Notes on report.I have waded through the whole of the report and have come to the ote conclusion that it was obviously written by persons with no knowledge of police duties. They base all their argument, facts and conclusions on their assessment of facts that they have assimilated from dubious origins.1.They rely on Home Office, ACPO and other agencies statistics already published and in the public domain. These statistics have been compiled from figures and results which themselves have been manipulated at the point of origin, to meet government requirements when fulfilling TARGETS. In effect the actual findings are therefore unreliable.2.The facts and statistics provided by ACPO HMIC and others are equally unreliable. The opinions and recommendations of Senior Officers consulted are based on police theory not practice.3.The current senior ranks in the service are in the main not well versed in practical policing and therefore are unqualified to judge policing the streets. They have never policed the streets in the past twenty years and are therefore disqualified from giving advice on a matter they have no knowledge of.4.The pages full of graphs, pie charts and listings are all based on historical facts (also dubious) and have no bearing on a fast changing society.5.Equally the pages, which deal with financial matters, are not relevant to the current policing crisis and low morale. Once the police have been allowed to police all these other matters are merely housekeeping and are the concern of accountants and negotiations.6.PCSO. Much is made of the employment of PCSO as a means of showing a police presence on the streets. The public when asked in the main have little confidence in the scheme, which is merely a means to try to persuade the public into thinking they are policed. The cost of two PCSOâ??s would pay for one Warranted Constable so PCSOâ??s are a non-starter and the mention of them in the report is not relevant.7.The page upon page devoted in the report on police duties and the reference to civilian employment in non-active police duties, is again a matter, which results from past political tinkering. Over the past thirty years government and senior officers have introduced numerous procedures, which are devoted to keeping a check on Officers performing their duties. (PACE) (CPS) etc, these with the addition of Diversity, Political Correctness. Health and Safety and Risk Management etc have produced a mass of paperwork. Staff both police and civilians have been increased to deal with this. Meanwhile the Constable has had to spend more and more duty time devoted to filling out the forms and ticking the boxes.8.Finally, we have a current situation where the Politicians and the Senior Staff doing their bidding, have brought the police service to the low state it is currently in. They then have the gall to turn on the service they have ruined by their mismanagement, and say it needs to be reformed. Of course it does, but the last people to undertake a reformation are the very people who caused the havoc in the first place.9.The majority of positions listed as suitable for civilian staff are already civilianised in many forces. This matter is academic and again needs to be addressed after the more pressing matters have been dealt with.10.I have gone over the C.V.â??s of the report writers and cannot see any police knowledge evident. Would you go to a bricklayer to have your broken leg set? No nor wood I. They are professional speech writers and researchers waiting their chance to join parliament and the non stop gravy train.Scarlet Pimple.
Yes – I am all for graffiti. Once had a couple of 'street dudes' do me a great big panel of graffiti for an event I was staging.. stupidly didn't keep it for myself after.. What was I thinking!?KramxCharlotta
We are all in allergy central down here in Florida. The plants are in total freak out mode this early in the season LOL We sneeze ALL. DAY. LONG. Great shots!!
Mitzi I can answer this ecsaube my family lives down there! You are outside of my color planting schedule by about a month. The trick is, Las Vegas gets so hot in the summer, but you can grow almost all winter long. My book is really for a spring-summer-fall planting schedule. The dates I offer might work for you and others who live in warmer climates, but really have a spring-summer and a fall-winter season. I am very aware of your needs, and it’s on my list of things to research and write about. But honestly, I can’t speak from experience, only from my research. I encourage you to contact your local extension service (www.extension.org) for a recommended planting schedule.
