al_partridge Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Originally posted by Deejay I think that after the stabbing in Carver Street a few weeks back there has been a huge increase in the number of Patrol Officers on a Friday and Saturday night around the town.. I think the stabbing incident gave the SYPF a wake up call.. DeeJ The fatal stabbing in question (a girl I knew) was on a Wednesday night. Haven't heard anything about the woman arrested for the crime, anybody else know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.blaze Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 How come the fates of all the crims involved in Shootings/Stabbings are hardly ever mentioned in the paper? We'r always hearing they got caught and that they are set for trial on so and so date. But how come nowhere ever says what happens to them?

evildrneil Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Are we really so incapable of taking responsibility for our own actions and environment that we need police to 'control' us? IM(NV)HO we are putting to much onus on the police - the primary responsability for a healthy society is the people who live in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but when I run round with my baton and handcuffs I tend to get into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadron Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 That little motorbike is one of four vehicles being driven on the paths in Tinsley now by school kids. I reported the bikes too over the weekend along with a friend who lives at the other side of Tinsley. Not seen a sausage of any police presence and the three cameras in the park are a waste of space as well as the £30,000 it cost to put them there. We all pay about £100 each, every year for policing so where does the money go, and when are these new community police people starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbaliser Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Recruitment for PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) is ongoing. It's still a relatively new venture so the first few are only just starting regular duty. Many more will be on patrol in 12 months' time. The cameras are there to identify persistent offenders, but the nature of the bike problem is such that a single offence won't lead to a conviction. It'll take time for evidence to accumulate against individuals, but being classed as anti-social behaviour, these type of incidents cannot always be prioritised.

Strix Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 But being mown down by a petrol driven vehicle is normally a hit and run, isn't it? And if one of the little darlings accidently drove into 'somebody's' fist it wouldn't take long for 'somebody' to find themselves in trouble, would it???

Herbaliser Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 True, but the case in question was a near miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
