On the beat.



Mr Smith reads that "ONLY 7.5% of Scottish police officers are available for frontline duties despite record recruitment, according to shocking new figures. More officers are on holiday or doing paperwork than are on patrol at any one time, the disturbing statistics from the Scottish Police Federation (SPF) reveal."

And then we wonder why anti-social behaviour, youth disorder and crime are such big issues in modern Scotland? What's the point in having 16,000 cops and making such little use of them?
