Cops on the buses.

[Shaw Tarse]

Assuming that in the event of an emergency, they aren't going to be waiting for the number 9 I don't see the problem? http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2012/01/17/poli...

2 Safety Wardens turned up at a local fete in a brand new Hilux with all the trimmings and tried to close the cake stall.
Bloke who runs the show owns the land and chucked them out for not paying.
BiB turned up within 5 minutes and got told pretty much the same.
60K worth of vehicle deployed to try and shut a cake stall.
Might make the buses a bit less awful as well.

Seems reasonable for the Neighbourhood policing teams to use public transport.

Nice to see them about in the public. Might make some journey by bus safer as well if a policeman is on board.

1. What's this got to do with the point of the thread? Presumably these so called safety wardens are nothing to with the police.
2. The person running the show kicked the plod out for presumably just doing their job? Not sure I want to visit his show - he sounds like an arrogant prick.

I'd give some of them cars, and make others walk the beat getting public transport etc.

I used to regularly catch a bus when on patrol. Most of the passengers were glad to see officers on buses.
Must be a quiet news day
