CI Newland interview:
Timecode: 19:03:07
'The police force is a very different sort of institution now than it was when I was coming up and going through it. And there are changes to be made. I think we have to be more responsible and receptive to the needs of the public… And that's something that has to filter down from the top.'

CI Newland interview:
Timecode: 01:17:11
'I think there have been a lot of times where the police force has been seen as a military organization. And I think the sting is going out of this a bit. We need to put a slightly different face on it… It's not that I think we should be social workers when dealing with community problems. But we must be more understanding that the police are actually there to serve, and to protect.'

CI Newland interview:
Timecode: 01:17:11
'I have an office job and my job is to get the figures right. I'm interested in things like phone calls. How many calls and the time we take to pick up those calls. When we get emergency calls I want everything to be answered in the first 10 seconds. That's one of the personal things I want to achieve.'

CI Newland interview:
Timecode: 01:17:11
'Yes, there are things that need to change. And it's an institution that has for a long time been stuck in its ways. And we do need to find a way of opening those doors and letting change happen. And people are keen for change - certainly, within the force.'

  Commentary:
'And certainly, with the entrenched views of some of the older officers to deal with, CI Newlands needs all the spin and diplomacy he can muster.'

CI Newland interview:
Timecode: 01:17:11
'Some of the police force has Jurassic tendencies, if you like. But I've been pushed through as regards my station and experience. And I think that many of the older officers may well feel threatened by that. This method of fast-tracking. And I think people may find that slightly intimidating.'

Timecode: 01:17:11
'I think to my face, the officers are very respectful. But that is how the machine works. I suspect that behind closed doors they may have a problem with the changing force. But I'm afraid that's just the way it goes.'

Commentary:
' "CI Newland has seen the future…'
