ONE year after the police received a large increase in their share of the Council Tax, promising we would see a difference, statistics show 72 per cent - more than seven out of 10 - - of recorded crimes go undetected.
A senior police officer says the police are going from strength to strength - presumably weak to feeble.
Your paper asked what will the police do for you. They should detect more crime and prevent crime with a more visible presence, especially with regard to vandalism in churches, Scouts huts etc.
Ever increasing amounts are being collected from Council Tax with apparently decreasing results.
The money must be used more efficiently, resulting in higher detection rates and lower levels of crime.
STATISTICALLY AWARE
