This is true Lee, and having met and had a beer/wine with Gavin, I can assure you Peter he’s not anti police. Being slightly more emotionally detached is prob a good way to conduct analysis...

Absolutely agree... But I think you'll find Hales fundamentally disagrees with you...
-
Gavin appears to have demonstrated a closed mind which is not the slightest bit helpful to a balanced and fair debate
-
Basis for that claim?

If it helps, you'll find most of what I've written over the past 4 years here: http://www.police-foundation.org.uk/author/gavin-hales/ … One particular ommission being: http://whatworks.college.police.uk/Research/Documents/150317_Chief_officer_misconduct_FINAL_%20REPORT.pdf …

See my last Brian re the Wood Green fatal shooting early yesterday morning.

You’re spot on. SNTs could potentially have prevented the London Bridge terrorist attack - neighbour described how the ringleader was asking questions about hiring a van without a credit card & being “over-friendly”. He may have mentioned it to local officers if there’d been any.
-
Manchester attacker too... (ironically in exactly the area the Insp spoke about neighbourhood policing cuts in at Fed conference a few years ago)

The stats for the Front Line reducing year on year are publicly available in govt archives, plus people SEE fewer and fewer copspic.twitter.com/j6EpY9i7Mv

Didn't this shower of a government recently spew out some figures suggesting that under their stewardship the % of front line officers has gone up.

I think they did try to claim they were 'protecting the front line'
-
They do it consistently... They quote PERCENTAGES rather than NUMBERS to mislead the public! 75% of 200 cops on frontline is 150 actual cops. 80% of 150 cops on frontline after 25% cuts is, er, 120 actual cops - higher percentage but fewer cops... They do it S&S arrest rates too!
