Article Text Update 22nd Sept 2009

The majority of the text entred here is an edit I did on the BBC News profile of Matt Baggott. Please feel free to change or add other sources. I merely added the text I did so that some information would be available on Wikipedia on the day of such an important appointment as head of the PSNI.

Please note that you cannot just copy and paste from the BBC News website. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why has Baggott been promoted after failure?

Why has Baggott been promoted to his current position after refusing to acknowledge his outright failure and the deterioration of Leicestershire policing under his command. Ref: Fiona Pilkington case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.186.7 (talk) 19:19, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because one media story with incomplete facts does not outweigh years of excellence as evidenced by statistics and independent awards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voiceofcommonsense (talk • contribs) 09:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please note that this is an encyclopaedia and not a soapbox. This talkpage is to discuss changes to the article, not opinions on the subject. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Years of service

Years of service states 1969 onwards. Cannot be right. Needs to be 1979?

Well spotted. I've removed it as I can't immediately find a source for this. Dalliance (talk) 12:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
