Mr Smith takes the view that police officers are some of the most political people he has ever come into contact with. They are always lobbying for more money, more laws and generally for making it easier to prosecute even more people, despite the fact that they clear up a fraction of all the crimes that are actually committed.
So Mr Smith was interested to read a bit about Strathclyde Police's next Chief Constable, Stephen House, who made his name not in Scotland but at the Metropolitan Police in London and who will take over from Sir Willie Rae later in the year.
Congratulations and welcome to one of the most "political" jobs in Scotland, Mr House, and to the six figure salary and guaranteed knighthood that goes along with it.
