Thread: Could we do more

I think both could do better. It needs to come from the top though and be consistent. When gear goes missing the police don't generally bother, other than sending you a form letter to say they acknowledge your gear got pilfered. They are not helped by the wet ticket brigade and limited funding either.

I do know of one traffic copper that had his wagon stolen and was not impressed by the lack of effort of his colleagues. In the end he did some sniffing around himself and ended up busting a theft, breakdown and export ring. Ended up with his wagon back to boot.

To be honest I think the Police HQ need to have a better look in their own backyard to find solutions rather than making it more difficult for the law abiding. If they made more of an effort to stop people becoming career criminals by more effective measures earlier in their careers things would improve.
