The Sunday Telegraph reports that three out of four people do not know a single policeman in their neighbourhood.
This is despite the fact that there are more employed police now than ever before.
There are now also more specialist directives in the police, many concerned with "diversity" and "the community".
There are a few simple measures to get the public back on side of the police.
Get police back on the beat. Let the public see them. Get out of the panda cars and use their legs. I would be interested to see how many rapes, robberies and other serious crimes were committed on the day after the Tube bombings when the streets were flooded with police.
Stop dressing police as some kind of paramilitary force - get back to the old-fashioned uniform. Is it really necessary for the police to wear fluorescent jackets or have "Metropolitan Police" (or whatever) embroidered on their sweaters. What else could they be?
Stop persecuting motorists. Despite buffoons like Richard Brunstrom, the "car-driving community" is not a force for evil.
Stop banging on about diversity and "serving the community". It really does not impress anyone.
It's not rocket science...
