00:00Hello, my name is Megan Bainbridge and I'm a reporter for the Lancashire Evening Post and the Blackpool Gazette.
00:05Today I went out into Lancashire to ask the people what they thought on the amount of community police officers there are across Lancashire.
00:10Here is what they said.
00:12Megan, how are these people coping?
00:14I think they patrol enough, but I don't think enough crimes get reported.
00:20Most of the time it's stuff like teenagers messing about, and the police tend to arrive too late to do anything, or the kids just don't care.
00:29Who do you find interesting?
00:31To be fair, I don't really see them around campus more than anywhere else.
00:35It could keep people safer.
00:37Clock and timer.
00:39A little bit, but I know security is covered by campus security, and they tend to be better at making the situation.
00:45I'm Todd, originally from Reading, back downtown.
00:49I haven't really noticed much of a police presence in the last couple of years.
00:55But I do see them around, but not doing enough.
