Send us a textI had a powerful and inspiring conversation with Nigel Best, whose journey spans over 40 years of service in Nottingham. From his beginnings as a postman to becoming a teacher and eventually working in diversity and inclusion within the Nottinghamshire Police, Nigel's story is one of transformation, mentorship, and deep community engagement. He shared how his experiences as part of the Windrush generation shaped his identity and passion for education, and how DJing taught him adaptability—skills he later used to connect with youth and support underrepresented groups. We talked about everything from youth violence and media influence to the importance of empathy, authenticity, and proactive mentorship in both policing and education. Nigel's path—from guiding young teachers to launching his own successful diversity consultancy—shows how personal growth and cultural identity can be powerful tools for change.ACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREPODCAST GIFT - Get your FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXHAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Today, we look at whether the system failed victims of the Nottingham attacks. Families of the victims of the Nottingham attacks are calling for a public inquiry into the case. Valdo Calocane was given a hospital order on Thursday for killing Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, as well as Ian Coates, 65, in June. But Mr Webber's parents said they were "horrified" and "disgusted" there were no immediate plans for an inquiry.Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Ifti Majid said the organisation had "robustly" reviewed its treatment of Calocane between May 2020 and September 2022. Nottinghamshire's police and crime commissioner Caroline Henry said the attacks were a tragedy that no-one could have foreseen. However, she said she was seeking reassurance from Nottinghamshire Police over outstanding warrants. She said she was confident the force delivered a good service overall but there was "always room for improvement".James is joined by Chair of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS mental health trust and former inspector, Zoe Billingham, former director of public prosecutions, Lord Ken MacDonald and East Midlands today reporter, Emily Anderson.And, three US troops have been killed in a drone attack on a US base in Jordan.

A knife-wielding assailant stabbed two university students to death in the streets of the English city of Nottingham and then fatally stabbed a middle-aged man, stole his van and ran down three pedestrians in a shocking rampage early on Tuesday morning (GMT), police said. Police arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of murder. The Nottinghamshire Police force said investigators believe the perpetrator acted alone and detectives were working with counter-terrorism officers to try to establish a motive. “This is a horrific and tragic incident which has claimed the lives of three people,” Chief Constable Kate Meynell said. A man who was among the people struck in the hit-and-run was hospitalised in critical condition. The dead included two 19-year-old students from the University of Nottingham. “We are shocked and devastated by the news,” the school said in an announcement. A graduation ball scheduled for Tuesday evening was cancelled. One of the victims has been identified as Barnaby Webber, 19, with his grandparents saying that his parents ‘are in bits' about the news. Phil and Jenny Robson, the victim's grandparents, said: “We are still unsure what has gone on at the moment. “Barnaby's parents are in bits as you can imagine, but they are with officers from Nottinghamshire Police as we speak. The knife attack on the students occurred around dawn in an area near student housing a short walk from the university's Jubilee Campus. A caller reported that two stabbing victims were lying in the street. Police think the attacker then killed a man in his 50s and took his van, Meynell said. His body was found on a different street more than a kilometre from the first crime scene. About 90 minutes after the initial attack, witnesses were horrified as they watched the van plough into pedestrians and flee. Police officers block a road in Nottingham where police say three people have been found dead, and three others were hit by a van in linked incidents. Photo / AP Lynn Haggitt was on her way to work when a white van pulled up beside her at 5.30am. She saw the driver look in his mirror and spot a police car approaching slowly from behind without its emergency lights on. The driver then accelerated and struck a man and woman at a street corner, she said. “He went straight into them. He didn't even bother to turn,” Haggitt told reporters. “The woman went on the curb, the man went up in the air, there was such a bang, I wish I never saw it. It's really shaken me up.” The driver then sped through the city center with police on his tail, she added. Haggitt said the wounded man appeared to have a head injury but was helped to his feet. The woman was sitting on the curb and appeared to be OK. A third pedestrian was struck on the same street, police said. Two of the hit-and-run victims had minor injuries, Meynell said. Police officers block off a road in Nottingham where three people have died in a van attack in the city centre. Photo / AP “We believe these three incidents are all linked, and we have a man in custody,” the police chief said. “We are keeping an open mind as we investigate the circumstances surrounding these incidents and are working alongside Counter Terrorism Policing to establish the facts, as we would normally do in these types of circumstances.” After stopping the van, officers subdued the suspect with a Taser before detaining him. University of Nottingham student Kane Brady said he awoke to loud shouts of “armed police” and heard what sounded like a gunshot outside. He said he saw officers holding stun guns and a man being dragged out of the van and pinned on the ground. “I saw him getting arrested, him trying to resist,” Brady told British broadcaster GB News. “When they opened the van, I saw a large knife being pulled out and then straight away, that's when police closed off both roads.” Photos showed the hood of the van dented and cracks in the windshield. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called it a shocking incident and asked that police be given time to investigate the crime. “My thoughts are with those injured, and the family and loved ones of those who have lost their lives,” Sunak said. Nottingham is a city of about 350,000 people some 175 kilometres north of London. Images on social media showed police, some with rifles, standing near cordons at several locations in the city centre. The city's tram network said it suspended all services. - Jill Lawless, Brian Melley, AP with Telegraph UKSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reporter Cara McGoogan investigates shocking claims of bullying, sexual harassment and violence within the ranks of the police towards female officers. When the revelations about toxic behaviour at Charing Cross Police Station emerged, including WhatsApp messages boasting of graphic sexual violence against female police, officers up and down the country would have been deleting their messaging history. So says an ex-officer who has spoken to Cara McGoogan: “There'll be a lot of people worried about the information they've shared.” But the behaviour goes much deeper than WhatsApp messages. Female officers tell Cara they have been bullied, harassed, emotionally abused and sexually assaulted - all at the hands of their colleagues. They paint a picture of a broken system - victims are punished, perpetrators promoted. As Cara's investigation deepens, more and more women approach her from inside the police, Some, having won sex discrimination complaints, feel free to speak openly. Others feel intimidated, too fearful of reprisals and revenge. Disloyalty is often punished, “career suicide” says an anonymous speaker. Others say the police operate like a gang, protecting their own and pushing out women who ‘grass'. Sue Fish, former chief constable at Nottinghamshire Police, strongly disputes the defence of a few ‘bad apples'. So are the police guilty of institutional misogyny - and a cover-up?

