WHY does our community need protection orders? Could it be our rate paid-for administrators spend more of our rates and taxes putting bums on seats rather than feet on the streets enforcement? The introduction of non-warrant card carrying wannabe individuals by council and police authorities would be laughable if it were not such a good example of how more importance is placed on self ego seeking empire builders sitting around tables wasting taxes and rates.
The situation could be improved if Gwent Police improved their image by not only enforcing the basic laws; a community needs to see police in action, not pacing along with “I’m not really here” attitude, abiding to the laws themselves would do Gwent Police’s image no harm.
