It is difficult to know how to react to a rise in burglaries in town in
the context of what happens in rural areas. On one hand, it would seem
to demonstrate that the uncomfortably high crime figures in the villages are not an isolated problem. Against that, the usual concern that the large town will suck in resources at the expense of rural policing raises its head once again.

Add
to this overall picture separate incidents involving stabbing and
shooting in the last week alone, you begin to wonder if burglary is to be relegated to a
non-investigated crime recorded for statistics only as the force is
committed to dealing with violent crime and threats to life.
Locally,
initiatives like Neighbourhood Watch are championed and can certainly be
an effective tool but the underlying worry is that the under-funded
Bedfordshire force is not viable in its current format; it seems that particular concern is not going
away.
