South Yorkshire Police
Discussion
Not 100% sure this is the right forum, but I have just been reading the Yorkshire Post, and the front page has a feature about South Yorkshire Police.
Apparently, due to the new beaurocracy(sp?) and form filling required, they are looking at categorising crimes by their severity in order to free up their BiB's time.
So in future they are not going to send officers out to burglaries, as they only solve around 20% anyway.
They are planning to take statements/give crime numbers by phone and that's it
WTF!!Time to vote against the government and the beaurocratic nightmare they seem to be heaping upon the few BiB who are TRYING to make a difference
Apologies if my spelling is wrong, I'm just trying to look clever!!

Sounds odd. All calls to the Police have always been graded. A grade 1 job is immediate deployment, a 2 is within 30 mins, 3 within 2 hours etc.. with a 5 being a delayed response/phonecall resolution etc...
I can't speak for Yorkshire Police but I simply cannot see that they would not deploy for a dwelling burglary. It is frankly unthinkable.
My BCU reduced dwelling burglary by 37% last year and we now have the best burglary reduction rate in the UK. Yes, the UK. Dwelling burglary is a performance indicator, a serious crime and one which cannot under any circumstances be dealt with over the phone.
A burglary in progress would be a Grade 1 deployment, with the area car sent straight away. It would arrive on scene within typically 2 or 3 minutes and be backed up by section cars. A report of a burglary would almost certainly be a grade 2.

I've just read it again, and taken a bit more time over it.
It actually says they MAY HAVE TO, but reading on it would appear to be a party political broadcast for the Conservative Party.
Still, it's a sobering thought, and one which would seem to have some grounding in reality when you look at the facts with regards to searches.
Are these forms for justification of stopping people merely another way of Bliar making sure his bint still has plenty of human rights cases to sell her soul over!!

They might have more coppers available if they werent jumping ship to sit in the back of a Talivan to become tax collectors...
Hark at you :handbags:
Understand the point mate, but is it any wonder we are losing proper coppers when they are not allowed to catch criminals very often and when they do they are simply released by the simpering doddering old fools who represent "justice" in this cesspit in which we live.
I'm not pro camera and don't agree with what Streetcop is going to do, but can understand his point of view somewhat.
Would you rather risk your life every day dealing with the scum who have all the rights, or spend more time with your kids/be safer for the same money (possibly more)
As a family man myself, I think I would have bitten the bullet and gone the same way (principles don't pay the bills when you have been stabbed by some little chav t**t)

Depends on why they put the uniform on in the first place I suppose.
If it was to genuinely contribute something which society requires out of a sense of social concience then thats great but to say you are doing that and then actively contribute to the demise of road safety is something entirely different regardless of the relative cushiness of said number.
