[QUOTE="Ranger Security Solutions, post: 7771836, member: 158492"] Yes and no. Yes, the police force as whole have the resources, but they are under the control of different departments with different budgets and assigned tasks by different commanders. No, the rural crime teams have limited access to these resources to manage the risks, and limited budget to pay for the operations, such as specialist units, additional officers, equipment, etc., to go raiding a traveller site. It's a "silo" approach, empires within an empire so to speak. I hate it. You'd think that a police force with one aim would work as one team, but it's not quite like that... departmental budgets, equipment, staffing/overtime, command and control, priority of tasks, politics, etc.. Hence why I keep harping on about funding and resources - so the rural crime team get what they need, in their own department instead of beg borrowing and stealing from others. But, for the rural crime teams to get the much needed funding and resources the police head-sheds and local/national government need accurate facts and figures relating to incident numbers and impact, so that they can say: "the rural crime teams need XYZ funds, to manage and reduce ABC criminal activity", to put it in simple terms. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. And farmers and rural communities have not been making enough noise. So as much as the bobbies that come out to respond to you want to do as much as they can, they have their hands tied, limited by what their options are. We need to help the police, to help you, by reporting anything and everything relating to rural crime. The figures start to stack up. [/QUOTE]
