Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has made an "exception" to the force's dress code by allowing officers to display union jack badges. Sir Paul's intervention came after about 2,700 people signed an online petition on the Number 10 website. Armed officers on patrol at Heathrow Airport had worn the badges in support of the Help for Heroes charity, but were then told to remove them. Sir Paul said officers should be able to "openly support" British troops. The online petition said 100 officers with SO18 Aviation branch had bought the badges to support the armed forces charity.

Police should turn more of a blind eye to drug dealers to help reduce violent crime, according to a new report. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...l#ixzz0MlL2REQL Considering programs like Road wars is mostly about stopping the drugs trade, the program will get canceled.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...g-handlers.html A teenager whose party became a riot after it was gatecrashed by 150 revellers who saw it advertised on Facebook has boasted about how much it cost to break up. 'It was wicked.'" "My mates are saying what a sick party it was - the best yet.' Dear child, one day your turn will come, one day as with everyone else in this country you will need the Police assistance. Now i not say this in a nasty way, but i`m kind of hoping the police will not be able to turn up in time to assist you, and explanation given is lack of funds, you daft bitch.

A man suspected of raping a woman 12 years ago cannot face prosecution, as the police have lost the case file. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8172707.stm Might be a good show on TV. Is it normal for the Police to keep dead files for 12 years? That bloke with his dog, not the sort of fellow i wish to meet down a dark ally. BTW should that dog not be muzzled?
