Research in Nottingham Libary Regarding the police use of weapons<\/b><\/p>\n
I went to Nottingham City Library this morning, to look up previous instance of the previous loss of ammo and weapons by police in the county. I know of instances in 2001 with the loss of another magazine and 1995 when they lost five hand guns out the back of a van. The doors were open, while they drove along, ‘cos it was hot, apparently!!<\/p>\n
Checked back though their cuttings archives and nothing was there. I asked an assistant about it, and , apparently they only keep ‘important cuttings.’<\/b><\/p>\n
I composed myself, and asked to speak to a senior archivist. She said; we mainly keep cutting of ‘policy changes’ rather than ‘incidents’. And “Yep, I agree, it does seem we’ve been ‘kind’ to the police!”. She also remembered the story from the time, [thus if she remembered 8 years later, chances are in might have been important!]<\/p>\n
As a senior troublemaker, I told her there and then, that I would be grateful if that policy could be changed immediately, to take into account, what are self-evidently serious matters, that should result in ‘important cuttings’ and would be taking it up with the Nottinghamshire Senior Librarian next week. [watch this space].<\/p>\n
Oh god!! I mean, bloody heck, my whole life is like this. So there’s another couple of hours next week, to account for all this .. .. ..<\/p>\n

This is all a bit outside my usual subjects. Hope you all find it useful. No doubt the police will find my interest in all this, ‘interesting!’ Research in Nottingham Libary Regarding the police use of weapons I went to Nottingham City Library this morning, to look up previous instance of the previous loss of ammo and weapons by police in the county.
