  1. I left the police in the 90s, and so much of this interview chimes with me. The police officer used to be the personification of the law, and the old uniform amplified this point. Officers now look much more militarised, but more than this, male officers are unshaven, have long hair (certainly in Gloucester), call everyone 'mate. They no longer wear headress when outside. I walked the beat and interacted with the local community. People saw the police in operation and could talk to a real person. Officers no longer have the time to do this. We have lost touch with what matters.
