No surprise there then, but why should this startling news have to come from a leaked Home Office report which completely contradicts what the Home Secretary wrote in the Telegraph, this problem requires honesty and transparency from all https://t.co/UpqyRXCgoc

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

Interesting to see how the approach from a Home Secretary has changed in 4 years, just let police officers use their powers professionally. Stop and search when used properly has a role but knife crime requires a far broader approach https://t.co/vh6T6OHyur

Really good article calling for greater investment in policing and reminding us of the importance in Neighbourhood Policing. https://t.co/1H5liIGnOm

What an incredibly moving piece of film, many a retired officer will recall how he feels, best wishes for the future Mark #JobLikeNoOther https://t.co/2ddsagef4e

Good night sir. As someone close to retirement this is emotional and a great example of how officers care about this great job we do https://t.co/ElEY36SN7e

Really good article once again highlighting the benefits of empowering local communities to reduce demand on the police. https://t.co/ZrkTLgNklN

@edmclean4288 Nice one Ed, would have been really interested to hear that presentation, surely a no brainier , better to prevent and not have a victim than detect spending public money on something that need not have happened. Simple view from ex Detective

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

@CloAllen Cheers Chloe, that is so funny, they really are properly spoiled ! Great to catch up and hope to see you again soon

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

@edmclean4288 @SJKR8 Nice one Ed, glad to see you've gone for the healthy option with your coffee!

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

Hm, interesting article with purposely challenging title. Of course prevention must be cost effective and well thought through but lets not forget our policing purpose, what price do we put on a victim? Must be better to prevent than detect. https://t.co/YCUVSJJVmn

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

Agreed, although resourcing the police and partner agencies properly will help, the solution surely has to be greater joined up problem solving and addressing the causes of crime https://t.co/3QSLjNEtBC

@edmclean4288 Cheers Ed, great to see you’ve got a new sponsor @CadburyUK trust there looking after you. Have a good day mate.

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

Disappointing headline from the @BBCNews, surely this should read Government cuts reducing capability of hard working police officers delivering the quality service they want to deliver https://t.co/v78cjmPajn

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

Wholly agree but this must be more than just a sound bite, effective engagement with collaborated community problem solving will build social capital and community cohesion and be far more effective at preventing terrorism https://t.co/HubWltpwxe

[Andy Boyd @MG_AndyB]

A really interesting study which not only highlights the benefits of community engagement but highlights the impact of ACE's, surely the goal must be to empower communities to support young people at risk of ACE and provide positive futures https://t.co/jtNncVUAon
