I was once a fairly enthusiastic supporter of the police but today my hatred for them would be described as visceral. While part of it is physical - beards, tattoos, paramilitary uniform - I couldn’t quite work out how/why my view had become so radical. I think I do now.
As a retired officer I fully agree with the author ... sadly the police themselves don't see it. I guess that history is not important even if it's your own.
I applied to join the Met a couple of years ago, via the DC direct entry pathway. I was assessed and rejected in a purely online process, without any human contact, including an excruciating automated 'interview' directly into my laptop camera. It was astonishingly shit.
Excellent. Thank you.

Thank you so much for an invaluable read.
I'm looking forward to Part II.
What a pity those in authority responsible for policing are not particularly interested in policing as a priority.
It's the same with the NHS. Those in authority seem to have more vital issues to focus on than health and well-being.

I see you too have felt the cold sticky touch of CONNECT.
