has canceled funding for the diamorphine scheme where some of our worst addicts are prescribed pharmaceutical grade heroin. The scheme was being tested in two towns, Middlesbrough and Glasgow but now we have dropped out. The reason he gives is that more officers on the street will have more effect. In other words, the cataclysmic policy that has been failing us since 1971, is better.

Meanwhile other towns and cities are waiting to join the trial.
 
I knew this former kipper loon was a terrible choice.

Fortunately this Chief Constable seems good and the funding we received as a result of the special measures seems to be rescuing a force whose austerity cuts had cut resources and morale to the bone.

'My beating was so brutal I can't sit': British ex-public schoolboy, 31, left with horrific injuries after being caned 24 times while tied naked to a frame in a Singapore jail describes his barbaric punishment​

Days after being flogged for drugs offences at the notorious Changi prison in Singapore, former British public schoolboy Ye Ming Yuen lies face down in his cell, in excruciating pain.

The open wounds from 24 strokes of a 4ft bamboo cane to his naked buttocks are so severe, they still ooze blood.

All he has is a towel to stem the flow. Sitting is impossible.
So horrific are his injuries that when a paralegal saw them this week, she almost fainted.
Unable to sleep, Yuen prays to God to calm his fears of long-term physical damage.
Bowel problems have plagued him since the caning.

Hes ex-UKIP isn't he? I'm sure that will work out brilliantly.

I have very little faith in the current chief constable, in my opinion he's not up to the job and the latest in a long line of people who also lacked the necessary leadership qualities.

There has been some small signs of improvement, but not where it matters and if anything, it's getting worse, despite the increased funding.

From a social volunteering projects perspective, Jacqui Cheer was good.

What makes you think he isn't up to the job?

Why do you think things are getting worse?
 
There was no mention on the news about what will happen to those currently on the scheme. Will they just be dropped and left to fend for themselves after spending months not having to worry about where the money was coming from? Perhaps some of them, through this scheme, were lifted out of the sex trade or acquisitive crime or perhaps escaped homelessness.
 
The force has been cut pretty drastically by the Tories. There's not many bobbies on duty in this area at any one time, I've heard half a dozen PCs to cover the northern area per shift, that's a big area of Cleveland.

The chap that has just been elected is obviously looking to change that but will this type of change make things worse?

I think it will.

Personal experience.

The HMICFRS interim inspection exposed some worrying stuff, much hadn't improved, some was worse.

Given the additional cash, additional staff and additional time, things should have moved on much much more than they have.
 
Sometimes it takes time to weed out the problem children and replace them well. Especially if one of them is, say, the head of HR, whose sections useless performance has been a root cause of numerous issues hampering every department in the force for years.

If HR doesn't do it's job, other departments can't get rid of their bad apples which doesn't just affect performance, it affects morale.

Not that I know anything.

For the Police more than most, it is about personnel and leadership more than anything. You need to put that right, only then can progress be made.

I'm sure that the only problem is the quick-fire change of chief constables over recent years - it created a chaotic and confusing environment, one which lurched from one direction to another.

Equally though, the way that some of the so-called scandals were handled created a blame-culture that seems to be gripping the organisation by the neck currently.

For all the glossy media pieces, I think the truth is that this hides an increasingly dysfunctional approach and sadly one which I cant see changing anytime soon.
