WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS: WHERE HAVE ALL OUR POLICE OFFICERS VANISHED TO? WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING ALL DAY - DRINKING TEA AND COMPARING THE LATEST DEALS ON EBAY?

I have NOT seen a police officer at street level for the past THREE YEARS.

NO POLICE means that every local villain can get on with their criminal lives with impunity.

Teenagers need to be seen to have credibility (which is something their local MP doesn't have) within their peer group.

There is no work to be had. There is nothing for youngsters to do except hang about in gangs - disaffected, disenchanted, outcasts in fact.

Grabbing the nearest knife and stabbing someone for nothing seems a good idea to spite the society which has disowned and neglected these young people from day one.

Kick the police out of their centrally-heated offices, where they spend most of their time ticking boxes and meeting Government "targets".

Joe Public is the target on the street.

The time is long overdue when the police should re-join the battleground at street level.
