Winning entry in the Police Review 1985 Essay Competition for
junior police officers which examines how far traditional police
methods were compromised to achieve the force's undoubted
logistical success. Covers issues such as the allegedly
centralised control of police operations, police abuse and
provocation of pickets, the use of road blocks and the imposition
of bail conditions. Suggests that, fairly or not, the police were
seen as an instrument of government economic and industrial
policy and that the policing of the strike raised major questions
about police accountability and the force's attitude towards
civil liberties.
