@tkinson I took particular note of this statement as I’ve been saying exactly the same thing for years:

Rice said that “there is a lot in a name; the role of police in society would be better described – as it once was in NSW – as a ‘service’, not a ‘force’, perhaps with a corresponding change in behaviour”.
