We thought you might be interested to know that in the last 24 hours 27 people were arrested, some of them for more than one offence. These only represent one element of police work, which can be really wide ranging, but it is an insight into what we do.
An arrest is often just the start of an investigation and happens when someone is suspected to be involved in the commission of a criminal offence and there are reasonable grounds for believing the arrest is necessary. Often people are interviewed under caution without the necessity for an arrest to be made.
