The Artful (question) Dodger

The Miner was intrigued by Gordon Brown's suggestion that the problems of Notts Police force could be solved by ‘neighbourhood policing’.
For many years Notts Police has lagged behind other forces in terms of the number of offences committed in its area per head of population and the level of detection.
Earlier this year a team of experts was brought in to Notts Police in order to identify what has been going wrong and how the force could be improved.
But when asked if this was good enough, he said: “I think the best policing is what we want to see and I think neighbourhood policing is the key to it and I think getting visibility on the streets - 80% of time on the streets - is the key to that.
“So as neighbourhood policing comes in I hope people will be satisfied they are getting a better service.”
So that's where we're going wrong then...
