Peter Hyde, Driffield.
WHEN I read that it could be seven days before a police officer could
attend a burglary, I thought it was a joke but the report proved to be
true.
Way back in 1953, before the days of personal radios and computers,
Sidney Lawrence, the Chief Constable of Hull City Police, used to boast that he
could put a policeman on your doorstep within minutes and could prove it. I know
because I was a PC in that force in those days. Amazing what progress we have
made, even if it is backwards.
Thank you Theresa May for your part, along with George Osborne, in
reducing our once famous police service to such an extent that it is unfit for
purpose. Yorks
Post.
