http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/5013409.Re...obs_say_police/ ANGRY residents have been urged to stand up, be counted and reclaim their streets from gangs of yobs. And quite right too. I am often surprised to see how many MOP`s will not bother helping the Police with anti social behaviour. They`re isn`t a chance the Police can do it all.

There are 65 Special constables in Southampton out of a to…

"The force said this freed detectives to concentrate on more important parts of some inquiries." This quote again. If those in charge keep freeing up Police Officers to do other work, they`re won`t be any work for them to do.
