When I was in the Cadet Corps (originally a Royal Ulster Constabulary cadet) 1972/75 it was very much about service. From my perspective that was the best aspect of being in the Metropolitan Police Service (1975/2005) ... helping and protecting people from the worst elements of human behaviour. This video brings back some terrific memories. My peers and I all agree we were lucky young men to have had such excellent training and a great career to follow..!

Tim: Do you think policing in this era was more effective that it is today?

When the police was a “force” not just a “service”.

Notice, PoliceMEN. It’s hard to imagine how backward we were, just 50 odd years ago.
Yes, we have moved forward as a society and now have PCSO's!!!!
