Have any of you heard about this new police role? If so, what do you think about it, do you approve of a new type of police officer, trained to deal with matters that people really care about, or would you prefer more regular officers?
I ask, because as you know I have just started as one, I'm still in training but the general level of feedback has been positive.
What the police found was that although people are concerned about things like gun crime, to be fair it doesn't affect many people.
At the end of the day people care more about the noise from next door, the litter, the grafitti e.t.c.
Do you agree?

I think Police Community Support Officers are a good idea though, I think it would mean that people receive help for their problems by someone trained and expecting to deal with them, rather than someone who thinks that next doors brats spraying graffitti on the car is a waste of their time and they should be out solving "real crime." (Spoken from experience there-happened to my Grandad.)
lol, sorry I can't remember wether I did or not.
I was just asking because yesterday we had a meeting with some of the local black community who think it's all a big waste of time.
I've also found spides/townies/whatever way less likely to try anything with you, as chances are a couple of community police are ambling round the corner.
great idea in my book mate. old ladies and such actualy feel safer going shopping now round here and i live in hicksville.
We've been given a rough guide about what we'll be able to do.
We'll be able to fine people for breaching anti-social laws, litter, smoking, drinking, tee-peeing people's houses that sort of thing. Sort out truancy and grafitti problems, giving fines to the parents of children.
It isn't all about fines though, we'll be able to detain petty criminals (and serious ones) if we have justification, we'll have handcuffs and stab vest, but no baton or CS gas, although we may get them in the future.
We won't be able to stop and search, but we will be able to assist in the searching of houses and vehicles, and we'll have the same powers as a regular police officer during terrorist attacks e.t.c.
Our main mandate though is to be a visible police presense on the streets, we can't arrest like a regular officer can, but that's good because we won't EVER have to do paperwork
We also have special training for dealing with ethnic minorities, children and communities as a whole.
And we get a cool radio which doubles up as a mobile phone
that bit doesn't sit well with me at all.
to avoid them you you just need to make sure you don't do anything like not pay your road tax whilst i'm around.
