Just so you are aware of what Traffic Police get up to. :D
Lifted from Force weekly Orders commendations section!



2. Judge commendations

Four officers have been commended by a judge sitting at Aylesbury Crown Court for the way they responded to a burglary.

DC Giles MXXXX, from XXXXXXXX CID Operations, PC Greg WXXXXXXX from the Dogs Section along with PC Robert SXXXXX and PC Simon BXXXXXXXX from Milton Keynes Roads Policing Unit were all commended by Mr Recorder Brown following the trial of a burglar.

He said: "In cases like this, we see too often in the newspapers the fact that the police are always being criticised for the fact that they do not respond, and do not catch burglars.

"Well, here is an instance where they caught the burglars actually before the householder knew of that fact. I say this comment and I am sure many other members of the public will echo this, and I hope it gets back to the police headquarters: it is refreshing to see that the traffic police officers are not policing traffic all the time. They are actually dealing with real crime, and they can deal with - as proved in this case.

"I would therefore like to commend the officers in this case to the Chief Constable for their actions and to draw that to his attention."

Ist more than likely they were on patrol nearby when the radio sounded - und responded for a change.

was this in run up to election?


It takes months to get a case before a Judge in a Crown Court. Sometimes over a year!
It would have been before the election. What on earth has that got to do with it?

Und I was talking to a woman polcie officer in the pub earlier this evening. She ist on her holidays here from another patch. She was telling me she actually saw four blokes break into a neighbour's house und she dialled the police to assist (she was off -duty). She said she now appreciated why we complained about response as the police did not turn up for two hours - und she ist police und the house was across the road from her house.


Next time I will post the discipline section from weekly orders so you can gloat over those who fail to meet the required standards!
