The new approach is laid out in papers being presented today Friday February 7 at a meeting of the Police and Crime Panel in Plymouth.

You don't need a centre you need coppers walking the streets and gaining local knowledge and the confidence of the local people.

The centre will just be a money pit that does very little other than house a group of over paid individuals sitting in sterile environments. It will then most probably be closed after a year or so as ineffectual.

Real world problems need real world actions.
