Report Text:
At 23:50 on Tuesday 14 Feb 2012 two males, one black and one white who were at the bar were involved in a heated argument. When it looked
to be turning ugly, a member of the bar staff intervened and attempted to cool the situation down. The white male shouted at the bar man
‘What’s it got to do with you’ and then punched the staff member in the face giving him a bloody nose.
Both males then headed quickly to the exit but were detained by door staff and the Police were called. Both men and staff members were
questioned and the white male was arrested. The arrested male was identified as John SMITH.
SMITH was served a Red Exclusion Card before being taken away by the police

Nationally a police officer will spend on average between 10 and 12 working days per year just administering a ‘taditional’ hard copy album scheme and that doesn't include print costs. \nIndeed one ‘traditional’ scheme estimated that they were spending £1000 per year on ink alone, just to produce their retail albums.\n\nA Police Officer from one constabulary reported that when he was managing photo albums for just 2 towns, it was taking up 10% of his total working year. \n\nAnother PCSO who was given the responsibility of running the 'traditional' scheme in a single town calculated they were spending 6 working weeks per year managing it.\n \nIt is also worth remembering that the information sharing agreement and Data Protection breaches in one town were so bad that the Superintendent had to be informed and the albums that could be found were withdrawn immediately. Some were never recovered. \n\n
