As with that august body, Sharpie was initially funded by the Home Office and then, financially, the plug was pulled. Perhaps the statisticians, crime experts (who have never personally dealt with a crime) and spin doctors, believed that, as with PCSOs, the funds for future editions would come from Police budgets. Personally, I found The Sharp End extremely handy. I wasn't allowed to apply for a stand for my computer screen but found that, by placing it on 11 stacked copies, it was JUST the correct height for me. So I would like to thank the editors and publishers for producing this rag mag as it certainly changed this officer's life for the better (alternatively I could have used flattened toilet rolls but they were useful!).
