It's been a while, for various reasons, study, and just hard work still at work. With a bit of luck I'll update here more frequently now.
I've been reading a number of job related blogs, including the ubiquitous Gadget, who speaks sense in bucket load quantities, Bloggs and Copperfield. Those, plus the forums I occasionally inhabit all speak of the trials and tribulations of chasing sanctioned detections at every opportunity, alienating the public and trying to keep the bosses smiling.
It's maybe a wee bittie better up north of the border where it appears that discretion when dealing with some offences is still an option, but do I think this will last. I don't know. We are becoming more accountable to statisticians and accountants than before, yet they haven't managed to find a way yet to quantify that more cops on the street reduces both the fear of, and likelihood of crime occurring.
It seems to be that it's only worth considering if it's measurable. Not convinced on that one.
Rant over - back soon.

Inspector gadget is good, and there are so many others as well.
I'm not in the force and I love reading all the blogs sites. I have about 30 of them all in my favourites and you are one of them.
Thanks. Gadget s a favourite - a boss who speaks the truth.
