Bobbies On The Beat, They Can't Always Be In The Right Place At The Right Time

In a dramatic display of public misunderstanding, a MORI poll conducted for the National Neighbourhood Watch Association (NNWA) has found that 93% of the British public who expressed an opinion overestimates the number of times that a police officer on foot patrol is actually likely to come across a crime in progress. In response to these figures the NNWA is challenging politicians and police chiefs to re-consider this wasteful use of police resources and concentrate instead on more focused crime prevention measures. They are also pointing out that vigilant neighbours are much more likely to be in the right place at the right time to prevent residential crime taking place.
