Leading U.S. police officer Bratton would help Britain if asked

British Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament earlier on Thursday that his government wanted to make tackling street gangs a national priority and mentioned Bratton by name as someone Britain could consult.

"If asked, I would be honored to provide my counsel in any capacity they deem helpful," Bratton, chairman of Kroll global risk consulting company in New York, said in a statement in response to Cameron's remarks.

"I would certainly be in a position to discuss the contemporary American experience and my work in these areas, in particular the successes that created real reductions in gang-related crime in Boston, New York and most recently in Los Angeles where we also saw significant improvements in the relations between the police and the city's diverse communities," he said.
