  1. Imho crime is greatly reduced because more people are down the Internet and their phones to distract them from committing crime. The precept in my Council Tax for the PCC in Cheshire goes up every year so the Police in my area always receive a payrise so why should the Government give the Police more money? They get enough money from the Council Tax payer!! Look when the Police get called out, there's always 5 or 6 Police Officers turning up as if some of them haven't got anything else better to do and the Police normally deal with drop outs in bus stations and shopping centres - hardly crime. When members of the public carry out a Police audit at a Police Station 5 or 6 officers show up - again got nothing else better to do. A lot of complaints from the public are just that - complaints, not crime yet they're dealt with by the Police because they've got nothing else better to do. For example a complaint could be about a person filming in public and somebody dislikes it so they phone the Police - again hardly a crime!! A lot of crime goes unreported so it's not as if the Police are overwhelmed with work!! People should take a look at what happens at ground level than listen to other people!! It's about time the Police should be involved in educating the public on crime prevention and on the law itself so people know what constitutes a crime. They should also offer a triage when they receive a 999 to determine whether a call is a crime or a complaint so that the Police attend or a CPSO. I liked the story of the armed response unit in Manchester attending a railway station because a member of the public mistook a blind man's stick for a gun!! How stupid are the general public and how stupid are the Police for not asking, "What makes you think the man has a gun sir?"
