Police Commissioner Dr Kevin Blake has urged cops to not allow themselves to focus, even for “a moment”, on “those who thrive on distraction, provocation and the spreading of false information”.
Blake, who was discussing the value of worry in the weekly Force Orders circulated to all cops, noted that humans have evolved to use worry to respond to stimuli that are not physical threats.
“We worry about a misleading newspaper headline, a harsh and unfair comment on social media, a criticism of your operation from an actor turned so-called security expert and an individual who once had the opportunity to tackle the crime monster in our country and has failed miserably in their effort to achieve even a fraction of what you have,” he wrote.
