The director of VIP Security, Mrs Teri Pastean, said police often took several hours to arrive after an alarm call and some clients were not prepared to pay extra for a private security officer to attend when the alarm was activated. She said the security industry was growing and she could understand why police did not want to attend every alarm. "You pay for an ambulance, maybe you should have to pay for the police." As "part of the plan to get back to basic policing, Assistant Commissioner George Davis flew to New York to study its hard-line approach, dubbed zero tolerance.

Introduced by a former New York commissioner, Mr Bill Bratton, and adopted by many police in Britain, the theory involves using more resources on minor street crime rather than on major, sophisticated offences. Mr Bratton argued that police should reclaim the streets and not ignore minor, anti-social offences which ultimately result in an esca Inside Story: The Agenda section has become Inside Story.

As counting of votes after yesterday's state election wound down, it had lost at least nine seats seven to the ALP, one to the National Party and one to an Independent Liberal. Three seats were still in doubt. If they are lost by the Government, this would leave 24 Liberal seats, (down from their record count of 36), 18 Labor MPs, one National and one independent Liberal. The Liberals' vote was down by about 14 per cent on its 1993 showing, its losses being divided almost equally between Labor and the Australian Democrats. The Tourism Minister, Mr Scott Ashenden, lost his seat to the ALP.

Opposition Leader Mr Mike Rann said: "Labor is back in business and back with the people that count and aiming to the future because that's the only way to go "We've had an enormous swing against Liberal divisions, against privatisation but, most importantly, I think the community and the electorate are crying out for a commitment to the future." The Federal Opposition Leader, Mr Kim Beazley said the swing towards Labor was a good sign for the federal Labor party. He said: "South Australia having made the statement that you're Police to be From PI Under the system urgent matters would be dealt with immediately, but less urgent matters may result in a wait for an available unit, the matter being dealt with by a police officer over the phone, an appointment being made for. police to visit at a mutually convenient time, or the member of the public being asked to visit a station. Mr Severino said victims were tired of waiting hours for police to visit after house burglaries. He said it would be better to make an appointment rather than arrive in the middle of a night-shift.

He said police would have to work with the privatised Intergraph dispatch system so callers could receive on-the-spot advice from police. Police figures show that in 1996-97, police attended 90,864 alarms, of which 97 per cent were false alarms. Mr Severino said private security firms were using police as the first response rather than doing the job themselves. Smokers wanted Smokers: Check out the very last free 1 997 how to quit talks.

In 1993, Labor lost government in a landslide defeat following the State Bank collapse. The SA electoral commissioner, Mr Steve Tully, said the final makeup of the Parliament would not be clear until next week. lation in serious offences.

Zero tolerance has led to a massive drop in reported crime in New York and Victoria police are set to use similar tactics. "We talk here of keeping the rise in the crime rate down, they are talking of actual turnarounds with a 45 per cent reduction. It is phenomenal stuff," Mr Severino said. He said police were looking at ways to issue immediate interim intervention orders to speed the process in domestic violence cases. The number of applications before the courts has jumped from 7626 in 1992 to 17,055 in 1995-96.

Under the proposed changes, Eolice of a designated rank would able to issue interim orders on the spot in the same way a sergeant can bail alleged offenders. At present only a magistrate can issue an intervention order. Police will also drastically drop the amount of time they spend at non-injury vehicle collisions with a possible saving of paperwork hours a year. Si.i Iff I ill While stocks i last.
