Disbanding the Comfort Patrol a good move

Some of the vehicles you see occasionally cruising around appear to be more of a makework programme than anything else.

What was the original intent is anyone’s guess as the personnel are not police officers and thus cannot legitimately intervene in criminal matters.

There is little evidence of the benefits brought to any community by this service.

There will certainly be an uproar by people with a vested interest in an effort to justify their existence but this decision is one that the Government would have carefully considered and should not be deterred from doing what should have been done a long time ago.
