Poodle: Nothing We Can Do About Loansharks

[scroobal]

The whole NPP programme failed because it was implemented as a PR execise. The Japanese where they copied from got it right. The Japanese Koban system is much smaller and based on Officers who are going into retirement and very much the village pooliceman who knows everyone. The chap does his daily rounds and notifies the HQ for help when something is not right. He is the ears and eyes of the "village".

In Singapore, it is a reporting centre for Police reports. They also respond to cases and have no time for anything else.

They would do better if they have centralised rsources and target crimes more effecively.

Whatever happen to the Nighbourhood community watch then?, where the police use to patrol the prectint on their bicyles from the Neighbourhood Police Post??

I am looking at the small little sticker given out on their PR rounds years ago, sticker a bit faded...call tel 1800.....9999

We have 'village spies' the RC members who report to their 'master's voice', whom they should be doing good for the community they live in, are up to no good.

These RC's can be linked together as a network to the Neighbourhood police post, to notify them of something is not right. If you have these 'watchful eyes' helping each other to look after each other property, then the loan sharking activities would be best, kept to a minimum or none at all.

Well, you've placed your finger on it. Our professional services (e.g., police and army) have been usurped for political purposes and that is the reason we seeing it cracking up.

For the last 45 years we've bought into the PAPzis' propaganda that they need sweeping powers to run the country. What have these sweeping powers done? They have turned out weak, cynical cops and even weaker politicians.

Scroobal is right. I'm impressed he knows that. NPP originated from mid 80s when Booz Allen Hamilton consultancy coming to collect millions in budget that police had to spend on consultancy, the beginning of scholarship culture.

They simply copied the Japanese Koban system, recommended it in their "researched" report, and SPF implemented it. Some police scholars got even brighter ideas. One NPP per SMC. They failed like shucks and shits in terms of policing effectiveness and efficiency, and cost tons of dollars to maintain. Many lower ranked but street-conscious police officers resigned over these craps and many NPPs got closed down.

On the higher ranks, of course nobody will admit that they got conned by Booz Allen Hamilton (Booz or BAH for short) and quietly reduced the number of NPPs and shifts for 24/7 to morning-evening only.
