Option two: come over all Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard, warning varmints they’ll feel the full force of the law. That was the tactic of the chief constable of Northamptonshire, one Nick Adderley.

Police Professional 9/4/2020 News London coronavirus: ‘We are here to help’ – Police share QR code for domestic abuse victims Domestic abuse victims should still leave home despite lockdown measures My London 9/4/2020 News Revisiting the police mission The question of the police mission – ‘what are the police for?’ – is a recurring and contested one in British public life. So much so that there are good reasons to be weary of another ride over this well-trodden ground. The debate has long circled around the same set of dilemmas, the same binary oppositions. Are the police a law enforcement, crime-fighting agency or are they a 24/7 social service doing whatever is necessary to maintain and repair order? Should they focus on reacting to calls for assistance (so-called fire brigade policing) or be proactively engaged in and with communities seeking to prevent crime and safeguard the vulnerable? Are the police the thin-blue-line that delineate order from chaos and keep the ‘law-abiding majority’ safe or do their powers present an ever-present risk to minority rights and require constant oversight and tight cabining within the rule of law? Debate between these alternatives recurs with seemingly little hope of progress or satisfactory resolution, but rather, it seems, repetitive back and forth between adherents of one pole or another. The value of a further foray into this barren territory is not therefore self-evident. It stands in need of justification.
