About this listen

 This week on Crime Scene – a police force in crisis, collapsing trust, and lawlessness on the streets. How do you bring it back from the brink? We talk to the man who did just that – twice. Sir Stephen Watson, now Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, turned around two of the UK’s most troubled forces: South Yorkshire after Hillsborough and Rotherham, and GMP after it was placed under special measures. He faced resistance, crumbling morale, and a broken system. Former met Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe and ex-Mirror editor Alison Phillips ask: how did he fix it? • Follow Crime Scene on Bluesky and Twitter . Presented by Bernard Hogan-Howe and Alison Phillips. Audio production by Tom Taylor. Music by Simon Williams. Produced by Managing Editor Jacob Jarvis and Group Editor Andrew Harrison. Executive Producer: Martin Bojtos. Thanks to Helen Purvis at Knight Ayton Management. CRIME SCENE is a Podmasters Production www.podmasters.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.
