In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Dave Marshall, who recently retired after serving over 30 years in policing. Dave is the author of the book 'THE FALL OF POLICING: When Woke Cancelled The British Bobby' where he discusses the decline of British policing. According to Dave, over time, the British police have shifted their focus from keeping the law-abiding public safe to politically correct initiatives, resulting in a less safe society. This shift has eroded public trust in policing and created a perception of incompetence among the police force.
If you are interested in reading Dave's book, you can find it at https://www.amazon.com/FALL-POLICING-Cancelled-British-Bobby/dp/B0CTW6XZ5Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3IEKM2JSVIKJX&keywords=dave+marshall&qid=1707860502&sprefix=dave+marshall%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-1.
In his book, Dave charts the demise of British policing. He describes how, over time, British policing gradually abandoned its primary purpose of keeping the law-abiding public safe to focus instead on politically correct initiatives that have left the public much less safe. This has undermined public trust in policing and created a perception that the police are incompetent.

In this episode I speak to Ex-Inspector Jack Frost who was trained to work with forensic scientists at crime scenes involving multiple fatalities. Jack and his colleagues were deployed after the suicide bombings on the London Underground in July 2005.
People like Jack deserve our respect and thanks for the particularly distressing job that they do.

In this episode I dive into the worrying rise in police resignations. In England and Wales, Home Office data revealed 3433 voluntary resignations in the year ending March 2022, a rise of 72% from the previous year and a rise of 196% since the year ending March 2012.
Professor Sarah Charman from Portsmouth University has interviewed scores of ex-police officers who resigned recently from policing. Her findings are deeply worrying for the future of the organisation.

This week I give my thoughts on recent developments in UK policing. Lots of signs that a new breed of police leader is prepared to make tough decisions, stick up for their staff and show some backbone!
