Nice try Max
If you read my post, you will read that I don't believe that any remote area crime will increase purely due to this perceived new lack of air cover.
If you are up to date with things you will realise that NPAS is and will be providing air cover 24/7 for the remote areas that rural forces themselves didn't provide before NPAS. Now why was that? The lack of air cover that Shy mentions simply doesn't exist, as the fact is that remote areas are now covered more than they ever were before NPAS.
You asked if I thought that what we did was effective, of course I think we are effective, and you may be surprised to learn that we don't just cover remote areas. If you continue to read my post, you will understand that the weather may well be a greater factor as to why crime may increase on a particular night at a particular location rather than any air availability, because we are so effective.
