My husband did a similar role for a while (central policing team) - its going back to the old days of having a named individual who knows the shop keepers, knows the locals and can support them. </p> <p>Elsewhere community policing teams have been reduced or merged with response teams because there aren't enough resources to answer the 999 calls. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18283#post-264591 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 08:56:07 +0000 chdot 264591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's part of an explanation here -</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/SpokesLothian/status/923509017762258945" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/SpokesLothian/status/923509017762258945</a></p> <p>Yes. </p> <p><em>Presume</em> they are paying, but...</p> <p>Whether EE is a real 'thing' is a whole other question! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18283#post-264590 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 08:44:18 +0000 dougal 264590@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm not sure I understand the premise of Essential Edin's Cop. Is this a real policeman? Why do Essential Edin have a policeman? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18283#post-264578 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 22:17:18 +0000 chdot 264578@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only linked to photo.</p> <p>Should have been this one -</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/essentialedinpc/status/923575144383205376" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/essentialedinpc/status/923575144383205376</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18283#post-264575 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 21:46:02 +0000 Greenroofer 264575@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Awesome! PC Baker is the husband of a colleague, keen cyclist and regular bike commuter. I do recall stories from a couple of years ago that he was itching to get a Police bike, so I'm glad to hear that he's finally done it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18283#post-264563 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 19:57:52 +0000 chdot 264563@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Essential Edin Cop (@EssentialEdinPC)<br /> 26/10/2017, 16:40</p> <p>best way to get around the beat</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="http://pic.twitter.com/Bj3lUgJC43" rel="nofollow">http://pic.twitter.com/Bj3lUgJC43</a> </p>
