A stroll through life in words and pictures. Monthly Archives: June 2016. June 18, 2016. A prompt I can work with 😀. I am, for the most part, a perfectionist. Only in certain areas of my life though. I don’t care much about appearance of person or possession. However, perfection of creation is a whole other matter. To me, that misses the point of job satisfaction completely! It doesn’t matter if no-one will see it. I know it’s there and if it’s a mess, I’m not happy with it. June 12, 2016. March 9, 2017.

Misconduct & Mistakes | Life & Times
https://linbeth.wordpress.com/2016/12/09/misconduct-mistakes
A stroll through life in words and pictures. December 9, 2016. Fantastically well written piece that really puts the job in perspective! It occurs to me that, from time to time, police officers make mistakes. It also occurs to me that we live in a world that is increasingly unforgiving of them when they do. There are, of course, any number of reasons why police officers might get it wrong:. 1) Because they are human. Though my wife comes close, I’ve yet to encounter an entirely perfect human being. The N...

Spitting Feathers | Life & Times
https://linbeth.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/spitting-feathers
A stroll through life in words and pictures. September 8, 2016. I’m not an expert on Spit Hoods. In fact, even as a serving officer, I was completely unaware of them until relatively recently. If I’m honest and this is very much a personal view I think they look pretty alarming. And so do a lot of other people if the debate of the last couple of days is anything to go by. I understand that. And I understand any desire on the part of the Mayor’s Office to seek a wider set of views. Enter your comment here.

A Copper’s Christmas | Life & Times
https://linbeth.wordpress.com/2016/12/20/a-coppers-christmas
A stroll through life in words and pictures. A Copper’s Christmas. December 20, 2016. Allow me if you will to present a retelling of the traditional Christmas story, using detail drawn from a little known historical source the archives of the Bethlehem Police Department. One document in particular, the BPD Daily Crime Bulletin, offers a fascinating insight into the work of a hitherto unheralded group of women and men whilst shining new light on an old tale. Day 5 of Operation Census. 12 PCs on duty.

A stroll through life in words and pictures. Don’t Go Changing. March 9, 2017. All the positives about policing that must not change… excellent read as always. So much of the current talk in policing is of change. Of the pressing need for reform. And, truth be told, there is a great deal in this job that needs sorting out. But, amongst all the conversations about things like modernisation and transformation, it seems to me that we’re in danger of missing something of fundamental importance. More than the...
