The battle to turn us 'thick racist thugs' into touchy, feely types has come at a price.<br /><br />For all the negative 'anti-police' comments i read on here, i'm still happy with the reltionship i have with my public. I do my best as do a lot of others. <br /><br />I have had some good results against burglars, rogue traders and that ilk. On the flip side i have made some errors. I won't list them all, but it is sad that we are all condemned on the mistakes of a few.<br /><br />I have kept my friends outside the job and i hear of numerous tales of balls-ups in the private sector. Greed and poor service for the benefit of profit. <br /><br />I don't know the ins and outs of this case, i'm a northerner. I can relate to a similar experience as a young serviceman. My corporal and me were assigned to look after some offices on base. We walked round checking all doors and windows were shut. We got to one building and there was a huge pile of scaffolding, trailers and all sorts preventing us from getting to check a fire door. So we ignored it assuming it was safe and locked.<br /><br />Well, you can easily guess it wasn't and i had one of the biggest bollockings of my life and told to never let it happen again. It was a bad experience, but it taught me.<br /><br />I know people like their pound of flesh, but i hope those concerned learn from it. I'm all for culling public sector who don't perform, just not going to hold my breath for the bankers to set an example.<br /><br />And to all the anti-police, i'm sorry you feel that way. I wish i had the power, control and direction to do something about it. But i could not sell my soul to climb the ladder to the top. There are a lot of good people in the police, i will be sorry to leave them, but not sorry to leave the job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-13217405887033960112012-11-27T05:28:39.687+00:002012-11-27T05:28:39.687+00:00"1)The girls body was not in her home,it was ...<i>"1)The girls body was not in her home,it was in the grandmothers.<br /><br />The very place she was last seen alive.

Good to see the police utilising every resource available to them. If HOLMES2 is down, the tabloids will fill in the blanks I suppose.<br /><br /><i>1)The girls body was not in her home,it was in the grandmothers.</i><br /><br />The very place she was last seen alive. And according to Coppering 101, the FIRST place that should have been searched... very thoroughly.<br /><br /><i>2)The first two or three searches would have been cursory at best.</i><br /><br />Would have. Ermmm, don't you know? And why cursory? We all know the modern cop is more interested in a voyeuristic rifle through the girls/families personal processions than looking for an actual body or captive. Admit it, the cops spent longer checking out her Facebook page and phone messages than they did the house? Am I wrong?<br /><br /><i>3)The neighbour told police he had seen her leave the day she disappeared.</i><br /><br />Yeah, and if you were a cop (and I'm seriously doubting you are) you'd know there is more to this witness/statement than is commonly known at the moment. In any case, it was a single supposed sighting not corroborated by any other and in fact counter to witness/CCTV evidence demonstrating the opposite.<br /><br /><i>4)We have no power to search an address without a warrant or making an arrest.</i><br /><br />Absolute rubbish. First off, the police didn't need any powers... they merely had to ask permission of the householder. A refusal would have been suspicion enough to take further steps. And how cumbersome is it to obtain an entry warrant? The flippin gas man can get one without any problem. Are you saying the police cannot?<br /><br />Yet another indicator of how the police think/operate these days. They've forgotten they police with consent and most people will happily comply when asked. Instead the default position now is how can we force our will upon someone? Is there a law we can use, and if not how can we get one?<br /><br /><i>Of course they were paraded in front of the media,it's a police tactic to look for body language and inconsistencies in their stories.</i><br /><br />Or, the police could have searched the property top to bottom and have had the case wrapped up by teatime. Still, that would have ruined a damn good game of cops 'n' robbers wouldn't it?<br /><br /><i>But you are all kings of hindsight aren't you and none of you have ever made a mistake.</i><br /><br />Of course we are, that's the luxury of not being paid squillions of taxpayers money and then expected to produce results. Nor do we hold ourselves in such high self esteem, appearing often times to lord it over those we pretend to serve. <br /><br />It's not so much the police's actions but the attitude that is rubbing the public up the wrong way. And trust me, from our armchairs we have a much better read on this than the average cop on the beat and certainly none of those wearing uniforms dripping with buttons and braid have a clue.<br /><br /><i>PS It's Tom DALEY, a stupid comment and completely unrelated to this story.Please feel free to mention Hillsborough/Tomlinson/Duggan to make your point.</i><br /><br />I made the point very well which your juvenile response merely confirms.<br /><br />I stand corrected on my spelling and duly recognise your fully paid up membership of the spelling police.

If she was found the first time or the 100th time it made no odds to the case.Why not concentrate on the piece of scum that killed her instead of a minor mistake made by police?"</i><br /><br />A perfect example of the thought processes of the modern police force. Everything revolves around them; the rest of the Universe but a minor inconvenience to be ignored or dealt with under Section 5.<br /><br />As Julia points out above, the delay could well impact the trial. Even possibly leading to the accused being freed. The delays also allowed the accused/family opportunity to pointlessly parade themselves in front of the world's media. Innocent folk's homes were searched. Hundreds of hours of police time spent fruitlessly watching CCTV recordings. Thousands of man hours wasted searching everywhere the body wasn't.<br /><br />But of course none of this matters because your home wasn't turned upside down, you weren't questioned, your time wasn't wasted, you aren't paying the police overtime and accommodation bills.<br /><br />A minor mistake? Certainly, but one with real consequences. <br /><br />Perhaps if the accused had tweeted something inappropriate about Tom Daily he'd have been apprehended sooner?John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-2572619399870173692012-11-26T16:29:09.597+00:002012-11-26T16:29:09.597+00:00Jaded provides comedy value if nowt else.Jaded provides comedy value if nowt else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-75746446428968704462012-11-26T14:17:35.135+00:002012-11-26T14:17:35.135+00:00Head off where?

That plod have proved a huge disappointment to long suffering taxpayers, is something to bear in mind before reacting (predictably) to citizen comments.<br /><br />In W Yorks, a new era of plod irrelevance has slowly resulted in the victims of crime choosing to bypass police altogether. Here, good short-term results are obtained by dealing directly with local criminals. The training, commitment, competence, reliability and experience of plod therefore counts for nought. <br /><br />It is a shocking state of affairs when a list of circumstances where police intervention is unwanted, grows by the day. Presented with the lesser of two evils, most citizens would support permanent anchorage of plod to his/her radiator and keyboard.
