Security Review

CCTV Not effective and too expensive!

  

After much deliberation, and taking advice from security companies and the Crime Prevention Section of the Metropolitan Police, the Board of the London Yard Management Company have completed its review of security at London Yard.

  

The main conclusions are:

  

1. That security patrols should be visible and lighting on the development should be improved. Security staff are now more visible than before and improvements to the lighting are being carried out.

  

2. According to the police, CCTV is not effective unless it is manned by security staff 24 hours per day. This would cost £87,000 for the CCTV and an additional £144,000 for the necessary security staff. There is no way that the money required could be found.

  

It is true that London Yard has an occasional break in and, more often, vandalism to vehicles. However, according to the local police inspector, compared with the rest of the Isle of Dogs and other areas of central London crime at London Yard is extremely low. Even with the expenditure of large sums of money it is unlikely that it can be reduced much further. During the recent police initiative again street crime, all police patrols were taken off the Isle of Dogs for use in other areas. This was due to the low crime rate on the Island.

Q: How many Chicago School economists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. If the light bulb needed changing the market would have already done it.

Q: How many mainstream economists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Two, one to change the bulb and one to assume the existence of ladders.
