The policing white paper will make the police more accountable to the public and deliver significant cost savings by working better in partnership, improving efficiency and standardising procurement. Protecting the public: supporting the police to succeed builds on the successful reforms in the 2008 policing green paper that have put the public at the heart of policing through neighbourhood policing, the single confidence target, the policing pledge and the ‘Justice seen, justice done’ …

:D Michael, Lee, and Jamie Muttram have plagued neighbours for ten years with abuse, violence, drugs, indecent assault, intimidation, theft and vandalism. Their catalogue of crimes is so prolific it took ten minutes to read a summary of their previous convictions to a court. It includes affray, assault on police, dishonesty, failing to surrender, indecent exposure, driving whilst disqualified, aggravated vehicle taking and going equipped to steal. They have also been linked to battery, criminal damage, threatening a witness or juror, being drunk in public, shoplifting and stealing cars.

However, chief officers are warning against plans to save £70m by cutting overtime, which they say is vital to "front-line" policing.

"One of the first women to be appointed a High Court judge, Dame Anne Rafferty has been involved in a string of high-profile cases.This year, she freed a man convicted of rape because his trial had lasted six months, making it too difficult for the jury to follow." So the wonderful woman ( i use the term wonderful) quite wrongly, has a history of dubious decisions. Second story and even more sickening. Family fury as teen …
