Alasdair sighed "most forces are the same and they are heading for change. The newspapers make us out to be the bad guys when we are trying to uphold the law. Regardless of what we do. We will always be made out to be in the wrong. That's why I intend to protect everyone on this force as best as we can. And that includes with out new inspector aswell"

He continued "I wont feed you to the wolves or anyone else. Ill put my neck on the line first to protect us. We all make a difference. The problem with your last sargeant is he was a short timer counting paychecks till retiring and would do anything to save his pension. You have nothing to fear with me. Stick with me and you will be ok"
