In a utopia and where Police Scotland have unlimited funds it would be wonderful if there were sufficient officers to fulfill all his wishes.
We do not see the advantage of a Police Office in Newton Mearns, or next to the charity chops of Clarkston.
We wish our police officers out on patrol, not waiting about for a customer to call in person.
In addition would in not be fandabydosy if there were 14,000 officers in Scotland and could police on the beat AND in response vehicles.
As to officers on bikes?
We feel that when a person phones for the police to attend they usually want them to attend very quickly.
How long would it take and officer to cycle from Netherlee uphill through Stamperland, Clarkston to Busby.
The initial report of a fight in a Busby pub, could well be a murder by the time the exhausted officer gets there to break up the fight.
