Hugh, my son works for the police, they used be front line officers, but they are not, they are pressed really hard to keep up with 'l' calls, and yet cannot.
They are closing police stations each day, you MUST have law enforcement on the streets in
www.thesun.co.uk today page 9, it states that frontline officers spend less time on the streets due to paperwork.
The cutbacks in the police service are hard hitting. Next year there are plans to make a further 5.000 police officers redundant.
I can never understand why members seem to have this idea that there are bobbies on the street and they can deal with crime, well l can assure you that they are overstretched.
