New police teams go back to bobbying
10:36am Monday 3rd March 2008
Comments (104) Have your say »
Around 300 police officers are to work in 47 new Neighbourhood Policing Teams across the district, it has been announced.
West Yorkshire Police revealed the number of police officers and police community support officers performing in such roles now totalled 1,647.
The inspector-led teams - of sergeants, constables and PCSOs - will cover the county's five districts, which match up with local authority areas.
People can meet the teams at roadshows this week.
Home Office Policing Minister Tony McNulty attended the launch of the new-look teams with West Yorkshire's Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison, West Yorkshire police authority chairman Councillor Mark Burns-Williamson and Wakefield District Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent Marc Callaghan.
Sir Norman said "It is obvious to me, after 35 years in policing, that the thing the public wants to see more than anything is a regular patrol from familiar officers in uniform who understand the problems that exist within the community, and who resolve those problems which are of most concern to local people.
"Good old-fashioned bobbying is what I call it."

Still, dissent might've interfered with his promotion prospects and eventual Knighthood.
Too late to go back to "Good old-fashioned bobbying" now though Norm. That would require the support and consent of the law-abiding majority, and you people have done all you can to destroy that relationship.

Presumably, to rise to the post of Chief Constable you need a modicum of intelligence. So why as it taken our Norm 35 years to realise that people want bobbies on the beat? And I mean proper coppers with the full power of arrest not Blunkett Bobbies.

Pantoman, don't you think that the police get just as frustrated as the rest of us? They have to contend with all the bureaucracy, league tables and new "iniatives" that come out, not to mention the total lack of support from the justice system in ensuring that the courts are able to mete out suitable sentences. I think as law abiding members of the public, we should give the police our full support.

Their eagerness to pursue easy targets rather than deal with real crime is shameful. Prosecuting victims of crime on petty technicalities and a total lack of discretion has alienated them.
Only a fool would support an organisation that was acting in a manner that was against the public good.

That's alright then. Fingers crossed, touch wood, everything might be alright. Ish.
We'll give it five years and then decide. Good. Right. And if it doesn't work? Well Norm will be retired and another genius will propose his or her 'new policing deal'.
And we'd better support that as well because that's the stance we've taken.
Shame that the stupidity of the fathers will undoubtedly come back to haunt their children, and by then it will be too late.
