The aim was not just to update the public on the murder of Joanna Yeates but also to help the investigation gain new evidence and develop lines of inquiry.
Police have become adept at using the media in high-profile cases, says Tarique Ghaffur, a former head of Scotland Yard's homicide command who went on to establish the specialist crime directorate.
He is commending Avon and Somerset Police on walking the public through "Police Procedures" and he establish the specialist crime directorate.
Past cases have shown that there are three key ways by which media appeals help the police.
The first is a straightforward appeal for witnesses. The second is when police want to rule in, or out, of their investigation someone close to the victim.
"If you have a suspect, you can put them before the media and put the person on public view to see if their behaviour seems normal," Ghaffur says. "A psychologist can help you do this. Behavioural science is becoming quite important."
The third way media appeals help is by monitoring the reaction of a suspect to the release of information by police. Does their reaction seem normal, do they even start to make admissions?
Ghaffur says: "Giving lots of detail adds pressure on a suspect. Avon and Somerset [police] … have introduced the senior investigating officer, giving more facts about the supermarket receipts and other details. It helps close the net."
I found it curious that Tarique Ghaffur, would find himself on the pages of the media in relation to The Joanna Yeates case ... He too knows that there was more than "One Receipt" that was never produced at trial... we only here about The Tesco's receipt....
So what was "The other receipt from???" because if it was Bargain Booze or Waitrose, why didn't they produce it??
I'm unsure as to whether or not that it was a bit of self promoting or his vast experience was called upon in this case...
There has been untold amounts of high profile Investigators attached to This Case,.. which considering that it was a "Simple Murder Case" has one wondering why??
The "Specialist Crime Directorate ....
The Specialist Crime Directorate (SCD) was one of the main branches of the London Metropolitan Police Service. It dealt with highly visible specialist policing services across the whole of London and provided highly visible specialist policing services across the whole of London. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley previously led the directorate but it's now led by Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick. The Directorate led national police agency with regard to specialist crime investigations such as e-crime, sex crimes (paedophile unit) or kidnappings, hostage taking and contract killings.
This made me wonder whether or not Tarique Ghaffur had any input into The Joanna Yeates Case... The amount of "Visible" Police Officers around at that time was immense. Again we can see it covers "Complex Crimes "...

Did Avon and Somerset Police use the services of "CSD GLOBAL LIMITED" ?? Because I really do not understand why Tarique Ghaffur, felt the need to have his face emblazened across The Guardian Newspaper on the 28th December 2010, The day after DCI Phil Jones was put in charge of 'The Joanna Yeates Murder Investigation"....
It's possible... As me and mrswah would agree... Anything is possible in this case...
