A recent report in Yourthanet local newspaper reported on the failure of the PCSOs.
Most people would agree, more real police on the beat would be preferred. The cost of replacing the PCSO in Thanet is quoted at £3 million. Unfortunately the bobby is so tied down with administration that they are not finding time to fight crime. I’m sure if the admin burden could be eased some of this money could be found. How many parents in Margate have been to the police to report assault on there children? How many children have been assaulted and not reported the crime. How many children that have committed these crimes are still walking the streets unpunished! How many hours have these parents waited to see a policeman to take the report! A report does not require a police officer just a good admin assistant to ensure that the reports make sense. Is traffic more important than our children? Police and traffic, could not crime fighting and traffic violations be separated? And could the priority list be re-hashed to fight crime. Children in Thanet are forming gangs who commit assault after an assault, but government wish to criminalize wheelie bin abusers and take petty crimes more seriously.
Lets ease the admin burden on the police.
Lets get priorities and sentences right.
Lets get more real police out there fighting crime.
Separate traffic from real crime.
Lets ensure violent crime is taken more seriously
And lets elect honest government.
If we elect crooks what role models do the children have to follow!
