  When I was young the common saying was "if you want to know the time ask a policeman" because they had a watch. They were always in the area and unless you were a wrong-doer you liked to see them and chat to them.
  
  This all changed when the local cop got into his car and patrolled the area that way, they became faceless to the people of the neighbourhood.
  
  Now the only time a policeman is seen is when he goes to nick someone or deliver a summons. We no longer 'know' them, they are strangers to the majority and as such we are now suspicious of them.
  
  Bring back the beat policeman and vandalism and petty crime will fall, trouble is these things are now of no interest to our highly trained big-crime only cop.
