If there are not enough of them then they need to apply some common blo0dy sense and prioritise. Currently they WILL put a trained policeman in a van for a day and tot up the revenue at 17:30. Meantime stuff that is a genuine danger to us all goes unoticed or a blind eye is turned in the name of enhancing statistics and balancing the books. I simply want proper policing back as this thread illustrates.

The trained bloke who is sat in th van will be a civillian - not police.
As far as prioritising, you will find that it is done for us by the control room. We currently have about 150 jobs on the queue waiting for officers to attend with an average shift strength of about 10-15 officers. A normal shift will see anything between 100-200 new jobs which come in of various priorities (from emergency downwards). And also bare in mind that each officer has about 10-15 inquiries ongoing at any one time – and I haven’t started to mention paperwork and bureaucracy.
So, its not that we turn a blind eye. We can only work within the law, we can only be in one place at time and we are all busy - all of the time.

]. Maybe a proper copper would actually ditch the laser and chase down any clearly drunken driver he'd targeted &before they kill someone, but I somehow doubt it. I think in fact you read me wrong and we actually agree that you need greater resources and better political focus and directive to do what people actually want rather than what out of touch Chief Cons or politicians deem best. That includes less of the paperwork that I'm sure you hate! D
