Sorry Neil, I disagree with you on this, think its more an example of community policing being required , I grew up in Gt. Harwood during the 50s and 60s and everyone knew the local beat 'bobby' P.C.Robinson who covered the bottom end of town , and he knew the local kids and where they lived , he lived in the better part of the area , but was part of the community and woe betide any local kid who got caught doing a 'wille wonka' (head over heels roll) over the railway bridge parapet wall whilst a train was going under it (a right of passage), not only were you shamed by him taking you home , your parents/family were shamed at the same time . don't ever remember a clip around the ear from him or any police abuse but he had the respect which sadley seems to have gone .