Over the last two months there have been multiple reports of assaults in nightclubs with needles. This is alongside increased reports of drink spiking. In Nottingham, one woman woke up in bed the next day with no memory, another woman woke up in hospital both displaying needle stick injuries. Further reports of paralysis and the concern of wating weeks for test results to confirm they have not been infected with HIV or other potential illnesses/diseases. As of 23 October 2021, the NPCC had also collected 198 reports of drink spiking, in addition to the 56 reports of incidents involving a needle.  Report by fullfact.org have provided the following alleged assaults: Nottinghamshire Police have since said they are investigating 15 separate incidents, reported within less than a month, of young women and men being jabbed with “something sharp”.  Two men, aged 18 and 19, have been arrested by Nottinghamshire Policeon suspicion of conspiring to administer poison, but not in connection with any specific reports of spiking either via injection or drinks. They have since been released under investigation.  Sussex Police is investigating seven reports of womenbeing spiked via injection in Brighton and Eastbourne. Hampshire Constabulary has said it is investigating one report of a woman being spiked by injection at a nightclub in Portsmouth.  Lancashire Constabulary has confirmed it is investigatingafter a woman reported being injected with an unknown substance in Preston. Norfolk Constabulary has said it has received six reports of people either being spiked or injected.  Wales Online reports that four women in Swanseaclaimed to have been spiked by injection, though these have not been confirmed. South Wales Police has said it had received “a small number of reports from people” who believed they had been spiked via injection, and was investigating.  The Scottish Sunalso reported four stories of suspected spiking with a needle across Scotland, with cases in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen.  Freedom of Information requests collected by Sky News and published in 2018 found that reported incidents of spiking had doubled in three years. The BBC reported in 2019 that there had been a rise in the number of cases, with 2,600 reported incidents in England and Wales since 2015. The information can be found here : What do we know so far about reports of ‘spiking' with needles? - Full Fact There are calls for security to be bolstered at nightclubs with extra bag and pocket searches. There have been nationwide conversations about the crime and inspired a boycott of nightclubs and bars dubbed ‘Girls Night In' where nightclubs were boycotted on 11 October. But there was also criticism that women staying home was not the answer to this big problem. With universities now back and bars full again, universities are running campaigns to raise awareness. TikTok has been flooded with videos showing just how easy it is to spike a drink with a small distraction to the drink holder, again to raise awareness. The question is whether spiking has increased dramatically recently, or whether this is now only once again hitting the headlines raising awareness. Different companies have now come up with further safety measures for drink covers, such as a hair scrunchie that can be placed over the drink like a cap so you may put a straw through. The difficulty with such spiking, is that if the impact is delayed to the victim or this is not caught on CCTV, catching the perpetrator may prove very difficult to police. Of statistics obtained so far, it would seem this is impacting both male and female victims equally, despite the coverage forming this is a larger risk to females.

