Investigator, Researcher, Policing & Law enforcement specialist. If you are still alive, anything is possible. All goals are attainable ...... somehow.
@INQUEST_ORG@DC_Police@guardian Great feats are performed daily by law enforcers, these publicised & applauded, rightly!
Converse should apply. Mistakes as grave as this fatality, requires contrition not ultra defensive stance by Chief Officers. Erosion of public confidence is self evident.

@brianpaddick Loyalty to the MPS will not wane. Not after our years in service.
You are right about difficult issues; and more keep surfacing!!
A significant challenge for some folk (not you, me and many more) they interpret criticism as disloyal.
I see it as working to improve and enhance.
@IPledgeToThee@gmhales I was privileged to serve with numerous fantastic officers.
No problem with disagreement, I think challenges are great.
However, first read over in FULL any article I have written or contributed to, or any interview for that matter.
Then give full blunt, undiluted feedback 👍🏿
@Collarnumber88@gmhales I appreciate the feedback.
As it happens I don't seek end of TSG, far from it!
I ensured article was corrected sharpish!
However, I do harshly criticise some deployments.
I also made numerous other comments. I stand by all.
Always poised to reason & discuss.
Best wishes
@ksnmiyagi@gmhales Answers to both questions will be self evident, sooner than you think.
My question. Will you give support?
However, don't get taken in by increasing anonymous Trolls (some boasting policing background) you'll waste your time.
They make your two-way street harder to achieve!
@E_bygum @gmhales So busy I don't have much time to view Twitter or check Trolls in hiding😉
Brief exception for this chain.
I confirm my credibility is sound, it's trajectory climbing.
Re TSG? It has my support. Article long since corrected.
Numerous other points made I firmly stand by them 👍🏿
@BertLynch4 @E_bygum @gmhales Whether you assess me as Top bloke or shite, matters not!
Yes I trained you and numerous others; some this very year.
Crucial police do own research, not follow or become trolls!!
Seen my articles? Heard my interviews?
Read & listen again ... this time in Full.
Best wishes 👍🏿
@ShabnamChaudhri @gmhales Neither do I want TSG disbanded. Article was corrected.
But, deaths & life-changing injuries as outcomes for low level offences?
I know TSG's value in dealing with 'harder face of policing' i.e. when this is required.
Appreciate your comments👍🏿
As for same anonymous trolls 🤣
@mark74brown@gmhales Odd I should belatedly read your tweet, when I am engaged exactly as you suggest.
@mark74brown
My credibility folks? As solid as ever. Not so those anonymous trolls😉
Rogue quote in Guardian long since corrected. TSG have my support. But, all else in that article I stand by 👍🏿
@MPFed Absolutely; support frontline policing as far as possible.
But, those measures cannot eliminate public rights and liberty.
Impose restrictions on protests? Yes.
Preclude civil rights? No.
@roysmithpolice Doesn't need detailed explanation. There is support for police deployment here. Irresponsible parenting long identified!
Too much denial on self evident cases is pointless. Just adds to the daily defensive from our police.
Tough job, we know. Address cases where bias is present!
@roysmithpolice Roy, you are making valid comments on the equipment. It is great kit.
But, this is not where public concerns are focused.
As a senior manager, your public expect you to analyse how equipment is used. Specifically analysis of risk if used inappropriately by SOME personnel.
@LensNarration @kehinde_andrews Thank you, that’s how I interpreted it. So, I answer yes, I do comprehend.
I can’t see how your tweet is being misrepresented, it is self evident. Doesn’t alter my suggestion that myriads will see this differently to you.
No hostility required, maintain & enjoy your stance😉.

@Dowellenough@gmhales @GaryTrowsdale @policeconduct Far simpler than noises commentaries.
Each strike must be justified. Sufficient time has elapsed for an MPS update on: (1) unseen risks providing justification; (2) remedial action underway if strikes not immediately justifiable or (3) other / unknown factors.
#PublicConfidence
@GaryTrowsdale @gmhales@policeconduct@LeroyLogan999 Continuing silence of Commissioner or delegated senior representative is bleak. If there were unseen facts proving the actions justified OR the officer misread risks and lost control ...OR some other explanation? By now we should at least have an interim update.
