Chief Constable gets caught up in the action
The Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom has been blogging about getting caught up in the action whilst an arrest was being made during a patrol in Wrexham. He writes:
"I got involved in a couple of hands-on incidents. The first was a man who had been ejected from one of the town centre clubs for poor behaviour which he then proceeded to repeat on the street in front of me and the local Inspector. All went well until the handcuffing, at which point he decided to fight, and a strong guy he turned out to be. A melee ensued and we fell to the ground in a struggling heap with the Inspector expertly pinning and immobilising a pair of thrashing legs. Unfortunately they were mine, not the offenders."

"Chief Constable gets caught up in the Action?"
Your entry is dated 6 Jan 09, 02:11 PM - should that be AM?.
I regularly enter your site, having been born in Wrexham and, having been born there and served in the Denbighshire Police Force many years ago, in the late fifty's and early sixty's, to see what is happening in the area after having moved to Yorkshire in the early sixty's.
I just can not comprehend Brunstrom's Blog. He is a man in an extreme position of importance - A Chief Constable - a person who has been appointed to that position to direct and lead his force, he has presumably attained the rank of Chief Constable, because he has experienced police work from the "grass roots" and, having so experienced the daily tasks of all officers on the "Beat" having come through the ranks, he can now rely on his "Managers", namely Sergeants, Inspectors and, those above them and between him to keep him informed of the day to day situations, in order to address the policing situation, without getting himself involved in such a situation that he "Blog's about".
I note that he tells us that there were a couple of incidents. What was the second? Was it more rediculous that the first?.
The question also has to be asked as to why he was patrolling with an Inspector, if he had to patrol at all?.
Why wasn't it the "Bobby on the Beat
