The very presence of one police officer could prevent crime. The role of a full functional police department is A(the prevention of crime) & B(the detection of crime)
What going on now in the land; after some thing happen police in numbers. Whatever happen to the stop and search lets try to prevent criminal activity by having the police out on the streets
The people tax money pay them to work- I invite anyone to count the number of police in uniform on the streets during your travels around this little place
All we do is beat up on the politicians and rightfully so however law and order on the decline in the land
Since they were auxiliaries I'm going to assume their highest level of education is a high school diploma. This is the problem I have with our police force. We need to raise the level of education for entry into our institutions. They can't solve crimes. Look at the death of that young man. How in the name of Tarnation can you say someone die in a scooter accident when the basic part is missing. Don't they even watch CSI? Don't talk about taking statements. The spelling the grammar atrocious. The length of time they take to type a simple interview!!!! Nobody should enter the police force without the minimum an Associates degree!!
