Answer

No - doubt whether Ian Blair's departure will make a difference. He was doing a reasonable job on cutting crime - or rather it was more the financial investment by us the tax-payers into Neighbourhood Policing that has made a difference. But he was the Commander on whose watch that expansion took place. Doubt whether his staying or going would make any difference. What would make more of a difference would be if the local force could set more local targets rather than have to reach the central ones which are not always appropriate to every location MORE!
