Do you agree that it is inappropriate for the MPS to classify some homicide cases as `A+' on the basis of expected media attention thus attracting a more resources (money and staff) towards the investigation?

Doesn't TfL's 3 October 06 press release which states that: 'the Police Community Support Officers would be deployed in mobile 'transport teams' in suburban areas and outer London boroughs and could be deployed to different parts of London on a weekly basis' directly contradict Assistant Commissioner Tim Godwin's report to the Coordinating and Policing Committee on 5 October 06 which states that: 'the teams will be ring fenced from abstractions'? Why is this confusion apparent after the Mayor's public announcement of the proposal?
