"Lincolnshire Police gets a brid's eye view with GeoPerspectives aerial imagery
Leicestershire, UK, 14 August 2008 - The latest high-resolution aerial photography is set to assist Lincolnshire Police in the fight against crime and their response to major incidents. The Lincolnshire Force has taken delivery of a countywide GeoPerspectives aerial photomap, supplied by aerial survey company Bluesky. The photography is already being accessed by some users of the Force’s Intranet and work is also underway to integrate the photomap as a data layer within their geographical information system (GIS) so that the aerial photography can be viewed within the Force Command and Control System."
Which is nothing to write home about, were it not for the name of the PR sending me this:
Robert Peel.
You'll never take me alive, copper...

The only Peel reference I can dredge up from memory is Mrs. Emma Peel, the chop-socky accomplice of John Steel (?) in the Avengers TV series. She defined socially acceptable black leather for quite some time in the sixties and seventies.
Can't be that Peel. I guess I have to Google it.
OK I got a little history lesson. Cool now I get it. Kind of like having the family name Rockefeller, or Bush!
More like Hoover, but more geeky.
It's been a while since police were called Peelers, and bobby has turned into a tabloid headline word only found in idiom. And the only pub I know named after the man is at the heart of one of North London's more scofflaw zones.
Mind how you go.
