update on my msg about police response to my call:  i'm grateful to
trevor m who heard my call via his radio that (fortunately) he'd
forgotten to turn off when he went to bed.  he called the police on
his cell. 'phone and that's why they came out.  while i thank saps for
coming, it seems this is another instance of a lack of radio
communication between residents and saps.

i hope their recent radio silence is investigated.  it's not
encouraging that residents and businesses have donated money for
radios that have been given to saps for free and that aren't being
used effectively to help us fight crime.  i thought saps had 3 radios
but please correct me if this is wrong - one in the radio room,
another in patrol car 1 and one with insp. nel.  if this is so, at the
very least, the radio room should be able to respond to a channel 3
call.

by the way, the other instance i referred to (when saps came quickly
to stop a fight at the first party), happened before we had radios;
i'd called patrol car 1 on my cell. 'phone.

thanks trev for helping out.
