Heavy loads, toxic chemicals, rotating machinery, hot machinery, forklifts cranes they have all the risks of most major industrial sites.
And why exactly would it mean the whole police force would have to attend?
Surely jsut. handful of officers could move these peaceful folk on.
If not then these people are dangerous and pose and immediate threat to public safety if they will jist violently attack police on sight and should be an even higher priority.
If have thought a large number of children being forced into crime so activity and exposed to harm would rank above a domestic wouldn't you?
You are going to send a 'handful' of officers to 'deal' with a 100+ travellers by 'moving them on'?
Get real..... you would need to deploy a very large number of officers and tie them all up for hours to deal with an incident like this at the time...
Multiple arrests, children taken into police protection because the adults have been arrested, police assigned to stay at the scene to secure it in the interim, loads of vehicles and drivers required to transport prisoners, loads of places required in custody suites for thoose arrested, loads of CID diverted to deal with the 10's of prisoners in custody (who generally have to be dealt with within 24 hours of arrival at a police station) , many of whom may need appropriate adult due to their age or other issues.. ..
Lancashire only has 2,800 police officers (exc specials) total across the whole force only a small proportion of which will be available to respond to emergency calls on any given shift
(for a 24/7 shift coverage including leave, rest days etc at best you have 1/5 of your workforce available..... You also have all the police who are in specialist/non front line roles like anti terroism, child sexual exploitation, sexual offences units etc)
