Well, well - Tony Hogg getting the PCC's slot - well done Tony.
However, you're showing your naivity trying to knit before you can sew!
How on God's earth does he think this 'cover' is going to work then? Phone call to Culdrose through ATC perhaps: Can you tannoy the police duty back up cab to get airborne please for a TWOC near Penzance?
Can you envisage the (what?) £60 million Merlin chasing some blaggers down the A30 (in a £1500 Astra) with FLIR in hand trying to coral them into a dead end calling ground troops for back up on the local police band?
More like: Phone call to '71 asking for the carriage of armed police officers tomorrow morning to Plymouth and they make their own way back later......Once every 3 months.
Bless you Tony - making all the right political noises right from the start.
