We all know the label, that police are thugs; well, I argue against this theory and stand firmly in praise of their efforts despite the lack of support from some of the public and other state government agencies.

Through my own initiative, and with police communication, I have come to the conclusion that their resources and support from the state government (or opposition depending on what state), have seen their ability to act in the best interest of all Australian's decline.

IN OTHER NEWS:

It is not that they don't wish to assist a person in trouble; rather, it is the restrictions on their duty that are making it harder for them to maintain a person's safety and in light of criminal activity, the police are actually there to help and save people's lives.

Such restrictions have seen the centralisation of not only the police stations, but also of their ability to have scientific tests completed.

Only one facility in the whole of Victoria is designated the role of testing blood for cases against criminal activity.

This in fact has not only affected the role of the police but also has seen thousands of jobs disappear from science and research.

It also appears that scientific research has been affected by the closure of Prince Henry's Hospital on St Kilda Road in Melbourne back in 1991.

Police in the local area are underfunded and are needing to have their financial status improved.

But for some unknown reason, throughout the states, their resources have not been replenished enough to respond to incidents in a timely manner or evaluate the scene as per usual.

An example of how messed up the systems are, a person in a car, fleeing from harm, has an accident; the bystanders call for help, the police respond, and so does the ambulance.

Yet for some unknown reason, the incident becomes not a medical issue, but a mental health issue, not a police issue. A medical nurse in hospital may send the blood test sample to the police, but it never arrives.

Any documentation that reveals the truth about the correct healthcare of a patient can actually be tampered with? Without the correct evaluation, how is the matter to be handled in court? How is the matter or a person's health to be dealt with?

SEND A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Well, the answer is simple; evidence is eroded, it is a mental health issue where there is no scientific evidence of whether there is a condition or not, but an assumption of hearsay by staff that evaluate the actions of a person based on the thought of staff when they were not at the scene.

And the matter is taken out of the control of the police.

The proportion of state government funding for police within the Albury-Wodonga area as well as others, seems not to assist in the ability of police resources.

And it is not Mr Clancy's fault, for he's trying his best. I know in my time the police have actually been a great support and have assisted the best way they can, but this is dependent on how well solicitors carry out and act in the interest of a client.

People blame the police for all that goes wrong, yet they are always there to assist people when they need them. It's just a shame that people confuse the evidence.
