Perhaps the Police and Home Office will at last take some notice of the latests report on what reasonably honest British Citizens think about them. Then I doubt they will.
For months various threads on RR have been banging on about how the Police have lost the trust, respect and support of Average Mr and Mrs UK. Serving Plod, Ex Plod and Wannabe Plod have defended their corner saying its the fault of our Political Masters. Well the report by Civitas shows that their response is not completely correct. All Police Officer hold Office under the authority of the Queen, not their Chief Constable or any Political party the "Office of Constable". It is this Office not the fact they are a Police Constable or Police Chief Superintendent that gives them the Power to enforce or warn or disregard incidents not figures and targets set by some pen pusher sitting in his office. Until serving officers get this into their thought process instead of following set targets they will lose the support of the public until they are eventually seen as the enemy as is the case in many countries.