For over three years, I've been in a relationship with someone I am so in love with. I mean, he's not without his faults. He drinks a little too much but it's fine, I deal with it. Yeah, he pushes me around and hits me sometimes but we love each other and things just get heated. It's totally fine. I've called police many times, they've helped out and things go back to normal. Our relationship isn't perfect but we love each other. In March 2011, a heated argument went too far. I never thought it would happen but the man I trusted so much and loved…he killed me.

When Feron was 16-years-old, a local beat officer would often have informal chats with him when he played football with his friends. These encounters inspired him to explore a career in policing. After spending two years as a community protection officer working from Radford Road, he has just completed his first week as a police officer at Nottinghamshire Police. “My main goal has always been to join the police,” explained PC Feron Thomas, who is originally from Wollaton. This episode is also available as a blog post: https://emergency-services.news/informal-chats-with-community-officer-inspires-16-year-old-to-join-the-police-two-years-later/

The audio equivalent of a fine cigar, Paddy Tipping has one of the most soothing voices in politics. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire shares his love of the job and how it compares to his previous life as the MP for Sherwood. He also explains why Nottinghamshire Police received plaudits for their policing of a vigil in the city. Paddy was an anti-war MP and he recalls the pressure he and others felt under at the time of the Iraq vote, caught between his conscience and not wanting to bring down a Labour government. Paddy's warm exterior shouldn't fool you, he's a sharp political brain. Paddy gave Matt his first job in politics and explains why on earth he ever employed him in the first place.

It's exactly a year since Boris Johnson delivered the instruction to stay at home. To mark the occasion, we've assembled three women of different ages, backgrounds and circumstances to discuss their experiences of being confined for the most part in the home. Actor and author Sheila Hancock and writers Kerry Hudson and Yasmin Rahman join Emma. The future of Nicola Sturgeon has been in the balance in recent weeks as she's faced not one but two major inquiries. Yesterday afternoon an independent inquiry by James Hamilton QC cleared the First Minister of breaching the ministerial code. But this morning a separate cross-party committee of inquiry said the Scottish government's handling of harassment complaints against Alex Salmond was "seriously flawed", that Nicola Sturgeon had misled their inquiry in her evidence and that women had been badly let down by the government. Political correspondent Alex Massie, crime writer Val McDermid and Alex Massie from the Spectator join Emma. Last week’s announcement that the police in England and wales are going to start recording misogyny as a hate crime in the wake of the killing of Sarah Everard was heralded as a victory by many women’s rights campaigners but that reaction has been far from uniform. Many groups working in the arena of domestic abuse and violence against women actually think it could be counter productive and even make the situation worse. We talk to Dr Fiona Vera-Gray from the University of Durham who has written The Right Amount of Panic who thinks the move to change the law is a knee jerk reaction and also to Professor Louise Mallany who has worked with Nottinghamshire Police which has recorded misogyny as a hate crime since 2016 Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Lucinda Montefiore

