Because of what I used to be, I read a lot of police blogs. Written by police officers here in UK and some overseas countries. There is a common trend amongst the UK writings. Very little police work is being done out on the front line, where Dr Martin size 12s are the latest gear. Yes, there are plenty of police officers but their numbers are diluted by those who are in admin, planning, training, this, that, the other. Such work as does occur is done in a manner that does not inspire confidence and must be less than motivating for the officer concerned. The Gov'mint persists on loading new initiatives with little thought as to practical matters. Courtroom-less justice is one of the latest comedies of errors that will involved police staff and time already in short supply.
The overseas contributers do not seem to have the same concerns. What one sees there are positive attempts to do what, surely, we expect of our crime control organisations.
It's all going to end in tears before bedtime if our police, in a language they invented, throw Teddy into the corner.
