Need police on the beat

- Dan Butler, Port Elizabeth

APART from the general level of crime throughout the country, I’m extremely concerned about our beautiful suburb, Summerstra­nd. A criminal’s haven it’s become! If it wasn’t for Atlas, ADT and some other private security companies, what would the level of housebreak­ing, murder, rape and petty crime be?

Where are the police?

I demand, a frequently used word nowadays, bobbies on the beat!

It’s our paid-for right to be protected.

We never see a patrol van, let alone foot patrols! Come on SAPS, what’s your motto? It used to be protect and serve.
