Thats great TJH, but I wonder if anything was actually done? Community Officers seem to have little power and the youths are aware of this. Perhaps one of the reasons he was able to contact you so quickly was that he was not at the local nick being tied up in paperwork because maybe he does not have the appropriate powers of arrest. He can listen to problems, talk to the youths concerned but thats as far as it goes..........
and they will probably tell him to **** off
