IT would be interesting to get the views on the proposed move by the police force to allow people who have a criminal record to join the Force. I fervently hope it does not include murderers, rapists, terrorists and the like. We have to have faith in our officers.
For minor offences and traffic misdemeanours, say, committed in the distant past, there well may be a case for forgiveness and a new chance to serve society. Maybe the saying was apt, whoever thought it up --' It takes a thief to catch a thief.'
