Richard Brunstrom should accept that. To that extent he is questioning the authority to which he is directly accountable.” “Maybe he ought to look for a political career in the future.” A viewpoint literally hundreds of thousands of voters across the United Kingdom would agree with Mr Jones!
The calls of "off with his head" have come in reply to the Chief Constable’s common sense remarks concerning the legal status of ecstasy in particular, and illicit drugs in general.
Mr Brunstrom has publicly decried the current ABC drug rating system employed by the United Kingdom. In his paper, which was published with the full backing of the Police Authority, he calls the current system “unworkable and arbitrary,” and went on to challenge the Home Office to take drugs out of the hands of organised criminals by legalising and regulating all drugs, and at the same time generating millions of pounds in "new" revenue for the Exchequor.
He also said ecstasy, a laboratory synthesised compound known as MDMA, is a safe substance when used in controlled circumstances, and is a drug which is statistically, “safer than aspirin.” A point he went on to prove conclusively, by quoting death certificate figures from the National Office of Statistics.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Brunstrom's, is a viewpoint which MP’s like David Jones and Albert Owen, disagree with, even though the United States has further proved his points valid, having recently started trials using MDMA as a treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in rape victims amongst others.
Chief Constable Brunstrom, a frontline Police Officer with over 28 years service under his belt, has always maintained he will ceaselessly and tirelessly enforce the laws as they stand, and regardless of his personal beliefs.
League Tables
To cement the point, new figures released this week actually show North Wales Police at the top of the league for “crimes solved” in England and Wales.
Home Office statistics show near neighbours in the South Wales Constabulary have successfully solved only 25% of recorded offences. Two percent below the national rate.
The South Wales Constabulary, led by Chief Constable Barbara Wilding, is the “ninth worst force for solving crimes in Wales and England”, according to Cardiff based Media Wales Ltd, publishers of The South Wales Echo and The Western Mail.
But offenders in North Wales are twice as likely to be convicted of their crimes in a court of law, as they are in the south of the Principality.
The same figures show North Wales Police has the best detection and conviction rate in the whole of England and Wales, solving an impressive 48% of reported crimes.
21% above the national average.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davies was quick to make a political point, saying “These figures, and the fact crime is rising, betrays the Labour party’s total and abject failure.”
“Not only are more people committing crime, but more are getting away with it.”
A statement which government figures now prove, no longer apply, at least not in North Wales, and surely, as a result of these new Home Office statistics its time to ask ourselves honestly, in light of the apparent witch hunt Mr Davies, Mr Jones and Mr Owen have instigated for the sacking of the most successful Chief Constable in England and Wales, what personal agenda's the members who constantly make the most noise are working toward?
