The Public Safety Foundation
Recorded in April 2024, this episode of the Safety Matters podcast, with Rory Geoghegan and Oliver Laurence, reflects on what Britain can learn from Commissioner Bill Bratton’s leadership and the transformation of policing in New York City.
Exploring the Commissioner’s journey into policing and how he brought together and was shaped by other crime-fighting and leadership talent, from Robert Di Grazia in Boston to Jack Maple in NYC – the Commissioner takes us on a journey with him through this career.
From “Broken Windows” to a relentless focus on consequences, we explore what worked in NYC—and whether British policing has drifted from those principles.
We discuss the impact on the criminal justice system, the crisis in police leadership, and the urgent need for policing to rebuild and rediscover its mission and capacity for cutting crime.
This episode is a call to action for anyone serious about restoring order, rebuilding trust, and protecting the public.
