Letter: Streets not safe for the police?
Letter: Over a thousand police officers claim on Facebook that Britain's streets are not safe to patrol alone.
Letter: What a rosy picture Jon Tandy paints of the economy and crime figures under Labour. (Read the letter here.)
I presume that Jon thinks that the fact that over a thousand police officers and PCSOs have said on Facebook that the streets of this country are not safe to patrol alone, supports his opinion.
About two or three years ago some anti-social drunken youths were aiming a laser gun at bowlers on Castlefields bowling green from "The Pleasure".
A member of the club rang the police but gave up after 25 minutes without a reply.
Some days later the Star printed a request from the police for witnesses to youths using a laser gun in New Park Road.
I suggest to Jon that crime figures are down because people think it is a waste of time trying to report it.
