Three years later he was leading the force after the departure of disgraced chief constable, Grahame Maxwell [1]. Elevation to the top job completed an astonishing, meteoric rise through the ranks for Madgwick that saw five promotions inContinue reading “Madgwick goes for Gold”
Police refuse to come clean over sexual risk order
Over the past two years it has been my considerable misfortune to have the job of holding North Yorkshire Police up to some sort of scrutiny. I have been hanging on to the baton, largely, for my North Yorks Enquirer colleague, Nigel Ward, who found himself shackled, until recently, by a grotesque and ultimately failedContinue reading “Police refuse to come clean over sexual risk order”

‘Are we all equal under the law, Dave?’
In June 2013, when David Graham Jones took charge of North Yorkshire Police for the first time, he probably thought that he had ‘landed on his feet’ as we say oop t’North.

The College of Policing‘s Code of Ethics has often been described via my Twitter feed (@Neil_Wilby) as an Emperor’s New Clothes fairy tale, straight from the Hans Christian Andersen portfolio.
