The UK's most effective Cop: How to reduce Crime on Metal Health Wards

Interview with PC Andrew Harris, who might possibly be the UK's most effective cop!

Andrew managed to reduce violence and disorder by 70% (!) by being a uniformed presence on mental health wards that wanted more police support to protect their staff and patients.

Bedfordshire Police are working with local mental health services and these services are very cooperative with Andrew, as the project has been so incredibly effective at reducing incidents.

Andrew is approachable both to patients and staff, he enables patients to come and talk to him when they are frustrated and to talk things through rather than reacting without thinking. Andrew gets the patient to reflect on their decision-making and their behaviour, and many incidents have been prevented that way before they even took place.
