Comment	Agree. For some reason, at election time, the big buzz phrases seem to include "we will increase police numbers by 1000". I've always said fuck that. I want to hear a politician saying "we will decrease police numbers by 1000". I want to know that crime is being tackled to such an extent that the police force can be reduced, but most people seem to he happy with the force size being increased, which to me just sounds like crime is rising.
