With your alleged level of education, surely you’d know it’s boss’. As you were.

With singular nouns ending in double 's', as in your examples, Jeff, I think it is more normal to add apostrophe 's' ('s) because the spelling with apostrophe s then indicates the pronunciation required:
'The boss's secretary resigned.'
'The princess's diamonds were worth two million pounds.'
I mean the above in the interests of discussion as a part of trying to improve my average writing skills, as opposed forum pedantry. 'The boss's secretary resigned.'
'The princess's diamonds were worth two million pounds.'

I’ve arrested/interviewed/charged (conservatively) over a thousand people during my time in the cops. That includes murderers, child abusers, “high level” drug dealers, shoplifters, “one punch killers”, those who’ve killed people behind the wheel, fraudsters, rapists, burglars, you name it, over 22 years, I’ve pretty much dealt with them all. The one “common factor” between the vast majority of them is how relatively “normal” they’ve been.I’ve had to put my arm round the shoulders of all sorts of suspects, both literally and figuratively, in the custody office. Offenders really do come from every strata of society. The really “bad” ones are actually in a very small minority, but those are the ones who have actually scared me. The old “dead behind the eyes” thing, the real sociopaths. Many people “get into” crime through circumstance and there’s very often an element of “there but for the grace of god”...
It really is those few “outliers” who are the frightening ones. I guess most of us aren’t that far from someone who’s done something really unpleasant (in fact, one of my cousins was convicted of downloading indecent images of children).
We brought in a chap who'd been buggering his nephew for three or four years. The DS who interviewed him put his arm around his shoulder and walked him to the interview room. I was asked to bring tea. The bloke coughed before he sat down, a full and frank. All the DS had to do was shower afterwards. You'd have sat next to this bloke on a bus and maybe chatted to him without guessing what sort of bloke he was. Can't do that with some briefs though.

And my view of “normal” is probably a bit jaundiced after 22 years of it!
There's your answer. Weirdo 
Seriously though, I found it a bit strange sometimes interacting with "normal" people rather than the usual standard of clientelle.
Or maybe I'm a weido too.
Sadly, those people tend to be elderly and a bit lonely, so it never really feels like a chore chatting to them. When I was in uniform and out and about more, two or three became regular, if infrequent, brew stops.
Unfortunately, there are colleagues of mine who’ve taken that too far and ended up in “relationships”, usually with vulnerable victims who they have taken advantage of. The officers’ “best” outcome was getting sacked. A few ended up in prison for misconduct in public office and rightly so (a couple or three of the ones I know of who dodged prison should’ve ended up there too).

Huddersfield Daily Examiner interviewed his dad on their Facebook page a week or so ago. He’s still maintaining his son was as legit as they come. When asked about the machete found in his sons room he said it was just an ‘ornament’. When asked about the body armour he said they had someone staying over at their house briefly and he must have left the body armour behind lol.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but, given the CCTV cameras surrounding his house, and the company his son was keeping, and the machete, and the body armour, there comes a point when you have to accept that NOBODY can be that naive and/or deluded, there's really only one conclusion....Alpinestars said:

When somebody is so clearly as dodgy AF why don't police or HMRC look closely at their declared earning and assets and start asking questions?ker. Countdown said:

Also, as others here say; why no investigation into the course of wealth? Of course, for all we know, that is running in parallel and is ongoing. Certainly HMRC are seldom backward in coming forward in such instances, if they can see a case.
Haven’t watched it yet but the bbc are doing a series on West Yorkshire's drug turf wars.
How did my sleepy hometown become a violent crime hotspot?I returned to Huddersfield to write an article about a police shooting. I found violence, rumours and a wall of silence.

Some really interesting points made in the article. I'm gonna watch the series. I suspect the pattern is repeated in a lot of places around the country. I know it's the same story in Shadwell in East London, for instance.https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p07bn33z/ho...

The continued family denial is hilarious.
Huddersfield and it's scrotes are no different to anywhere else.
There's money to be made and a queue of scrotes willing to do the dirty work at street level.
I disagree Huddersfield and it's scrotes are no different to anywhere else.

Places like Huddersfield, Bradford, Burnley, Blackburn and Oldham have very real social and economic problems, divided communities and cultural issues that are very complex and not found in most parts of the UK
