    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

Have the police gone mad?

Not quite; if there's any tacit encouragement, it's from the Christian Police Association, not from any particular Force. The police won't actively squash anything like this because it's a basic form of intelligence that they perhaps don't get these days. Though wooish to us, Christianity is of course an established recognised religion. I would hope that there would be a significant perceived difference on the part of the police powers that be, if this involved psychics. I also don't think that what's being pushed by the CPA can't really affect cases in the way that assisting "psychics" can (ie negatively).

This article is written in a somewhat obtuse manner.

After reading the article, I don't think their intention is to use prayer to eradicate or subdue "all" crime but rather as more of an awareness thing for churches with a faith element.... although it would be easy to derive your original conclusion the way it was written.
 
Greater Manchester had a Chief Constable, James Anderton, who believed he spoke with God. Anyone remember him?
 
I find it stikenly funny that this is one of the countries Pilgrims left for the new world to establish freedom of religion. :D

Ah yes, God's cop! I'd forgotton all about him. Still, he inspired a great Happy Monday's song.

Nono -- their goal wasn't freedom of religion, it was to have their religion be the one on top, so they could persecute followers of other religions. Which they did with great vim -- branding, flogging, and dragging through the streets those who didn't follow the one officially sanctioned religion.
 
The American idea of religious liberty developed about a century later than the Puritan Pilgrims.

Sometimes it's retrospectively credited to them.
