In response to J E Bartlett (Jan 14), I am sure the Chief Constable decided his attitude to zero tolerance many moons ago but clearly any statement would be expected in the coming months.

I was quoting Hove as a good example, not to be limited but to be extended throughout Sussex and preferably the nation.

The benefits are known and the public want improved policing, so it is logical to make the point early.
