Former student police officer whistleblower here - students were being educated better since than in Ben's day. There's lots to be said for hands on experience. But getting a degree is helpful too. We learned how to assess threat, risk and harm. It's great to identify a criminal on the street but its 100% true lots of criminals wear suits. We learned not only to identify criminals but also how to understand vulnerability. Criminals can be vulnerable and vulnerable people can be criminals.

Ey up, Ben. So I have a funny anecdote for you. I'm fairly sure you arrested me and a few of my family and friends back in the day (West Yorkshire) and we all had BMF wallets. They were custom made. I can't think of anyone else I know/knew with those wallets so I am wondering if it may have been me and mine you're on about. Was it a trend for others aswell or was it a specific group you had in mind? Either way, I can promise it wasn't from Auntie Maureen and it didn't have JD sports vouchers in it. Also never shoplifted.

@@DeeJay-sk6ue Oh I love when criminals think youre smart. Here's the thing, if it's my store you come in and we know youre a prolific shoplifter (lean in this is a good one I promise) sometimes we let you. Thats because we have cameras and your face on record which is great with our new system that actually has facial recognition and sets off a warning when you come in. We record you through our whole store, the shopping centre, car park and all until youre off our property. Then when you come next time (usually after we have a nice little file) we call the cops and let them handle it. Then youre not just looking at one offence of shoplifting that gets you a slap on the wrist, youre looking at multiple and a sentence.
