Will the police be downgrading missing person calls?
Following on from my posts on the effects of police cuts on missing person search and Geoff Newiss’s post on police cuts I felt the need to do more research. Sometimes I wish I didn’t bother… Here is a quote from a Home Office Report from last year that I had missed until now … [...]
