We were asked to submit comments about what we pay for policing. 

My concern is that there are so few officers. 

We hear that most theft from shops and burglary is not followed up. Driving standards today are really bad. So what are we paying for? 

I have the utmost respect for our police but politicians seem have forgotten about them.
