Where have the police gone,long time passing.

Yes where have they all gone or where are they working.
You can walk down any town or parish and you would be very lucky to see one policman take a day out like I did I went to Folkestone ,Deal,Dover.and some of our local parish,s and how many policeman did I see, well it was none yes not one did I see not even one passing in a car. So can some one please tell me where they have all gone day or night you will not fine one and if you needed one and phone for one you would be lucky if one came in 12hours. Go down our town in any morning and you will see shop windows kicked in ,public are getting robbed in our streets drugs sold in the open on the streets the riding of bikes on our paths,cars speeding around our roads and they have no tax etc and some of the drivers do not even have a licence,there is open drinking on our streets and in our parks.So AGAIN i SAY WHERE O WHERE IS OUR POLICE.
Years ago you would be pulled over in your car at laybys by the police to see you are within the law.You would see police walking around the towns and parish day and night but not now,each year the police force get more of our taxis but in return we see less of them .
So yet again I say where O where have they gone.
And what does our MP do about it well it is nothing,he just talks and talks ,but you see him in the press and on the TV each day of the week and what his doing it is talking and talking but still nothing is getting done to make our towns and parish,s safe to walk down .with out the fear of getting mugged or getting runover by a unlicence driver in a car that should not be on the road.It is time we got back to the old days of seeing the police around our streets both day and night 24/7. But yet again I say where are they if they are not on the streets ? that is where we need them. - 12 September 2016 05:35317751We have got to stop trying to put the world right and look after ourself more,.
You have to look after no1 first or who will look after no2?.
We are very small and the world is very big, now we are not part of the EU family and for 1 I think that is good, but it means we are on our own so we must look after our own better, and the way to go about that is first make our streets safe to walk out in 24/7 that way more from other parts of the world will come over as vistors who give and not take as it is now. The more that the rest who stay take, makes it less to go round and the amount in the pot is getting smaller by the day.

- 12 September 2016 08:47317754It is all policing by headline nowadays, the numbers are there as seen in Dover at demonstrations and events like the Notting Hill carnival. What people like to see is officers on foot in their town centres and surrounds but that doesn't mean the Chief Constable and Commissioner looks good. There is no custody suite in Dover now so when an arrest is made officers have to go Folkestone or Canterbury.

12 September 2016 09:00317755When the police were more visible they had a better rapport with the public, in my road I can not remember the last time I saw a policeman or even a PCSO walking along it.
There seemed to be less minor crime as they knew from local gossip where the trouble makers were and could stop it before it happened.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

12 September 2016 17:33317767here you are here are some police for you.
- 13 September 2016 03:21317777The police must get back to what they are paid for and that is policing not just driving around in a car.To police a town or street you must get out of the car and use your legs by walking .
