I have lived in Norfolk for just over twenty years and in that wonderfully pleasant time I have only seen one - yes ONE - police patrol actually walking up our lane. He was somewhat put out when I asked him to wait while I took a Photo to record this 'event'. This happened some fifteen or so years ago. Before then nothing - since then nothing, not even regular patrol cars.
During my time here I have been informed that our County Council no longer employ Policemen and Policewomen but they do employ Police Officers. I am none too sure of why there is a difference in the title but word has it that their job description has changed along with the title. It would be interesting to find out just what a Police Officer is employed to do.
Any ideas?
