Thanks for brining this up, it is ALWAYS worth bringing up. This is our neighbourhood afterall - if we can't care about our own environs then what else should we be concerned about? Some war far away where regular people like us won't make a jot of difference but which still attracts tons of cops to police weekly while local kids get beat up? It takes a cool analytical big-picture head to think just how messed up this situation is. Too much on the 90% of our lives we cannot control, too little on the 10% we can. I applaud the OP for raising this. With things like stolen bikes, broken-into parked cars, intimidated children it's worth making a report b/c more of more services are driven by stats/KPIs. Eventually, the numbers amass. I don't care who is stretched. Tell me someone who would say they're NOT stretched - the point is we all pay tons of tax and are deserve appropriate level of services. Would tea with a cop help? I dunno, think this needs something a bit more decisive than that. I know there are supplementary parental patrols - worth helping them to assign their resources better by making them aware of recent trouble-spots. Realise this was out of term-time but worth raising nonetheless.
