Just to see a police officers walking in town would to my mind be a better way of reassuring the public. Years ago Town and the Bridge were covered by beat officers 24 hours a day, plus there were community officers who covered certain areas, of which I was one. It seems to me that the powers that be just do not understand the needs of the Iocal community, and to think that they are reassured by having an armed response vehicle driving around beggars belief. I don't think it happens now but I regularly spent some of my time communicating with residents over a cup of tea, and in that way fully discussed their problems or concerns. Policing has changed and me thinks not for the better.
