ITV POLICE documentary in london

[@custodyplod]

11:05, Inspector Matt Twist is now an Assistant Commissioner so he's risen in the ranks indeed... Thanks for posting this btw, I remember seeing this show years ago but I thought I misremembered and that he wasn't actually in an episode until I saw this

[@johnnyretro1975]

Thanks jake no problem

[@jamesflaherty59]

He was a Superintendent in Surrey Police for a short while I believe as well, he's been round the block and surely knows his stuff when it comes to policing

Not sure if this policeman could have been in the army when internment was in place in Northern Ireland. Internment was from 1971 to 1975. If he was 18 in 1975 he would now be in his 60s?

[@camzoscott]

This documentary is from about 2006, so entirely plausible

[@MarineAqua45]

If he was born in 1959 & joined as a boy soldier at 16 he might have been around during the internment-era & he would have been 48,when this documentary was made. You could join the army as a 16 year old.

my late father was born in Preston, Lancashire but moved south and joined the Metropolitan Police in London. although he became a detective and eventually we moved to Liverpool and he became special branch, he had hidden secrets of trips to Northern Ireland on ships from liverpool just listening and observing during the troubles. but going back to the MET his biggest claim to fame or non-fame was near hampstead Heath as a young Bobby when he heard what he thought was a car back firing. DUH. turned out it was Ruth Ellis Killing her boyfriend. she was the last woman hanged in this country for this crime. where were you Dad ? you could have been famous!

Someone else would get 16 years to life for the crime of the one who received 19 months. The sandwich thief will be stigmatized for life being forced to work jobs no one else will do - But it is much worse those seeming getting away with the worst deeds.

[@markcooper1505]

I'm amazed that the police don't understand, why they are disliked so much, they need to look at their own behaviour and how they speak to people, and I'm not speaking of bad criminals with knifes, I'm talking about the everyday people who get stopped in the street or in their cars. My view is I will speak to them exactly how they speak to me, so if I got stopped, their first words to me would dictate how the conversation went.....arrogant and cocky gets arrogant and cocky, polite gets polite
