Yep

...

in beautiful Garner.

And, uh, it starts with a, a band.

This year we have the Wake Christian Academy band performing, and they'll be providing music.

And the program, it starts at 11:00, and it's free to everyone to attend, whether you live in Garner or not.

And this year, our keynote spe- speaker's gonna be Brigadier General Reginald McClam.

Mm-hmm

Are we talking here, Mr Matthews, marrying up the reality of what the men and women brave enough to actually pull on the uniform and do every day with what we as ordinary folk are actually feeling? Is there a mismatch of some sort? Good morning to you.

Good morning, Nick.

Yes, whilst obviously we would welcome and cops across the country would welcome falls in the crime rates, my concerns, and I think that of probably most of the police officers around the country, would be that is this the reality? Is this a case of the public actually just no longer reporting crime because they have little trust in crime? The police resolving it.

And again, it's, you know, and it's very easy for politicians when there is a specific problem such as phone snatching in Westminster to throw a pot of money at the problem, abstract officers from elsewhere around the capital to sort that problem out.

And then once the problem has diminished.

You push the money disappears and the officers have to go back and pick up the remnants of what they were supposed to be doing in the first place.

There are no new cops to do any of this.

phil tell us a little bit about the british crime survey and what

Can you set out, and thank you for your time this morning, sir, can you set out the parameters of such an investigation? How is it conducted? What is it they're looking for? How long might it take? Good morning.

Good morning.

Well, the IOPC are conducting this investigation, so unfortunately they have a very long history of taking an inordinate amount of time with their investigations.

However, having said that, I think it's important for the Novak family.

I just do want to reiterate my condolences to the Novak family.

Nobody should have to bury their child, let alone in circumstances such as this.

But from an investigation point of view, there's probably a fair amount of material.

Where would you be looking at? What areas would you seek to investigate as to what went wrong? I think that's a fair question.
