CHIEF Superintendent Lacy says our police did not have the manpower to attend an incident of vandalism which had been reported (April 25).
The previous week, however, you gave notice of a police crackdown on road fund licence dodgers.
Is it the case that our police prioritise collecting revenue for the Treasury rather than protecting our people and property from crime?
Is it also the case that the police are becoming nothing more than a data collecting agency for crime, while spending their time doing the Inland Revenue's work?
