00:00 What do you think the police should be focusing on in the new year? Are there any priorities that come to mind?
00:06 For me it would be relationship with the people so that we had an understanding of how they work and they have an understanding of what people's priorities are wherever they come from.
00:19 Is that something that you don't see enough of now do you think?
00:22 I don't see much of the police because there aren't enough of them but I do think the police have such an extraordinary and powerful role in our society. It's just I feel a debt of gratitude to them.
00:37 Are there any priorities that you think the police should be focusing on in the next year? Is there any sort of areas that you'd like to see more effort in or more resources, funding?
00:46 We were actually talking about this this morning about shoplifting and what it's cost is petty crime. No crime is petty surely. You know any crime needs these investigations.
00:55 We were talking about this this morning about how shoplifting is on the rise and it shouldn't be really. It should be some sort of deterrent.
01:02 Understandably the police numbers etc etc but haven't we got more police than we've ever had before?
