Smart move gains respect for bobbies on the beat
WELL done Chief Constable StephenWatson for putting your walking officers back into shirts, tunics and helmets (“Bobbies ordered to wear their helmets”, August 23).
It is easier to respect a properly uniformed police officer than one dressed in casual shirts and baseball caps.
They are too like the everyday wear of some of the youngsters and criminals they have to confront.
As for saying they fall off too easily, wear a chinstrap as the military do when wearing more unwieldy bearskins. Did you hear of the semicolon who was jailed? He got two consecutive sentences.
