Reports

  • Adapting to Protest published 7 July 2009. This report concerned the policing of the 2009 G-20 London summit protests.[2]
  • Stop the Rot, published 24 September 2010, that examined the effects of anti-social behaviour and the withdrawal of police street patrols.[3][4] According to the Stop the Rot report, it confirmed the widely held belief by UK people, that the police had largely retreated from policing anti-social behaviour on the streets, by grading calls and not replying to incidents deemed to be below a specific grade of offense. The results was a rapid increase of yobbish behaviour in the last decade.[5]

Awards

He was awarded the Queen's Police Medal in 1996. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2002, and was knighted in the 2010 Birthday Honours.[6]

He is married with three children.
