There is a fifty year gap in which the idea of employing "people of high
intellect" was replaced by some sort of sandwich course? What happened?
Robert,
Conspiracy theory has it that Soviet "agents of influence"
inside the Home Office changed patriotic and independent Chief Constables
recruited from and accountable to the local establishment to the present
type.
They are not like the old type and are chosen from a list approved by the
Home Office. All who get on the list are police officers. Most of them have
degrees in sociology and similar subjects which the Home Office sponsored.
They typically have had little contact with the public or experience of
operational police work but they do move around a lot at short intervals.
The Police Federation has described this as the "butterfly syndrome".
Regards, John Hurst.
