SPOT THE BOBBIE-ON -THE -BEAT
-AND HIS 58 PAPER CHASERS IN THE BLOCKHOUSE
*
More police than ever ,but only
1 in 58
is
on-the-beat.
by
Paul Simms
[Daily Mail-March 19-2007]
Only one police officer in 58 is on patrol at any
given time.
The astonishing statistic, calculated from Home Office
data, is an indictment of the
RED TAPE
-burden weighing on our police forces
Although manpower has reached a record 143,000
officers in England and Wales, only 2,400 officers at a time make it out
from behind their desks to combat crime.
[One should remember that once the new EU CONSTITUTION
is ratified by Parliament the Government in June 2007 it will have need
of the total of 143,000 police officers on the beat in order to enforce
the tens of thousands of EU regulations and directives which at present
which have yet to be brutally enforced. Don't blame anyone but yourself
(if it fits you )for the inactivity you have shown over the past 35
years.]
In a town of 90,000 people, only four would be on
patrol, while more than twice as many would be back at the police
station filling in forms.
The figures are a blow to Labour's claims that it is
cutting bureaucracy and increasing the number of officers on the
streets.
Only last month, Home Secretary John Reid vowed to
ensure 'administrative demands don't distort or get in the way of
front-line policing priorities'.
Jan Berry , chairman of the Police federation, said:
People hear a record 143,000 officers and it sounds a
lot, but the reality , as these figures show, is quite different.
'The Government obsession with
TARGET and DATA COLLECTION
-as well as the failure to provide an effective system
to share information, has resulted in officers spending less time on the
beat and this can only be at the expense of the public.' Figures
released by Parliament by Police Minister Tony McNulty show that
officers spend 14 per cent of their time on patrol.
[One can see the Government's reasoning as the less
police on the streets the less there is a need to find space in their
cells for the few transgressors they accidentally fall upon on their
occasional excursions into their once familiar territory. All the
criminal has to do is wait until the once in a lifetime visit has taken
place and then return to their task of Robbery/Burglary/Assault/Murder
and much else. The police officer is rarely on the Beat so that he is at
a disadvantage to the criminal in not knowing the complete layout of the
land which is vital for a criminals quick get-away. ]
For all ranks, 19.3 per cent of the working day during
2005 and 2006 was spent filling in forms, writing letters and sending
memos. When shift patterns, holidays and sick leave are taken into
account,
ONLY
17,000
of the
81,877 officers
eligible for patrol will be on duty for an average
eight-hour shift.
Hours spent on patrol went down between 2004/5 and
2005/6, while time spent on paperwork increased.
David Davis , the Shadow Home Secretary, said:
'Just last week I was in New York's Times Square and I
saw more than a half a dozen officers in less than a minute. It is hard
to imagine that happening in Piccadilly Circus.'
Officers count as being 'on patrol' when they are
visible to the public and free to respond to incidents. When dealing
with a crime or query, they are not included in the figures.
In an eight-hour shift, even a dedicated patrol
officer
SPENDS JUST OVER AN HOUR ON THE BEAT.
[It reminds one of the typical war film where the SAS
in penetrating a German compound just wait until the sentry has moved
away on his appointed route and then the explosives are laid. On the
streets England the rare sight of a police office will send the message
to the criminal just wait an hour or two for the Bobby to move then
we have plenty of time to get back to our full-time crime circuit. ]
A Home Office spokesman said:
'These calculations do not accurately reflect how many
officers are engaged in front-line policing at any one time. It is not
helpful to isolate patrol policing as it is the only type of policing
that matters, or as it is unrelated to any other policing.'
[For years we have said that there should be a return
to a full time
Bobbie -on -the -Beat
Only by being on that patch as a regular face in the
community will the people respond in co-operating in the fight against
crime.
As we have also said is that the regular Bobbie
thoroughly familiar with his patch is the first-line of defence for the
householder.
The Government has insufficient prison space so that
it is leaving killers out on the streets apart from burglars and many
other vicious criminals.
We have a politically -correct
Lord Chief Justice Phillips
who has ignored the pleas of countless victims of
crime as he appears to be in the wrong job as his inclinations are with
the welfare of
Criminals FIRST and the Victims LAST - IF AT
ALL.
OUR SUPPOSED LAW AND ORDER
would be better described
As
NO LAW AND MUCH DISORDER
And
The actions of the Government over the past ten years
have shown that the biggest crooks are in
THEIR GOVERNMENT

So You Want Out
Of The EU
THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE
RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout
Details from petition creator
With the signing of the Maastricht
Treaty the people of Britain were given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and BRITISH
The extra tier of citizenship was
thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases
knowledge.
The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be
allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so
wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted
out with
BRITISH DOCUMENTATION
-only such as British (not EU)
passports, driving licences and other national documents.
EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who
HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP
[PETITION OPEN UNTIL
OCTOBER 08]
