and that training would help ‘streamline’ … Continue reading →

In an interview in the Guardian, Maxwell talks about the abuse he received from his colleagues relating to his race and sexuality. He is a black gay male who was dismissed for gross misconduct in December 2012 after … 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.

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 →

The second part of the low down of my year of blogs. The first part was a mixed bag – and the second quarter is no different. Let the public see complaints against the Police looked at if we had to declare every single complaint of officers, including those that aren’t substantiated, then this would … Continue reading →

So the Met received 23million pounds in ‘Corporate Sponsorship over 5 years. Is that a surprise? Perhaps if we were given the resources to fund everything we needed we wouldn’t have to get ‘sponsored’. I don’t know of one Police Force that doesn’t have ‘sponsorship’ of some kind. Yes, we are talking bikes, cars, posters, … Continue reading →

BBC News – Do cop shows tell the truth about policing?. Interestingly, I have had quite a few people say to me ‘That isn’t how it’s done on the television’, or ‘Is what they show on the television really true? Well No. Lets face it – it’s nothing like it – even the ‘reality’ programmes … Continue reading →
