All that is ever said is what a good job they do under difficult circumstances and how the crime figures, despite looking like they are going up are, in fact, coming down.<br /><br />I am yet to hear anyone in authority say ‘Well actually, the police are crap and desperately need to improve’.<br /><br />I am unsure why this is, as anyone who has ever had any dealings with the police is well aware of their shortcomings.<br /><br />In recent years they have adopted the view that DNA, zero tolerance and CCTV’s are the way forward. <br /><br />This clearly is a mistake that nobody is brave enough to rectify.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-45885479220376084692010-03-03T14:27:02.648+00:002010-03-03T14:27:02.648+00:00What a waste of time and money!

With jobsworths like this in the force, we can all sleep more easily in our beds, I don't think!I wonder how this constable would manage dealimg with a real criminal, rather than easy targets?
