Busy busy busy..

Not too many updates recently but this is not through lack of trying. I've managed to sit down a few times and start typing but there is always something more important going on....

Anyway, work has been a mixture of boredom, repetition and an all out adrenalin high. I won't go into details but the best 10 minutes of my career, so far, came and went and I'm still in one piece. Needless to say bad guys were taken away and the lads and I had a beer the next day to celebrate.... cool and exciting stuff.

Stuff which I would be a million miles away if I hadn't have moved.

ACPO support long sentances...

Having read this article it doesn't surprise me one bit that ACPO are spouting incomprehensible rubbish.


The sentence in question is this:

'The promise of reform which the Green Paper heralds holds much for the public and Service alike; local policing, customised to local need with authentic answerability, strengthened accountabilities at force level through reforms to police authorities and HMIC, performance management at the service of localities with targets and plans tailored to local needs, the end of centrally-engineered one size fits all initiatives, an intelligent approach to cutting red tape through redesign of processes and cultures, a renewed emphasis on strategic development so as to better equip our service to meet the amorphous challenges of managing cross force harms, risks and opportunities.'


Anyone care to translate??
