Here in Suffolk there is a constant Police presence even in remote areas, especially in the country where there is a DIY justice culture and plenty with guns (often legally held) plus a culture of carrying knifes and using them to sort out disputes (several people got stabbed in Stow last year)
its a vicious circle as because of things like “riot-raves” youths don’t have any respect for the police or wider society, but wider society feels intimidated by youths and both sides are equally stubborn.
if a middle englander calls nines for a few kids hanging around its 3-4 police cars + a van sometimes.
The cops also deployed AA99 (G-SUFF, suffolk constabulary heli) to track one young lad in Ipswich because a bystander thought he was dealing drugs on the street.
There is also a constant armed police presence in Ipswich (saw two ARVs this morning), as they are (perhaps rightly) paranoid about turf wars between East London firms and their Essex/Suffolk “bumpkin” counterparts (it was something like this what led to Zest being shot up at a UK garage night)
then after the Ipswich murders the public got used to seeing police presence on virtually every street corner (at one point it was surreal, like living on the set of a ITV crime drama), and crime plummeted during this time, so a lot of the public have unfortunately accepted that a heavy police presence is a good thing…
plus 5 murders in one month counts badly against the crime reduction targets, so cops are told they have to “make up for this”..
Suffolk cops are even offering to go to Norfolk and help close down any raves if Norfolk feel they can’t handle it, they certainly cross border fairly often to gather intelligence…
we have loads of police helicopters, nowhere for them to land though

blatent cop!:laugh_at:
So there still up there now? Fuck that!:crazy_diz
Five minutes later as she saw him take a crowbar and head towards her garage she phoned back and tole the police “don’t bother coming anymore everything is ok….I’ve shot him”. Within minutes police were on the scene and apprehended the robber.
They pulled the lady up saying “we thought you said you’d shot him” to which she replied
“I thought you said there was no one available”

Smart thinking :weee:
Police Station rocked by New Year explosion
A NEW Year reveller who set off 300 fireworks in a local police station for a laugh has been jailed.
Unemployed Robert Hood (42) walked in to Alloa Police Station two hours before midnight on Hogmanay and lit the explosives.
He was first seen in the street outside the police station unpacking a large box of fireworks and walking towards the entrance and gave CCTV cameras a wave before doing a runner.
However, the blast from the box of ‘300-shot screaming missiles’ was so intense it almost blew the station’s security door off.
Fiscal Sandy Mitchell, prosecuting, said: “Police in the station heard a noise in the foyer and went to investigate.
“A number of officers were inside as it was shift change over at the time.
“There was a barrage of explosions which continued and escalated in force and almost blew the secure door off and, within seconds, the whole ground floor of the police station was full of smoke.”
Flying sparks scorched the floor, wall, ceiling and chairs during the dangerous stunt. Six roof tiles were also damaged and a light was smashed.
Alloa Sheriff Court heard Hood was caught after he told a taxi driver what he had done and police traced him to his home.
Mr Mitchell said: “He was arrested and admitted sole responsibility.
“He said he had been out drinking all day and had gone home and had fireworks left over from Guy Fawkes Night and formed the opinion it would be amusing to set some off in the police station and run out the door.
“In hindsight, he stated that it was a highly reckless and dangerous action which could have put people’s lives at risk.”
Police seized a total of 11 boxes of fireworks from Hood’s home including another seven boxes of ‘300-shot screaming missiles’ and four boxes of sky rockets.
The court heard the fireworks came with a warning on the box stating that users must stand at least 25 metres away when setting them off outside.
Hood, of Rose Street, Alloa, admitted culpable and reckless conduct when he appeared at Alloa Sheriff Court on Thursday.
Sheriff David Mackie, who granted forfeiture of the fireworks, deferred sentence for background reports and remanded him in custody meantime. He told the accused: “I am refusing bail because of the nature of the offence and my concern is for the safety of the public, not least police officers.”
