Can't say I saw many in numbers but did see a few on horseback which was a little unusual on a Friday.

2 x PCSO's eating chips, waiting for the reinforcements who had been sent for supplies

They are now ready for action.

That might have been to force people in

Just showing presence, do it every Christmas that I've worked on doors in Sheffield and Chesterfield.

Apparently in response to the "More police needed in Sheffield" thread on Sheffield Forum.

There were 2 armed police officers in Meadowhall on Saturday, wasn't sure whether to feel reassured or alarmed that they knew something I didn't!

I saw them today. I was alarmed. Sad times.

Why be alarmed? They are just putting extra bobbies on the beat, which is what everyone wants. Cutbacks probably mean there aren't any other bobbies left to do it?

Why?

 

I am sure you are well aware what is happening in the world right now. Its not even a new thing.

 

Hightened security alerts and precautionary steps have been happening in major populated areas, shopping centres and major transport hubs for weeks. Its been increased even more since the Christmas period.

 

Reassurance is what you should feel not fear.
