Everyone knows that ‘if you want to know the time ask a policeman’. Tracy Bagstock was rather taken aback when she did just that and was told by the police officer that he couldn’t give her the information. Asking him for an explanation he told her it was now Essex Police Policy that ‘no details of police operations and procedures should be given to the public as part of their clamp down on organised crime’.

Tracy asked him how telling her the time would come under the policy, he explained that in order to be effective, organised crime had to know the time. Reducing the opportunities for organised crime to be time aware, would have an adverse effect on their criminal activities. 

Being rather bemused by the answer, Tracy then called into Chelmsford Police Station and spoke to the desk sergeant who confirmed the police officer was quite correct and corroborated the story by pointing to the wall, where a light circle clearly showed the site where once had hung a clock.

Perhaps from now on if you want to know the time, you may want to ask 

your shiny new Police watch. That we just happen to be selling at an 

extraordinarily reasonable price.
