Police Scotland facing a brain drain as chief constable ‘pursues other roles’
Scotland’s national police force is facing a “brain drain” amid suggestions that the chief constable has considered other policing roles while hundreds of seasoned officers are looking to retire. Sir Iain Livingstone failed to land the role of director general of the National Crime Agency (NCA) last month and is said by well-placed sources to have strongly considered applying for the Metropolitan Police commissioner post after it was vacated by Dame Cressida Dick this year.

‘Residents are scared’: Violent crime is all too common in D.C.
USA: The alarming regularity of violence — predominantly gun violence — is a serious problem in D.C. The city government has undertaken myriad efforts to combat violent crime — establishing the office of gun violence prevention, investing millions of dollars in crime-related community-based initiatives and initiating new police offensives — but so far the city seems no safer.

New Met chief boosts ‘Line of Duty’ unit to root out prejudice and corruption
The new Metropolitan police commissioner is recruiting scores of new investigators to root out prejudiced and corrupt officers, the Guardian has learned. Mark Rowley starts on Monday and will launch a 100-day plan to turn Britain’s biggest force around after it became mired in repeated crises and was humiliatingly judged to be so poor it was placed into special measures by the official inspectorate.

New Met Police chief ‘must stamp out wokery in the force and axe at least 40 senior officers to reform Scotland Yard’, ex-Commissioner warns
Scotland Yard's new boss must prove to the public that 'every single act of crime' matters and stamp out wokery in the force, a former Commissioner warned yesterday (Fri). Lord Stevens, who led Britain's biggest force from 2000 to 2005, has called for low-level crime and disorder which blights lives to be taken seriously, telling officers to stop ignoring prolific shoplifters, anti-social neighbours and aggressive beggars. In a foreword for a major policing report co-written by Bill Bratton, former chief of both the New York and Los Angeles police departments, Lord Stevens recommends an 'urgent and major turnaround of the Met', telling incoming leader Sir Mark Rowley there must be a reversal of the 'hollowing out' of neighbourhood policing: 'The Commissioner will need to prove to the people of London that under his leadership every single act of crime or disorder matters, every individual matters, and every neighbourhood matters.'

Sweden election: Gang shootings cast shadow over vote
SWEDEN: A sharp rise in gun violence and gang crime has become a leading issue in what Sweden's media have described as one of the ugliest election campaigns in history. "Right at this spot here we had a shooting about this time last year," says Martin Gunér, a police officer in the suburb of Gottsunda, just a 15-minute drive from the medieval spires of the university city of Uppsala. Gottsunda is notorious for drugs and gun battles, and classified by police as one of the 10 most vulnerable areas in Sweden.
