"I would like to warn anyone who is thinking about travelling into the West End to commit crime to think again. Not only will there be more police and community safety officers out on the streets but we will be deploying undercover officers to target offenders in the area."

This quotes suggests the automatic increase in policing for those traveling to the west end because the increase of street crime. This quote also suggests there will be undercover police which will be even more difficult for thugs to comit crimes and will hopefully decrease the number of street crime. This will be useful for my essay to give another point of view from the police and what they tend to do to crack down on street crime.

Its not always you hear words from someone who have been attacked in this manner in which i believe is useful for me to use in my essay.
