Keystone news

No police force in the South West currently has a chief constable, following the election of commissioners in November.  I wonder if crime has gone up, down or remained the same?  Perhaps we should wait for the evidence before rushing to appoint any new chief constables.  Meanwhile I learn that in the Devon and Cornwall force area there were 99 incidents in 2010 and 2011 where tasers were fired but no criminal charges were brought by police. The force has not yet given details for 2012.
