Laugh of the month.

In police training for new recruits the mantra “It may be surprising to you but people tell us lies” is drummed in at every opportunity.

In the November ‘News from Norfolk Constabulary’ they say “The county’s 52 Safer Neighbourhoods Teams (SNTs) are listening closely to our residents and working with them and other partners to resolve the issues they raise.”

See my report of the Safer Neighbourhoods meeting of 25th September below.

If people wish, MHRN can present their cases anonymously when they use their evidence. Although it ...
