> The force plans to reduce the number of front counters where the public can speak to officers from 37 to 20, and cut the number of them open 24 hours a day to 8.
Across the whole of London. Insane.
The article makes for grim reading, it’s something that is unfortunately been echoed up and down the country.
They think they’re saving money but ultimately, then ultimately when it’s the experienced coppers leaving the service and the new ones are overworked, that’s how critical errors get made. If the crime rates continues to increase, it’s going to cost more than they are saving!
Its a reasonable decision to make. Most crimes are reported by phone or online now. However the people hit hardest will be the most venerable, the old the young and the disabled
Oh dear what a shame. That’s been going on for years in the rest of the country. Why is anything only a problem when it happens in London?
Criminologists and economists are going to have a field day with this kind of variation even if it likely isn’t exogenous.
This will put the public at greater risk. Front counters have often been a first refuge for domestic abuse victims when they aren’t able to call or use the Internet to report their abusers. It was a bit of a safe haven of sorts.
if a goverment cant enforce its own laws, it is a failed state,
