Wagging, when a task comes up only one aircraft will be despatched.
TVP will be paying for just that response not 23 responses. Because of the central control system that aircraft will inevitably get on scene late, and not in a position to offer a resolution. The force will end up paying for transit times and will not benefit from the marvelous 'service' that the 2 TVP aircraft and the crews now give those forces, that area and the very important - public.
Your arguments are all 'politically correct' - blinkered, and not necessarily accurate, as were your observations about TFO's v neighbourhood policing. You will probably find no officer on the beat willing to stay an extra 5 hours collating digital evidence for no pay and no benefits other than, love of the job and the realisation that air support counts and brings in prisoners etc - results.
And that is - priceless, and that is going to be lost.....
