I am possibly the nly retited bobby on here. It hurts sme to read thse postings, especialy as I agree with much of what has been posted. I read similar postngs on a retired bobbies' Facebok group.On there are many postings not criticising the bobbies but the influennce that politicians have on today's forces. When Sir Robert Peel mooted the idea of having professional police, he was criticised by otrher MPs, especially for stating that the
politicians shsould have no control over the force, and that the officers should show no alliance to politicians. The recent move to appoint Police Commissioners was a step in the wrong direction..
