Chandler's Policies

Superintendent Tom Chandler made his mark on Sun Hill.

Stop, Talk and Search

The negative effects of stopping civilians with old policy Stop and search without reason searching them was having a negative effect on the community.

Instigated: Three weeks

Sergent Bob Cryer Sergent Craig Gilmore Not up with the ways of "modern policeing", conviently injured to be pensioned off and replaced

This plan came into problems with the prositutes, who in the light of a fellow prositute being bashed, refused to go to such a secluded and dangerious area. The person

Synergy

CID was facing a barrage of possibly race-related attacks and was not dealing with them satisfactorily. Therefore, Chandler united CID and senior leadership, and all major decisions to therefore run through his office. Although this did not have a title, it has appropriately been titled, Synergy.
Instigated: One year, six months
