"The force is joining a national experiment to assign small teams of regular, special, and community officers whose job is purely to patrol one electoral ward. Nothing short of terrorism, murder, a rail crash or large-scale incident will cause commanders to pull the teams out, so they will be given plenty of scope to forge links with the community. The strategy harks back to the 1950s and 1960s when even the sleepiest villages had a small manned police station. But many were closed because there was not enough crime to justify keeping them open."
