This wouldn't be another layer though incog, this is a replacement, and unlike the current system, this would be more open and accountable and be able to respond to the actual concerns of the community, wether that be by tackling different crimes, or educating the community that their percieved issues are incorrect.
Also, instead of 7-9 officials, it would be just one.

Really? Then how come I had 27 f'ing undealt with incidents????
Why were people afraid to park their cars by their homes?
Why were the firebrigade such regular visitors?
Why did it take an hour to respond to a 999 call?
Why when I told the police that a wanted criminal was in the area did they take so long to arrive and were so obvious, that he escaped?
And you wonder why I think it would be a good idea to have someone actually accountable for the police's failings and successes???
You live through months of hell, not knowing if you're going to come home to find your windows smashed, your home broken into, your belongings stolen, your house burnt down, your car vandalised.
Spend your time in your home walking round with a metal bar because you don't know when they're next going to break in!
You see your dreams be ripped out from under you and see how you feel.
I was lucky in the end, a very good policeman realised I was being victimised and got the ball rolling at about the same time as family contacts intervined to have something done, but not everyone is that lucky.
