警察與£320百萬預算-，但是沒有罪行!
星期六， 2008年7月12日 談論這個報告在RINF論壇 > NORTHUMBRIA警察是其中一個英國的最大和最繁忙的軍隊。 它雇用超過4,000名官員并且有預算在£320百萬附近一年。 那，更多比£1百萬在它的PR部門上花費。 然而，作為在Northumberland根據的一位自由職業者的新聞工作者，我頻繁地驚奇在怎樣平安區域是-或，至少如果您相信力量的新聞辦公室。 儘管力量，當沒有一種罪行被發布給媒介時，現在支付雇用職員它的新聞辦公室在星期六和星期天，有整體週末。 但這裡有一個根本原則，并且那是使用媒介的警察的古老的傳統警告公眾怎么回事-和幫助他們捉住罪犯。 在最後十年，我為Northumbria警察競選是更多開放以公眾-即。 支付他們的薪水的人民。 我收集了數百未被發布給媒介也未被發布以後幾星期甚至幾個月嚴肅的罪行的例子。 這些包括被保持從公眾掩藏的強姦、持械搶劫和其他可怕攻擊。 多年來以後開一定數量的會議與首要警察邁克爾Craik，我一再被許諾服務將改善。 并且是，預算為新聞辦公室，促進了-生長從£620,000二年前對£1百萬它現在消耗。 也有在故事的數量的大增量關於怎樣的高級官員是切口罪行形象。 的確，在有一種可怕罪行時候-例如謀殺或刀子攻擊- PR機器踢入生活以行情從注重怎麼的一位高級官員「罕見」這樣罪行是。 並且舒展可信度，其中一些聲明是駭人地厚臉皮的。 In fact, it would appear they are cutting them so dramatically that one recent weekend saw not one crime worthy of being given out by Northumbria…. However, through an application under the Freedom of Information Act, I discovered there had been more than 4,800 incidents that weekend, including 161 serious crimes. A good question – and one I’ve been trying to have answered for nearly 10 years now. In the past, I have taken the liberty of occasionally writing to or telephoning the senior officer concerned. There then usually followed a reasonable and well-mannered debate in which they would either quote particular “operational reasons” or admit there was no good reason why the public had not been warned. But now, following the publication of a series of articles in The Guardian, The Times, Press Gazette and other publications, I have been banned from even daring to ask such questions. In a letter, Deputy Chief Constable David Warcup claims crimes are not released for “operational reasons” and the force does not have to “justify” such decisions. As a journalist with more than 23 years’ experience – most of it spent specialising in crime – I appreciate there are times when crimes might have to be held back for genuine “operational reasons”. But there is no way they have to be held back in such huge numbers. My contacts tell me that, as part of that strategy, they have to reduce the “fear of crime” and, if that means telling the public less, then so be it. Mr Warcup recently defended the force’s expenditure on PR by saying: “Although crime in Northumbria has fallen significantly in the past 10 years, our research shows that the perception of crime has not. “We have therefore invested a significant amount in services which aim to make sure people have a better understanding of crime in their region.” Ironically, since the publication of my comments, I have been contacted by a number of police contacts who agree with my stance. Like me, they are not anti-police. However, as well as being police officers, they are also members of the public – and taxpayers. And, like me, they believe that, in a democracy, the likes of Mr Warcup should have to justify why the public are kept in the dark about what is happening in their area.

Well done Mr Green, but your seach for answers has only just begun. The Police authorities spend a massive amount on Diversity training, Common Purpose training and NLP courses, some Police Heads are even NLP practitioners.
If Policemen/women are not Diverse enough, they will not be promoted. Police Authorities will be tested on their EU Diversity training by 2009 - not on crime. Diversity training includes political attitude, a programmed officer will tell you that ” this ‘democratically’ elected Government has the power”………… Other officers are perturbed by behavioural changes in some of their colleagues. Some police on ‘postings now do not take the Oath.
These EU citizens are programmed to be anti-British and wrongly believe that Treason and Misprision of Treason are not crimes. They are trained to follow an agenda to change the whole fabric of our police forces and crime fighting to make way for EU State police - or Police State.
We were warned of this long ago, when I too was sceptical, surely people can see what is happening for themselves, if they don’t wake up soon it will be too late.
