PCSO's, (employed and controlled by over 40 different Police Forces), Neighbourhood Wardens, (employed and paid by, I do not know how many), Councils and an increasing number of Private Security Companies with guards. Is there cooperation between them all and the Police and do they trust each other? Not in the conversations that I have with all of the above. Yet all of them have pieces of the crime prevention puzzle, which put together could give real intelligence information. Therein lies a problem. The general public is outside of that circle and is generally not kept informed or involved in any of it. As Alfred Montopert stated many yess ago...."Do not confuse motion with progress,,,A rocking Horse keeps moving but goes nowhere!"
