They're talking to themselves and only kidding themselves. No-one is convinced, not with 22,000 less coppers wandering about.

It says "“It is clear from the survey that police visibility remains very important to the public". That kind of contradicts whats happened though as visibility of the Rozzers has decreased surely. Well it seems to have up here. I cant remember the last time I saw a Rozzer on the beat, even in Darlo. I think there is still a Police station in Barnard Castle but its only open from ten till three week days and run by the same bloke. This is him with his car on his way to an emergency. Probably to bash some pissed up farmers on the head with his Truncheon.

I think they should bring those Austen 1300s back. Proper Panda Cars, Maybe the Ford Angle Box as well with a proper blue tit on the roof, and a Nah nah siren or better still a bell!!

I started my service with Ford Angulars, then Morry 1100s and those fuck-awful Austin Aggros. The one I liked, experimental in London, was the little Sunbeam Imp - I loved it, but some fat twat on the other Relief rolled it - you weren't ever in the Police, were you Baz?? No bells or sirens on Met Pandas though. Not in my time anyway.

Is the Sunbeam Imp the same as a Hillman Imp? If so they were a bloody death trap as soon as it got wet. I knew someone who had one and it spent more time going backwards on every corner when ever it even looked like rain.

Yep, the same as a Hillman Imp but with a different trim level. A nice little car. That was the one where the colleague who'd chucked a firebucket of water at us from the canteen window, was then pursued with the hosepipe, jumped into the Sunbeam, locked the doors and sat there laughing and flicking the vees at us. Except that he'd forgotten about the tailgate. That was opened and the hosepipe directed into the car...

Cressida Dick has a bit of a bloody nerve to say that she is disappointed...try going from call to call and pretty much everyone you come into contact with has some sarky comment to greet you with. Those doing the face to face contacts with the public are the ones who are 'disappointed' in fact generally completely pissed off with having to explain why it took them a couple of days to come to the house to report the 'nasty' comment they have received on Fartbook or Twatter.
Front line officers have to cover the calls that come in, these calls are now at their highest volume with regards to the 'he said, she said' brigade that require other people to manage their lives for them in the real world whilst they wallow in their social media cloud. All these extra jobs are picked up by the 'few' who are taking up the slack of the ever decreasing workforce. Chuck in the fact that an officer is assaulted every twenty minutes and the high level of stress related sickness and something is going to give. No wonder the governments (all parties) don't want the police to have the power to go out on strike.
She was right to point out that the hours and hours of social media trawling officers that are now required to undertake with some cases so that the Crown Prosecution and the defense lawyers now demand. You don't need to be a fully trained officer to wade through the diatribe of social 'banter' of which certain generations now spend an estimated 6-8 hours a day tapping away to each other.

Well said, Tel.
I was sick to death of those self-congratulatory diatribes that regularly cascaded down from on high. We used to get loads of them at Scotland Yard, which must be THE hub for their creation. Missives that bore no relation to "reality" (at least, not MY reality) and had been created to bullshit the Home Office, the Minister, or some "focus group" or other. If they spent that time actually DOING the job, the country would be a lot better off. It was like swimming against a strong tide sometimes.
