The ‘Putney Pusher’ case has resurfaced in recent months after an inquest into a suspect's death was opened… but after 9 years, we are still no closer to an ID.

So what are the processes of the police in identification and could there be new clues uncovered after all this time? Andy and Neil answer your questions.

Then: what it really takes to make a film like Andy's recent ‘London gangs special report’. What goes on behind the scenes and how many months of build up does it take to complete?

Plus, what is a serving officer obliged to do off duty? And how much of the law do you take into your personal life? Neil explains all on why the badge is a 24/7 responsibility.

And the case for prevention: Glasgow's decade-long experiment, youth workers waiting at hospital bedsides, and the chicken shop moment that explains what policing is really about.

So much of society would be improved if politicians were able / willing to accept the world still revolves after they leave office.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the drama "The Blame" which was recently on ITV - I know it's obviously enhanced for entertainment purposes but it does touch on a lot of the cases you've covered here about bad actors in the police force and overall culture issues in certain departments/stations, there's also a scene in one of the episodes which features a group chat between officers that includes actual messages from officers who were dismissed for misconduct so it would be interesting to hear you talk about how that was represented

When I was a nursing auxiliary you develop a similar level of busybody-ness and I remember once sitting on the bus on the way home from a night shift watching a very VERY drunk man hovering on the edge of unconsciousness and clocked four other members of the nursing team glaring at him like ‘don’t you fucking dare pal I want to get home to my bed’ 🤭

Thank you for recognising the importance of youth workers. They are too often the first part of the workforce to be cut.

Ingestion isn't a crime in the US, just possession.

Andy sounds like he was used by the police to spread their propaganda, I am not at all impressed with his pompous gloating self-importance.

Someone will recognize him from that photo. The clothes, the chubby legs, the face, hair...

Surly people now who he is the picture is clear as day, his family and friends most be keeping silent, or he work's in the intelligence industry like M15 M16 and can't be publicly identified.

A question for the next Q & A
Can the UK tradition of policing by consent survive in todays fractured society or is a move towards a paramilitary style of policing inevitable?
