An amazing commendation by the Home Office – what do you think?
An innovative way to cut overtime rates – West Midlands Police told their officers not to chase criminals near the end of their shift. Instead chiefs asked their officers to hand their cases over to other colleagues when their working hours are up for the day. This was discovered in a Home office report commending the force for their initiative. The same force spent £40,000 on hypnotherapy in 2007 to help staff stop smoking.
What a wonderful idea.
Can you imagine it.

That sounds about right.
Can you imgaine how many criminals have got away if officers have actually followed this advice? Most though dont mind a bit of over time-I wonder what the figures are?

Ah! more tales from a far off planet full of grey people with light-bulbs sticking out of their heads.
We could save so much money if we just sacked the barmy lot and put some real people in their place.
I was including the Bosses too.

The people who came up with the idea are not too dull to know that criminals will get police work schedules and plan their criminal activity around them.
What does that say about these planners?
The general population has been disarmed and put under full surveillance and now the authorities want to ease up on criminal activity. A satanic dictatorship must be on the rise.

Glad to see they’re being helped on taxpayers’ money. Before long, the criminals will be asked to only commit crimes at the beginning of shifts, to make it more convenient for the poor coppers who have to deal with them.

It seems that what bone headed Chief Constables don’t come up with bone headed Home Offfice officicals do. It sounds like one of Richard Littlejohn’s ‘Mind how you go’ collection.

Hypnotherapy? I guess they have to spend their money on something as it certainly isn’t on fighting crime or catching villains is it? Remember this though? Tough on crime and the causes of crime. This is part of what the Nu-labour "Tory "B" team keep promising us they are doing isn’t it? When you think that they are starting to come up with ideas about stopping people smoking in their own homes by making it illegal maybe that is why the police are having to take the classes. That will then prove to be a definite waste of money if they tackle that crime like they do all the others won’t it? I’ll be surprised if the police ever do anything much unless its to draw their pay check at the end of the month and have a knees up in their usual watering place.
