And my thoughts on that video! 1) Police! NEVER rely on the public, unless it is film footage you are looking for! Lutonites you should be ashamed of yourselves, that officer is someone's brother,son,father. 2) Why did Officer seem so reluctant to put the boot in? Has the fear of public backlash now taken forefront in Police thoughts? I would have beaten the rubbish out of this fellow, sod the consequences! 3) Cameraman, another useless cretin who stood by and watch this instead of getting involved, rather film a officer dying then put camera down! 4) With the many ways the Police are currently attempting to interact with the public, it seems to have failed on …

The Great Expectations project set up by PCSO Claire Nutland is aimed at 12 to 16-year-olds at risk of committing serious crime. Ms Nutland said one of the key activities in the project has been meeting inmates at HMP Leyhill. She said: "It's somebody they can talk to who really knows exactly how it is to live that life."

Photograph: Martin Godwin During the two-and-a-half years I served as police minister, I was privileged to meet many fine police officers. From the brilliant detectives who solve the worst crimes, to the committed neighbourhood teams who work hard to build confidence in their communities, to the stoic response officers who deal with drunks every weekend, I never lost my a…

http://www.standard....=internalSearch My colleagues at work pointed out this article. My night out with the Specials saving bankers from themselves No one parties harder than a City worker at Christmas bonus time. As their festive cheer spills out on to the Square Mile, a crack team of special Christmas constables is on hand to save them from themselves Six police officers have pinned the man to the ground but he keeps struggling anyway.
