They'd be better doing something about the sometimes feral nightlife in the centre of town. I know because I spent an evening there recently. There was one particular bunch of denizens who all sounded like they had Tourette's syndrome.

We have a bunch around here like that too - the 'Kent Street Gang'. They're a group of school-aged 'denizens' from the next street over who like to do silly things with other peoples' property and make a lot of noise in the process to impress their various female hangers-on. It's easy as hell to intimidate them, though... I play the bad cop (I reckon my haircut and Clint Eastwood stare helps) and Sally plays the good cop (they wouldn't mess with her even if they wanted to, because they know she could beat the crap out of any of them).

They pretty much leave us alone.

Damned shame this city has come to this, though... it wasn't this way when I grew up. Time to move...

Unfortuately that is an ongoing problem and makes the news regarly there has been a lot of talk about the merrits of CCTV but little action in that direction. It got tht bad at one stage the police made a plea on the news for girls to wear nickers as they were sck of the sight of them lying sick on the curb with no self respect or decency. One uni studient I knew who lived in an apartment above a main street shop used to use the red dot of a laser levil to frighten them on so he could get some sleep. That only worked if they wern't in a complete stuper.

The local command have been combating street violence & anti-social behaviour in Wagga Wagga for years by comitting more & more resources into highway patrol, round-a-bout cops, etc. It is working realy well as Keefy experienced. I am sure that the local cops are happy with meeting their financial budgets, though.
