    Interesting story in the Daily Mail
    Supercop: The Sergeant who arrests more in a week than the average officer does in a year
    Sgt Livingstone's top tips to help police improve arrest rates:


    1) Get to know criminals, even when you're not dealing with them. Take the time to go down to custody and look at people, talk to them, get to know them. That can make a big difference because you never know when your paths might cross again.
    2) Keep busy. It's easy to stay in the office all day but it's important to get out and about. If you are waiting by the phone because you're expecting a colleague or member of the public to call, remember there are lots of ways people can get hold of you.

    3) Police officers have to be confident about the power they have. Know those powers and use them. There is a lot of new legislation coming out all the time but people either don't learn about them or learn them and forget them. If you're confident about them and use them, you will up your arrest rates.

    4) Get to know the community. Talk to CCTV operators, store detectives and others who can provide help and information. If someone is wanted, talk to people that work with them, their family and ask for information. Sometimes people think that if they knock on a door and they're not there, that's it. But it's not the case.

    5) Don't be afraid to talk to people. Last week someone gestured and swore at me. I went to talk to them, just to get to know them and find out what he was about. You need to know what is going on on the street - you never know when it might pay off talking to someone like that. We are paid to be suspicious.

    You gotta wonder how anyone could keep up with the paperwork for that many prisoners though...and I believe the Uk is worse then here for form filling!!

    Reminds me of someone I know who works down in Storetown, always in court, does checkpoints when he's put on the GPO, could find trouble in a nunnery!

    Hot Fuzz anyone? :)

    What's wrong with what he's doing? Is he going above and beyond? Are others just being lazy?
