HAMBLETON District Council has secured Home Office funding to employ “NightSafe Marshalls”
to offer assistance and support to North Yorkshire Police officers in a bid to tackle drunken behaviour at weekends.
There was a time when uniformed officers provided this reassurance, but not apparently any longer.
Perhaps that money might be better spent employing more police officers, rather then reducing their numbers?
The Government would do well to could reduce the amount of paperwork that keeps police officers off the streets for so long. I won’t hold my breath.
