Exploring the historical roots of U.S. policing reveals its deep ties to slavery and race. Did you know the first modern police forces in the U.S. were established as slave patrols in the Southeastern states? Let's discuss how this past shapes our understanding of policing today.

Unfortunately some Police forces are ignoring ’the law’ (unbelievable when you put it like that) and twist the wording to suit themselves… How long can this be allowed to carry on. It is a cost to industry that unfortunately filters down to the man in the street. The unforeseen extortionate police rates are a burden to manufacturer’s that make UK manufacturing uncompetitive. Ultimately jobs are on the line here, whilst the police are making a business out of what should be ‘part of their job’. Easy solution is to make a small change in the law to allow ‘registered and qualified’ private escort companies the ability to ‘direct traffic’ upto a certain dimension or weight.

Whilst most policing is a public service, there are situations in which the Police can charge for ‘Special Police Services’.   In his latest article, James Edes delves into the guidelines on charging for police escorting services as well as the practical implications for abnormal load operators.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gpXZCCc2   #Operators #PoliceServices #UKPolice

Did you know that 23 out of the 43 police forces in the UK, use Disc? If your local police force is not yet using Disc, tag them to this post so they can find out more.

China’s proliferating Pacific police footprint https://lnkd.in/g7TAm3f2 While such cooperation may benefit Pacific police, a sensible approach would be to limit such assistance to funding or new equipment, while devising regional standards for international policing partners

With public order top of the agenda, it is a good time to revisit two insightful articles by Policing Insight's Graham Wettone looking at the claims of two-tier policing, the difficulties officers face, and the role politicians play in increasing tension. ➡ Protests, politicians and police: The continuing myth of ‘two-tier’ policing [SUBSCRIBER ARTICLE] https://lnkd.in/d3rgwdWQ (May 2024) ➡ Two-tier public order policing exists – but based on risk, threat and intelligence, not race and politics [SUBSCRIBER ARTICLE] https://lnkd.in/etWNgvyw (Dec 2023) #lawenforcement #policing #police #publicorder #protests

I often use the phrase “be selfish before being selfless. If we’re not good to ourselves then we are good to nobody. Some honest and difficult decisions needed from policing. A need to look inward and ensure the service is fit to deliver. If not there will be challenge after challenge. Burnout/Stress all factors in poor behaviour and mistakes and service delivery. More needed than simply awareness e-learning. Surely your culture and reputation is worth the effort.
