Now I am really confused. The article states that
"These officers provide an effective deterrent to potential criminals, by raising the awareness of staff, service personnel, service families and contractors."
but the article states that "Guns, a bridge and Army ration packs also went missing. In total, goods worth nearly £700,000 were taken in the UK."
hmmm
effective deterrent
goods worth nearly £700,000 were taken in the UK.
effective deterrent
goods worth nearly £700,000 were taken in the UK.
Hang on I get it now. It should read
"These officers don't provide an effective deterrent to potential criminals, because goods worth nearly £700,000 were taken in the UK. "
They just needed to combine the two statements.
