Front-line Policing: Can, Worms, Open
The problem(s) with Response Policing
by P.C. Andy Vince

Now retired, PC Vince writes about his experiences from a career in the Police spent entirely in uniform on the front line – ‘Response’ as it is known. During that time he attended incidents from cycling matters to murders, and everything in between.

He explains procedures and shows how the Police evolved during his career, and not for the better.

He takes the reader through the gates of a police station, behind the wheel of a police car, and into the 999 world, giving opinions and his own personal feelings about the development of what was, once, a very efficient service, and now is full of nonsense.

Response bobbies will love their side of things being shown – the bosses and government, not so much



PC Vince joined the Police following time in the forces and other jobs. He spent his entire Police career on the front line in a smaller than average Police force. He is now happily retired.
