      When they get a retired chief superintendent, who runs a private company providing police-replacement patrols for £100+ VAT per household, to criticise the police, you do wonder how objective the programme is.

      Over a million crimes not investigated is actually, if you listen carefully, “not fully investigated”. Some worrying cases & some admissions of failings but this is rationing of police services because there is too much crime & not enough police officers. Downward spiral.

          Where do you stand on the correlation between the slump in stop and search and the surge in violent street crime?

          Correlation is between reduction/disappearance of visible police presence on the street & criminals thinking they're not going to get caught. Plus youngsters not feeling safe as a result and arming themselves. Accurate stop/search relies on community intel, which is drying up.

          You need evidence of reductions in community policing/visible policing? I've talked to young people and ex-offenders and they tell me a) they feel less safe without community officers so they carry b) stop/search ineffective as they hide weapons in bushes/give to girlfriends etc.

          You claimed the rise in violent crime was due to other factors and s+s is only effective through directed intelligence. Please quantify.

          A lack of s/s doesn’t cause violence. S/s based on knowledge of who is carrying (because community tells you who is carrying, where & when) is obviously more effective than random or even suspicion. People feeling they have to protect themselves instead of relying on police = ⬆️

          So what you’re saying is the years of policing that kept Britain’s streets safe were bunk? All I see is that as politicians have demonised and marginalised the practice streets have become a killing zone

          No, that’s was the conclusion you came to before I even answered you. Properly targeted stop & search is a valuable tool in keeping our streets safe, provided we work with communities & have enough officer time to build relationships & allow officers to be proactive.

          10 years ago, if there was a series of offences in a short time, community officers or crime squad would mount an operation to catch them in the act. Little or no proactive capability now. Sadly, in many cases there are no witnesses, no CCTV, no forensics, so nothing can be done.

          Quite - plus the crimes are subject to a primary investigation by the reporting officer; eg the met screening tool runs through questions designed to identify whether there are any leads (or ever likely to be), victim willing, public interest, etc. That’s investigating.

          Given the state of policing in London would you consider another run as Mayor? You’ll have my family’s vote!

          And police forces now asking people now to submit electronic reports only to be closed within hours by a computer algorithm. #dispatches #LawlessBritain
