I like it

Damn! Just when I thought Labour were concentrating on all the wrong things they come out with this little beauty: 250 more Community Police. I quite a fan of Community Police that get to know who's who in the community. It makes dealing with crime easier.

For instance, a Petrol Station in Nelson incorrectly wrote my Car Registration when someone fled without paying the community constable came round and was almost embarassed to ask me if I had been there at the time.

Some months later, my car was broken into (yes, the same car) and the constable knew who had done it - there were two groups of teenagers breaking into cars and it couldn't be one group as they had been arrested earlier in the night.

So full marks to Labour for this policy - maybe National should steal it after they get into power next month.

  • Yes, we believe in community policing. We have hundreds of thousands invade our small town for Spring Break. but the local cops know us and never hassle us when they are beating college kids with their nightclubs!
