Talk:Operation Trident (Metropolitan Police)

Dab
There are other "operation Tridents" even within the police. Rich Farmbrough, 14:59 13 September 2006 (GMT).

"now referred to as just Trident"?
The official Met page uses both "Trident" and "Operation Trident". Eg, the title is "Trident", but the first sentence begins "Operation Trident is a special Met Police initiative..." 81.158.1.78 01:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Capitalisation
I see both "black community" and "Black community" used in the article (difference in capitals).

Is Operation Trident really targeting community by colour, rather than by cultural affiliation? If it's really people who identify as Afro-Carribean, the article should probably say so. If we do keep "black", then let's be consistent.

I'm not familiar with the social issues behind the capitalisation, so I can't say which one is more appropriate. I can say that I've only recently started seeing Black as a proper noun, and it seems to be more of an American thing. Heavy Joke (talk) 05:21, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Update
The official site seems to agree that Operation Trident is targeting the "black" community (lower-case).

I've updated the article to match. Heavy Joke (talk) 05:21, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Change of Role
Early in 2012 Trident was expanded to cover all gang related crime in london regardless of a subjects etnic background. This follws the appointment of new Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe last year. Hogan-Howe having initiated a similar inovative and highly succesful anti-gang crime operation when Chief Constable of Merseyside Pollice known as Matrix.

Is or was?
The article uses a mix of past and present tense, making it unclear if this is ongoing. 130.159.84.80 (talk) 22:16, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
