The New South Wales Police Minister, John Watkins, says the handout of funds to continue the police strategy Operation Vikings will depend on application from local area commands.I make an application to get the Vikings?
The Government is allocating $3 million to continue the high-visibility operation over the next 12 months Mr Watkins says he will be meeting with Deputy Commissioner Dave Madden to discuss the plan's strategic roll-out.
"The local area command will make an application and if it is considered that it is a useful way of extending the extra funds available, it will be successful and will be funded," Mr Watkins said.
"But the results are in it works, it's led to a high number of arrests and it's also leading to the prevention of crime," he said.
WarLord triples Vikings raids Carr pledges $20m
As Bob Carr stood by his helicopter he pledged to stalk, interfere, and harass citizens to get hold of all "big enough's."But are they big enough or has Carr just got a fat? Like it would be okay if helicopters were used to save people?
By No Pocket Hole 1 July 03
THE BIRD: But at what cost? Did it prevent crime? And were the people who were arrested committing crime? Or was it just because they were in the wrong place at the right time?
I notice people being annoyed at police because sniffer pups were between them interfering with what they were doing. I noticed people looking up at Pol-Air crossing the road without looking left or right or left again. Dangerous? Or crazy? Is this community policing or political grandstanding? Remains to be seen? Or scene to believe?

Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service. The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.
Australia's Political Underworld...& their enforcers
The promotion of law and order means money to big business. Profits from insurance, security fixtures, patrol services and the like can only continue to grow if the perceived threat of uncontrollable crime wave escalates. In the past few months there have been many examples of the true nature of our blood thirsty politicians and their sinister attempts to spoon-feed a not so gullible public with their repetitious rhetoric.
Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.
Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep. Another word for it is sleaze, yeah. Another word for it is workplace harassment. Another word for it is bribing a Police Officer. Another word for it is misleading Parliament.

Corrosive
Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House. Small who suffers from the little person syndrome is the ideal bend over boy who gets shuffled through his corrupt actions. Rolling the legal system for him after the fact, just like his predecessor Roger the dodger Rogerson.

He should be taken to the task along with his partners in crime like Clive Small to account for those people who like my self have been maliciously assaulted and who have complained, without any service and those who cannot speak for themselves who were murdered, like Terry Falconer. Terry murdered in custody.
