Violent crime has grabbed the headlines over the last few months with policing very much at the centre of the debate around how to tackle the ongoing epidemic.

In Episode 3 of our podcast series, National Chair John Apter and Operational Policing Lead Simon Kempton discuss the surge in violent crime and the importance of officers having access to vital protective equipment to be able to do their jobs.

How to listen to our FedCasts

Listening to a podcast is similar to listening to a radio programme. It is a digital audio file that can be streamed or downloaded from the internet and listened to on various digital devices and through numerous online services. A lot of people listen on their phone, but you can also listen on a desktop PC.
