Those police persons who monitor the tiered banks of screens (at what cost those?) with their random chance of seeing a crime committed would surely be of more use to the community if they were out on the streets, preventing crimes from occurring in the first place? I live on the fringe of an area where residents are rich enough to afford private security patrols after dark. One is grateful for that limited deterrent as no police patrols are ever seen unless a car attends well after an incident of burglary or worse.
