Capper describes crime as the biggest problem but there is also a subsidiary problem, the traffic problem.

Gillman asks what advice the Chief Constable would give to a young constable joining the force. Sir Derrick says that a young constable must be courteous to the public, as the ‘man on the beat’ is best public relations you can have for the force.
