Yes, but the resources in training all these police on what to do, how to understand it, would still be VERY expensive.<br clear="all"><br><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><div style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:rgb(127,0,127);font-size:13px"><font color="#002060" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 13px/normal Calibri">

Hi all. Many of the comments seem to assume that police officers will be dedicated to this. I think it is more likely that this will be done as part of regular police patrols. Police already engage in a variety of proactive activities while patrolling, and having them note the locations of open APs in the log will be easily slotted in to their existing duties. Even targetting specific areas is consistent with their existing duties. During a typical shift a police crew will be tasked with patrolling a variety of areas anyway.<br>
<br>
Modern policing doesn't work the way most people seem to think it works. A lot of effort goes into intel and practive activities. If intel suggests that open APs are related to a significant amount of criminal activity (eg fraud) then this could indeed make sense.<br>
<br>
The letters will presumably be sent out by public servants, so this won't drain operational resources either.<br>
<br>
It may or may not be a successful program but I don't think it will be a significant drain on resources.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