Susannah Fish, former Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police and Olivia Pinkney Chief Constable for Hampshire talk about how confident women can be in reporting crime to the police. We hear from Conroy Harris, CEO of A Band of Brothers, David Challen, domestic violence campaigner and Mike Berry, Consultant Clinical Forensic Psychologist on why men attack women and what can be done to stop it. Why is inclusion in beauty important? Make-up artist and model Sasha Pallari and founder of MDMflow, Florence Adepoju tell us how beauty brands can be more diverse and the damage face-filters can have on mental health. This month marks the 10th anniversary of conflict in Syria. Dr. Rola Hallam, CEO and Founder of CanDo explains why women and children have been disproportionately affected. How has lockdown changed what we want from our handbags? Lucia Savi curator of the V&A's Bags: Inside Out exhibition tells us about the history of handbags and how they will be used after lockdown. Singer-songwriter and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson tells us about her career and sound which she describes as an eclectic, soulful sound with roots in soul, classical, with reggae and jazz influences.

The death of Sarah Everard has led to concerns for women's safety in public. Women have been encouraged to put their trust in the police if facing harassment or any kind of jeopardy. But following last Saturday's vigil on Clapham Common, where the Met police were criticised for their response, just how confident can women be in the police? Did their behaviour at that event reveal an institutional misogyny? Emma talks to Susannah Fish, former Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police force and Olivia Pinkney, Chief Constable for Hampshire, representing the National Police Chief’s Council. We talk to Maria Ressa who is one of the Philippines most outspoken journalists who was named a Time magazine Person of the year in 2018. She’s a vocal critic of President Rodrigo Duterte’s regime and his deadly war on drugs, his attempts to silence the press and the rise of disinformation and fake news on social media. And we hear from Lucia Savi, the curator of a new handbags exhibition at the V&A museum in London about learn how this fashion accessory - like much else in life - has been impacted by the pandemic and lockdown.

“Find your resilience and grow it...you don't just get a finite amount when you're born that just stays with you.”In this episode, I’m lucky enough to speak with I speak with Sue Fish, ex-Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police.We chat about her time as a woman starting her career as a police officer in the mid-80’s; a very different time in the world and a very different time in policing. Some of the stories she told me about the things that her and other female police officers and staff went through, genuinely stunned me. What really stands out about Sue is her defiance and the sheer bravery it must have taken to stand up for herself and for others, particularly other women, as she progressed in her career over the decades. Despite all of this, what also really shines through is the pure pride she had and still has in policing and the incredibly important part it plays in society. You hear how hard it was for her leaving policing after such a long and distinguished career, but also how fulfilling her life is now, which I think is a really positive message.There is so much wisdom in this conversation, but the key thing I got from it is the importance of following your instinct on something – even if you don’t know what the outcome will be or if it goes against the grain of what others expect. That does mean making mistakes and it does mean taking risks and being brave.But if Sue had given into the insecurities she felt at the beginning of her career about whether she thought she would even be any good at policing, what a shame that would’ve been and what a legacy she would have missed out on leaving behind.If you’re interested in listening to more episodes, please subscribe and leave reviews wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Some 2,000 people were evacuated from a music venue after a substance, believed to be pepper spray, was released into the audience. American rapper Lil Pump was performing at Nottingham’s famous Rock City venue when the substance was released. Twenty people needed medical treatment, though it’s not thought anyone was seriously injured during the incident on Friday night. The show was called off, with the venue saying “it is incredibly sad when this type of action ruins the event for everyone”. Hundreds of revellers pictured in the streets outside Rock City after the evacuation (@JamesBStevenson/Twitter) However, videos taken outside Rock City after the evacuation showed Pump continuing to perform on top of his tour bus in front of a huge crowd. Rock City said in a statement: "We are working closely with the police investigating the incident from the show last night where a substance believed to be pepper spray was released in the audience. Police at the scene in Nottingham on Friday night (@JamesBStevenson/Twitter) "We'd like to thank everyone attending the Lil Pump gig for co-operating with our staff so quickly as they worked to evacuate the venue after we stopped the show to ensure public safety. "Police were on the scene quickly and paramedics treated a number of people for minor injuries. Major incident at #RockCity at the #LilPump gig! Sell-out gig evacuated onto the streets. pic.twitter.com/pDhJbxHbl6 -- Harry Rutter (@HRCTJ) November 16, 2018 "Live music is made to bring people together and it is incredibly sad when this type of action ruins the event for everyone." Nottinghamshire Police was appealing on Saturday for video footage of the incident. It said in a statement: "It is usual for events like these to be recorded on mobile phones and cameras, and officers are appealing to anyone with footage in and around the venue at the time of the incident to contact us. "We are treating this incident extremely seriously, however officers are not considering this to be a terror-related."

