During the Miners' Strike (1984-1985) He worked for the London Borough of Greenwich as the Advisor to the Police Committee, and head of the Police Committee Support Unit. At this time the London Labour Boroughs, headed by the Greater London Council (GLC), were trying to get some local autonomous control over the Metropolitan police and the Police Committees were set up to try and further this aim. It was the job of the Advisor to think of ways in which the Borough Committee could get the police to act on behalf of the council on a community level.
