Interesting topic popped up today in the UK news from the National Police Chief's Council regarding burglaries.
Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33676308The public should not expect to see a police officer after crimes such as burglary, the head of the new National Police Chiefs' Council has said.
Sara Thornton told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire budget cuts and the changing nature of criminality meant police in England and Wales had to prioritise.
She said it "could be" that if an iPad was stolen from a home an officer would not come round to investigate.
Certainly shows how much the police are struggling with all the budget cuts at the moment if they cant even deploy officers to deal with a burglary, In the year I volunteered for the police I attended 4-5 burglaries and 2 where "in progress", this in my opinion is going to open up more cases of people taking the law into their own hands if they catch someone invading their home.
Discuss.