This week, our 'Lincoln Leads' panellists discuss whether or not misogyny should be crime. In 2016, Nottinghamshire Police made the decision to record misogyny and harassment against women as hate crimes. In this 'Lincoln Leads' session, our panellists debate the controversial question 'should misogyny be a crime'. Shaw Foundation Fellow in Law, Barbara Havelková specialises in gender legal studies and feminist jurisprudence, equality, and anti-discrimination law. She also acts as an advisor to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic on issues of gender and law. She is joined on the panel by Zoe Williams, a leading journalist at The Guardian and New Statesman, who frequently writes on feminist issues including 'The glass ceiling: a metaphor that needs to be smashed' and 'Does the hard-left have an 'old-fashioned misogyny' problem?', as well as doctoral candidate and graduate teaching assistant, Patricia Jimenez Kwast. Patricia has previously worked as an international arbitration associate at a Buenos Aires law firm, as lecturer in international and European law at Utrecht University, and as assistant-attaché at the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of The Netherlands to the United Nations in New York.

Spanish exports reached a historic high in the first nine months of 2016, growing year-on-year in terms of revenue by 1.2%. Data published by the Secretary of State for Commerce on Monday shows that foreign trade has generated €188.49 billion so far this year. What the figures don’t show is that Spain seems to be caught up in the overall slowdown of global trade. The country is performing better than most of its competitors, but its overseas sales have been decelerating steadily since July, to the point that in September, growth was zero. Spain’s minority Popular Party (PP) government will extend the application of the 2016 budget to buy itself more time at the negotiating table, sources at the Finance Ministry have said. Spain’s ruling Popular Party (PP) has presented a reform proposal to Congress that could result in the banning of memes, social network users’ way of gaining comic revenge on the politicians that rule our lives. A Spanish man has taken legal action against health authorities after seeing in cigarette packets what he believes is a photograph of his face with a breathing tube inserted into his mouth during an operation. Ten Kurdish migrants from Iran who were found alive in Spain inside a sealed container belonging to the Mango fashion retailer believed they were bound for Britain. A Spanish businessman has been sentenced to two and half years in prison for the destruction of an archaeological site which experts say held the key to the secrets of human life in Neolithic Spain. Hundreds of thousands of British expats are set to be granted the right to carry on living on the Continent after Brexit after the majority of European Union countries signalled they were ready to do a “reciprocal rights” deal with the UK. A new bill calling for 'Walter Mitty' fraudsters that impersonate Britain's war heroes to be fined or jailed, will be discussed in the House of Commons in Friday. A police force has been accused of discriminating against white straight people after appealing for new recruits from ethnic minorities and the gay community. Nottinghamshire Police tweeted on Sunday: 'Nott's Police are recruiting PCs Jan 2017. If you're from a BME/LGBT+ group and want to join us, call or text Jo: 07595008494 for more info.' Official documents compiled by jail chiefs detail that week’s most high-profile events, including 300 inmates running amok at Bedford jail, causing £1 million of damage, and two prisoners escaping from Pentonville and going on the run. Ministers have quietly drawn up plans to introduce a soft system to speed up dealing with ill-discipline in prisoners who commit ‘lower-level violence’ while still in Britain's jails. Killer Jack Cramb, 24, uses an illegal mobile phone to regularly post topless selfies from his prison cell at at Shotts prison in Lanarkshire where he is serving a life sentence for murder A damning international study of 38 countries found that England, Scotland and Wales are among the worst for physical activity – far behind nations such as Poland and Venezuela. A report has suggested that supermarkets should set up special slow checkout lanes for older customers because they might value the chance of a chat when they do their shopping
