Detective Sergeant Dave Speight spent three decades hunting down and locking up some of Britain’s most violent criminals.
He led a specialist unit at Leicestershire police focused on dismantling gangs wreaking havoc on the country and taking guns off the streets.
DS Speight, 63, helped put away criminals who were responsible for some of the most horrific crimes imaginable.
From a 17-year-old rapist who tried to bludgeon his victim to death with a concrete slab to a bungling hit squad who tried to gun down the wrong target, the former cop caught hundreds of criminals.
Their sentences added together, DS Speight is responsible for criminals receiving around half a millennium in jail time.
However, the top detective has revealed all is not well in British policing.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, DS Speight said vital police resources and manpower are being diverted to deal with woke ideals.
Cops are having to sit behind their desks, dealing with safeguarding paperwork, while others are forced to do other agencies’ jobs by protecting mentally ill people.
Others are even getting forced to police Pride marches instead of catching criminals, leaving Britain’s streets exposed and making them a haven for gangs.
Leicestershire Police have a dedicated LGBT+ social media account where they post images of officers posing and abseiling with pride and trans flags, as well as going to schools to speak about hate crimes.
