Cover Image Description: Photo of a senior police officer walking down a busy street with a group of children. Headline: Spot a Chief Constable—score 40 points. Caption: Sir Peter Matthews plays Pied Piper of Guildford. In an effort to help the police by making school children more observant, Surrey Crime Prevention Panel handed out 5,000 ‘Spot It’ booklets listing prominent landmarks and personalities. Youngsters are awarded points for spotting them. A major ‘catch’ is a chief constable in uniform which carries the maximum 40 points, a difficult task as chief constables rarely pound the beat. So Sir Peter put things right by going ‘walkabout’.
