This is how we operated in the Royal Military Police in the 80's. We had a two man patrol that covered a 9-5 Police station in a local town, a Long Range Patrol that covered Hamburg, Hanover, Lubecke and any UK Govt building or military establishments in the are. Then we had a local patrol. For the garrison we were in and the local towns. In the duty room we had a desk nco, duty Sergeant and a German interpretor. We often did joint patrols with the German Police. We had black MK5 Cortinas back then.

I rember the days of foot patrol, checking the shop doors during night's. I didn't get my basic drivers course for 2 and half yrs and that was a week long course, now they get an hour assessment after a few months and allowed to drive area cars. Tea spots for "intelligence gathering " and community relations, walking the beat you also saw more than sat in a car.

That's because successive left wing politicians have convinced society that criminals are just hard done by victims of a cruel society and institutions. The same left wing types who have no poisoned every institution and aspect of society where decent ordinary folk are to be criminalised as much as possible and scumbags decriminalised routinely. That's the fucked up mentality of a leftie

I remember wagging junior school on a few occasions in the 50's, I had my school uniform on and I saw a policeman and in order for him to not see me I quickly evaded him by taking a different route, it was not out of the question then for the police constables to come striaght to you to ask why you were not at school, I was 7 in 1959.
