Headline:
Your top cop needs to be a cheerleader, a tightrope walker - and an optimist
Synopsis:
CRIME-BUSTING US police chief Bill Bratton has revealed the skills he says the UK’s next top cop will need to help mend Broken Britain.
The LAPD boss — famous for his zero-tolerance approach to crime — is a leading contender to replace ousted Sir Ian Blair as London’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
The Sun brought Chief Bratton to the UK to attend our summit on Broken Britain last week.

“It’s like a fighter who gets knocked down. Every time he gets up he is weaker, and eventually it appears the mayor basically lost confidence in him.
