It is quite clear our police are totally inadequate, which really is disturbing.

They are sending out a loud message that one can commit any crime one wishes and the chances of getting away with it are more than positive.

Is it not about time the Government sought a new method of policing our country?

Maybe we should do away with the police force as we know it and employ a national security force, comprising 50 per cent uniformed personnel and 50 per cent plainclothes.

It works in every other country and I, personally, feel safer in other countries than I do in my own.
