I had a weird dream last night. Someone asked me what my job was and I said I was a private detective investigating drug crime. Someone then chipped in: You are obsessed with your job ! Am I ?
Tuesday 22nd October is going to be a bit of a signpost day for us, on that day we will be able to plan a strategy but right now that mission statement is a bigger dream than that I had last night ! But watch this pace - DrugWatchMK will happen and it will protect our community where those who are paid to do that job are failing - failing miserably !
We picked up a bit of information that a dealer may be using a Tesco car park to sell Class A drugs. This is only a suspicion, we do not have firm evidence to back it up, but the right thing to do was to alert Tesco. We wrote to their head office and also to the store manager of every supermarket in Milton Keynes. NOT ONE BOTHERED TO REPLY !
We learned that evil drug dealers were targeting young teenagers as the left school, offering sample drugs at £1 a shot.We sent an e-mail to every elected member of Milton Keynes Council asking them to contact schools in their wards and make sure this was not happening in the communities they represent. NOT ONE BOTHERED TO REPLY !

That would have been a complete waste of time. At best we would have been told to dial 101 and report what we had seen. It takes an age to get an answer on 101 - did you know this is NOT a free phone service ? The operator would have taken the details, put this into a file and forgotten all about it !
Dealing Class A drugs is by far the most prolific crime in Milton Keynes, it happens many, many time every day yet neither Milton Keynes Council nor Thames
This can not be right ! It has to change. No point in wasting time and effort trying to engage our members of parliament, we do not have a government these days. The change has to come from the community - from YOU and from ME.
I am making a Freedom of Information Request to The Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley Police. We need to know:
During the course of 2018:
How many drug related crimes were reported ?
How many arrests were made for drug offences ?
How many incidents of knife crime were reported ?
How many arrests were made for knife crime ?
From 1st January 2019 to 30th June 2019:
How many drug related crimes were reported ?
How many arrests were made for drug offences ?
How many incidents of knife crime were reported ?
How many arrests were made for knife crime ?
And then to The Coroner's Office:
During the course of 2018:
How many deaths were recorded as a result of drug use ?
How many deaths resulted from knife crime ?
From 1st January 2019 to 30th June 2019:
How many deaths were recorded as a result of drug use ?
How many deaths resulted from knife crime ?
When we have this information we can engage with the senior management of Thames Valley Police and give members the courtesy of explaining their stance.
The whole lot can then be put into the public domain as we seek to alert the public and demand a change of attitude both within Thames Valley Police and Milton Keynes Council.
I believe that all life is sacred, if I find a spider in the bath I will not kill it but catch it and set it free. I do not agree with the death penalty but I would strongly support it being introduced for all dealers found guilty of dealing Class A drugs.
Every day a drug dealer puts at risk more lives than were taken by every
serial killer from Jack The Ripper through to modern times.
The present situation can not be allowed to continue.
YES, my job is that of a Radio DJ but within the community projects I am involved I am indeed obsessed - I am obsessed with protecting our society from these agents of the devil.
