More Suggestions For Safer Services

Today community members I speak to on a day to da basis are all brain storming ideas to provide better protection and safer driving for bus drivers. I personally haven't thrown them out the door or window, I treat them each one as a reputable suggestion - I suppose on a larger broadspect we need to lobby the NSW Government for some important changes.

Each recommendation I would look at: weighing both the positives and negatives for all stake holders and finally decide to use the ones that will be used primarily to bring the best result for the good of the community.

One of the suggestions provided was that the bus operaters have under cover police officers sit behind bus drivers on each trip to be the witness to the rock throwing - thus providing more proof to the courts of the actual incident being witnessed. The under police officer would be more advantaged to provide a better description to catch these criminals.

A Correctional Officer that I have spoken too has advised me that the people that are incarcerated that come from our area do not have much self-esteem, due to one or all of the following factors: being drug related, having little or no parental proper guidance and/or back have personal issues that relate to a mental disorder or some type of depression.

So, you can decide for yourself which of these would be best to be used to make the community safer. Then you can provide feedback to ourselves.
