• Free up those officers! Bang up the burglars!

    Police: 3000 burglaries a day NFA

    Due to lack of resources the police in E&W are closing more than a million cases of burglary and theft every year with NFA after the initial report.

    This is the time to ask the question as to whether the police can afford to follow up on ‘cases’ where a driver has not collided with a cyclist.

    Freeing up these officers would mean they could be deployed on at least a
    basic follow-up to a report of a burglary or theft report, as it is known
    that once burgled, the chances of a repeat of the crime is a staggering
    25%, and effective action can be taken to mitigate against this, especially when police officer offers advice on countermeasures. At present,
    conviction rates are very low.

    It’s time the police stopped pussy-footing about with non-crimes like ‘close passes’ and tackled real issues.

    Police are too busy these days dealing with members of the public wielding cameras of mass destruction.
