Talk:Kent Police

Rationale for deletion of section on Death of Anne Sanderson

This is written by it's author as a "notable or historic incident". It is neither. It does not represent the history of Kent Police and is a single incident in which a person died. Written in isolation, with no other notable or historic incidents it seems that the author has a agenda or connection with this particular story. It's sole reference is another Wikipedia article, no news source or other commentary. I have now deleted it for a second time. Kent6 (talk) 14:59, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Incident is notable as it is the first fatal shooting of a woman by UK police in 27 years (and first time shooting was deliberate). Notable for that alone. Your user id suggests you have more of an agenda than I do for this. I am now putting this back. If you don't like it, request 3rd party intervention. --Cziltang mexico (talk) 02:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Correct on the Wiki-only citation, which was a weak reference. Now updated and strengthened with BBC News reference. Yes, it was a single incident and may not reflect the history of Kent Police, but regardless of that, it is still a noticeable incident in its own right.--Schrodinger's cat is alive (talk) 08:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

TV appearances

See WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Wikipedia is not an exhaustive list of every single TV appearance by anyone, let alone a police force. For that reason I copy-edited the list and then trimmed the list down to only what is referenced. Even then it could be considered too long. --10mmsocket (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Force HQ moved from Maidstone

BBCTV just broadcast a clip from "Police HQ in Northfleet". So the move recorded in 2020 as being planned has now happened. If someone has details and a source, an update would be useful. Otherwise I may eventually get round to doing it myself!

[Also, I don't consider it right that the PCC which is a politician should be included at the head of that list above the Chief Constable; although he is responsible for the force he is not a member of it.] --Sussexonian (talk) 13:41, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Regarding the PCC / chief constable comment, that's a function of the globally-used infobox. The "electeetype" person is listed before "chief1" and "chief2". If you want to fix it you'd need to modify the infobox, which I'm guess would need consensus. 10mmsocket (talk) 13:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
