Whilst I sympathise with your emotion, do you ever think before you type?

The 52k officers cover a 24x7x365 shift system, which is usually 4 shifts and day staff - this roughly equates to 11.5k police officers per shift, with approx 15% on holiday/sick at one time, leaving approx 10k per shift, which over 32 London boroughs means around 300 officers per shift per borough.

I am sure they will be calling people in, with extra overtime and double shifts, but these things take time to organise.
