I have always supported the police and believe they are damned if they do and damned if they don't but even i hear more and more about lacklustre policing. I can understand that putting in a lot of work and getting nowhere is demoralising but tbh thats life and surely anyone that joins a police force knows what they are getting into if not initially then at some point in the training.

Get two officers back in cars in fact always have pairs of officers and get more of them out of the cars and back on the beat. A police car driving past any given area is effective for maybe 20-30 secs an officer on the beat is effective a lot longer. As for the argument that cars can cover greater distance and more often is rubbish and police officers become non personal and the people they serve relate to the car not the officer.

Get the police back out into community's get them building relationships with people and watch crime go down. Right now i only see a police officer when i report something and them coming to my door makes it clear i have reported which in turn does not encourage me to do it and make myself and my family a target. If police officers routinely visited homes for chats and to introduce themselves and build relationships they would get greater local intelligence and also would mean less chance of people being targeted for giving information.
