I have spoken at length about this white paper and reforms ever since it was announced. There is nothing good to take from this so called new style of policing and reforms. This is a complete and total takeover and ideology reset. The very thing that once worked with our police forces was the human touch of bobbies on the beat, police stations where you could go in to log a complaint or report a crime, the fact that the police practised common sense around what was serious and what was just a couple of silly kids being naughty. I remember telling my son that the policeman was coming to get him when he was naughty. Can you imagine today’s kids who are making off with people’s mobile phones and Rolex watches by knifepoint on stolen mopeds being scared of that threat? I’ve seen men with just eat and uber eats back packs going into supermarkets and taken the entire alcohol section and walking off with it whilst the staff including security guards stand by and look on paralysed by fear. All of the CCTV that we currently have is not stopping girls and women and the vulnerable being raped and murdered and attacked is it? It appears to me that the only thing this level of surveillance is good for is motorist crimes and to impose fines. Every kind of violent crime is on the increase and I personally believe that a massive reason for that is that our judiciary are compromised. They allow pedophiles and rapists to walk free whilst imprisoning ordinary citizens for their point of view. Why not drop this ridiculous gimmick and overreach and get back to basics? Bring back robust stands in policing. Drop this dreadful and useless DEI nonsense and make sure every potential candidate to policing has a certain level of fitness, knows combat training, can pass a certain level on examination in common sense and intellect and knows what signs to look for with regards to all sorts of crimes, check for behaviours and evidence, gain forensic experience and knowledge about grooming and sexual exploitation, terrorism, burglary, robberies, gang crime. There is so much more to a police officer than purely being able to check a security camera and issue a fine surely??
Yeah the face they now call themselves a “Police Service” rather than “Police Force” says it all.
Farage also says he will up physical criteria for being a cop. Which it needs. They get out of breath many of them crossing a road they are not fit to be policemen. (and I have never thought women should be on the front line for their sake (and their colleagues) as well as ours,
It’s nothing shameful to acknowledge that women are physically weaker than men.
Precisely!!! Most of the current police are extremely short, very overweight and out of puff crossing a road like you say. I mean who would run from them? It’s embarrassing and it’s not working. That’s why around 25 officers turn up to arrest one elderly man or woman these days and probably let one of the reasons why they don’t ever confront real crime going on right in front of their eyes by young and strong looking out of control migrant men. How many videos have we all seen of them standing back while a migrant man sets a police van on fire or charge through city centres with machetes and swords? I agree that women should in no way be fighting on the front line alongside men. We are all physically capable differently and a woman has many different assets to offer rather than facing violence head on. I had no idea that they are now known as the police service either. That is an absolute joke. All of these stupid gimmicky slogans and jargon changing does NOT improve them!!

Thank you for your comment.
