Maybe it's time to create a new Special Constabulary where their schedules are based more like the Military Reserve or Retained Firefighters. They have to attend training each year, work as Police for a minimum number of days, be available for call up and receive pay while working and an annual Bounty if they fulfill the minimum number of days or more.We may just have to have a more visible police presence, council workers in hi vis jackets etc. If there is a spike the locals, wherever that may be, will have to just take it. Temporary orders, fines etc. Whatever it takes.
Local lockdown will be easier to sell and enforce than another national one when the problem is nowhere near the bulk of the population.
These are not normal times, we have to accept these measures, my opinion anyway.
