SO Supt Don Brown of the Bolton Police wants all law-abiding people not to get alarmed at the dramatic rise in street crime and robberies.
What are we supposed to do, give a big cheer?
Of course we are alarmed, and a lot of us terrified, when we see crimes nearly doubling in one year.
What we want is zero tolerance now, not another set of plans to tackle this terrible problem in the future.
