Our local supermarkets do have security staff, but they are limited in what they can do.
They can only physically detain someone wihtin the limits of the law ('reasonable force') and detain them whilst the Police are called.
They are not allowed to earch anyone or theor belongings to prove theft.
Police to not attend.
Security staff have been assaulted, but more often jeered at or ignored as their presence cannot stop the theft without police support and the thieves know it.
I don'tknow about X(wastwitter) but the local police group on Facebook is very useful for the public and for the police. For the former frequent updates are given of road closures after accidents and for the latter there have been a number of cases of misssing persons being found after police appeals. Perhaps it would be wiser to criticise from experience rather than ignorant hearsay.
Canary, thats all wel and good but you dont need a plod to do that, in nfact it ubdoubtedly is being done by a civilian.
We need to adopt zero tolerance, it has been shown (NY) that doing that has a knock on to aother crime, if only freeing up officers to deal with bigger crime.
But we wont, might get plod to arrest the far right for shouting at a dog I suppose.
