    As a part-timer, I am not exposed to the day-in, day-out problems that regular officers encounter. Perhaps this is why I am not as critical of the policy. As the organization becomes more politically correct and less about real policing, blogging of views will become more prevalent. Unfortunately thats the age we live in. Even though some will deny this, we are partly to blame (Scarman report, Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, The Secret Policeman)…I just hope that we can go back to doing what the public expects, which is catching criminals and not filling out endless paperwork to keep managers and government happy. We were once trusted..
