More nonsense from Dorset PCC David Sidwick
David Sidwick, PCC for Dorset Police, has recently made a statement saying that things are not as bad in Bournemouth as reported in the press, and blames the difficulties of policing on lack of resources.
Once again, DS, similarly to all other PCCs I have looked at, is spectacularly missing the point. What the police need is some accountability to the public, and he is the one who is specifically meant to be doing that.
I have recently commented on James Vaughan, acting CC for Devon and Cornwall, and how he has played a big part in the waste, incompetence, corruption, protection and coverup in Dorset Police for more than a decade, and how he has been rewarded so excessively for it, now extended through to 2027 by PCC Alison Hernandez, also hopelessly corrupt, how convenient.
I highlighted to DS the appalling state of Dorset police when he started as PCC, he swept that under the carpet therefore ensuring it would continue.
Don't even get me started on Dorsets first PCC Martyn Underhill.
Sending more money to people like these to run the police is utterly pointless, this is not the problem. And things are bad, my own daughter recently suffered an attempted mugging in the middle of the day right outside Bournemouth train station. The attacker was not found.
I say again, DO NOT give the police another penny until they start to work better in the public interest with what they have. And that means we need a PCC who does what he is meant to do: get more out of the police for the public, rather than getting more out of the public for the police.
And see and report things as they are, not as he would like them to be. As I have seen for decades, don't trust the police when they report on police performance , deal with police complaints , etc.
