This is my biggest bug-bear.
Whatever happened to proper community policing? As in the cops actually just spending some time in a town at night outside of their cars rather than just driving around.
My dad was a cop & he knew who all the troublemakers were - knew where they lived and made sure that they knew he knew.
So far my truck's had over a grand's worth of damage done to it by local kids who see it and decide to kick in a door or snap the aerial off. :evil: :evil:
The one time we managed to get a hold of one of the kids throwing a ball at our car on a Saturday night after the others ran off we called the police & were told there were no officers available. :?
I mean [Edited] are we meant to do? Let the little runt go at which point we become bigger targets & the sods know they can get away with it.
I've been walking up the road from the train station on a Friday evening at 6:30 past kids drinking vodka & buckfast in the middle of the town centre.

As far as i understand it the CPS arent involved until the evidence is collected and examined? The SMS messages were only part of it, the picture this person took on their mobile fone of them doing the act and sending it to someone else who offered his phone to the police for them to use the photo and they refused.

Well community policing is back, so the goverment say, I spend most of my day on foot in my beat... anyway cannot comment on indivudal cases. We do need more PCSO's and police officers on the beat its a fact.

Hi
In my mother in law's neighborhood, they put a bobby on the beat for 3 months as an experiment to see if it changed anything - damage, burglaries etc were down 60% over that time cos there was someone walking around.
of course it was an experiment so they have stopped it and guess what? crime has increased back to previous levels
Are they going to put the bobby back - no they have not got the manpower to expend in this area , despite the workload going down 60% in reportable crimes.
the police forces are just a farce nowadays - i am sure the bottom line workers try but they are hamstrung by the policy makers.
regards
ela
