Drug offences are generally found by police officers

when they are investigating drugs or other offences.

If the number of recorded drug offences goes down, it is

because the police's attention is on other things.

There is a growing fashion these days by some senior police officers

and Home Office people to be sniffy at the public wanting more boots

on the ground, saying it is old-fashioned.

The public tell me all of the time that they want to see

picture. Good evening, it will gradually get

colder in the UK in the next few days, something we don't have to
