  1. “So events, events, events, policing is dominated by that. So I'm sort of looking back to two and a bit years. I'm starting on Monday. And on the Thursday before the Monday, Her Majesty the Queen dies. So immediately all my grand leadership plans for the first week or two are, okay, well, that's out of the window now. And I'm working that weekend of taking a more immediate handover from the previous team and in and out of Cobras and working with the government and our operational team in terms of just polishing the plans that are long practiced to make sure we do our small part in supporting an amazing and important state occasion for an amazing lady.”

  2. “Certainly a recognition that policing was in a difficult corner, but there's a danger with that, the way that presents as if I'm seeing myself as a hero on a charge or coming back into the ring. The vast majority of police officers are equally troubled and challenged All the people I lead, sort of almost all the people I lead, want pleasing to be better and arresting with all the constraints and challenges around them and me doing what I hope I'm good at as a leader with what they're brilliant at on the streets, I wanted to try and make that difference again in a different way.”

  3. “It was a moment in time, some difficult time for policing. I'm sure we'll talk about bits of that. And actually, I felt sort of, in some ways, the same motivation as when I sort of joined in the late 80s that this seems worth doing and interesting and I want to do it. And the same motivation I hear when I talk to new recruits at passing out parades at Hinden.”

  4. “Regularly friends and family would say to me, Do you think you'd ever go back into policing? And I was like, I'm not sure I would. My wife would always say, No, he's still going to. I think it was my wife could see it was in my heart. It's what I've done pretty much my whole working life. I love the policing mission. I love police officers and what they're prepared to do. And when the commissioner's job became available, I just felt I wanted to step back into the ring and contribute again. That sounds very cheesy.”
