Keep politics out of policing PDF Print E-mail

Comment is Free Hugh Orde 27/11/2009

When I took over as chief constable in Northern Ireland I formed the view that I would talk to anyone who wanted to make a difference to policing. Against that background I talked to politicians from all sides in the Northern Ireland context and, of course, I had a policing board that held me to account. I learned that it is vital to talk. As a consequence of those conversations, difficult though many of them were, people are alive today who would not have been and that is a pretty good backdrop against which one can justify policing decisions. But any proposal to introduce a locally elected figure who can instruct chief officers in how to deliver policing would represent a fundamental shift.

Policing has an impact on political decision-making, and perhaps nowhere more so than in Northern Ireland. I will absolutely defend the right of the police service to take part in any conversation about the future of policing and I believe it is vital that we do so. Anyone with an interest in a serious debate about protecting the public has a right to hear the view of those who lead the service, who understand it and who carry accountability for the decisions they make.

    From the 1980s onward, digital replica watch technology vastly improved. In 1982 Seiko produced a watch with a small replicas watches screen built in, and Casio produced a digital replicas watch with a thermometer as well as another that could translate 1,500 Japanese words into English. In 1985, Casio produced the CFX-400 scientific calculator watch. In 1987 Casio produced a watch that could dial your telephone number and Citizen revealed one that would react to your voice. In 1995 Timex release a watch which allowed the wearer to download and store data from a computer to his wrist. Some watches, such as the Timex Datalink USB, feature dot matrix displays. Since their apex during the late 1980s to mid 1990s high technology fad, digital watches have mostly devolved into a simpler, less expensive basic time piece with little variety between models.
