Episode 412: Why sign London's top cop to a big contract extension?

London Police Chief Thai Truong - just two and a half years in to his original five year deal - has signed a contract extension with the service that goes until the end of 2031. That's a lot of term. So, why did the London Police Services Board give it? Why did the chief want to sign it? Truong and board chair Ryan Gauss joined Craig on the podcast to breakdown those questions and take a look at the state of policing in London. Open air drug enforcement, violent crime, gang enforcement. What's working? What's not?  Those questions and more on the Craig Needles Podcast, brought to you by Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market.
