Some police in the UK thought it would be a good idea to advertise on the rear of a bus. Their planning did not take into account the position of the exhaust pipe.

No Richard, I got this from an 'inside' source, fresh today. It costs a fortune to paint the back of a bus like that. A bus showing a specific number plate even (google for it) ;)

That is not painted on, but rather a plastic adhesive film with the photo applied to it.

It does explain the giddy grin on his partner.

Chair’s Foreword


It is clear that Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) are a popular measure – but that is no reason not to assess their impact and value for money. Indeed, it is perhaps all the more important to keep a critical, but constructive, eye on their progress; it can be all too easy, where there is widespread support, to overlook the scope for improvement or simply, through timidity, to avoid seeming negative.

Our report is written in the spirit of constructive criticism, and it is fair to say that in all our exchanges with both the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) they have made it clear that they are open to comments and are keen themselves to assess the effectiveness of SNTs.

It is also important to understand the objectives of SNTs. They could not in any event be the sole or primary mechanism to reduce crime, and it does the scheme no favours to use it as the basis for exaggerated claims. Indeed, overstating either goals or achievements risks the perception of failure. Safer Neighbourhoods were, as the report reminds us, designed to provide a visible police presence and to reconnect local people with the police.

We wish the MPA, the MPS and their partners, especially the London boroughs, well in their work of helping us all feel good about where we live.

The skinflints. Fancy using a sticker instead of a proper paint job.

To publish annually a policing plan in consultation with the chief constable; the plan must include national and local objectives

To arrange for trained volunteers from the community to make unscheduled visits to police stations to monitor the welfare of persons detained there
To ensure that facilities exist to consult the public about policing matters

This can't happen here in Germany - at least not with these cars: here it would be a Mercedes and a BMW, but no other difference :D
