So if recruitment levels stay the same that equates to a further 20% reduction of front line police, but at least they'll be able to write their own names!howard mcsweeney1 likes thisArte et Marte - Captain Haddock

Whereas Plod tended to patrol in pairs they always went around in threes.
Apparently one could read, one could write, and the third kept an eye on the two intellectuals.

Dr. Hunter S Thompson - 21 December 2016 16:36322572Wonderful logic as prison officers are leaving the service in droves because of poor working conditions and violence against them by inmates. They expect someone who has studied for years to be interested in taking up a low paid and unpleasant job.Guest 1713, Paul M, Jan Higgins and 1 more like thisGuest 1713, Paul M, Jan Higgins and Andy B like this
