Front-line officers in remote, rural communities could be routinely armed in order to deal with terror threats, police chiefs have said. The move is being considered by the National Police Chiefs' Council because of a lack of specialist counter-terrorist firearms officers.

Plans were put in place to bolster the UK's capa…

Full story An example of when social media engagement can go quite wrong. No doubt the posts that were being refereed to were removed swiftly and now the media are posting examples of rather tame mocking responses as the posts that drew this response.

It is little wonder that officers are discouraged from exercising their Powers of Arrest.
