i'm a police sergeant with devon and cornwall police. i just wanted to talk about the police's experience of what's been happening the last few weeks. i've just arrived at exeter custody. i've come up here cos a male's been arrested for spitting in a paramedic‘s face. the gentleman's in the cell here with four officers in ppe, after he's kicked off. he's been restrained for a period of time. he's assaulted a couple of officers, causing injury to them. he's attempted to spit at officers as well as paramedics at the scene. we've had an absolute flood of reports from the public, who are saying there are street—attached people, people who are street drinkers, drug takers. we have struggled a little bit, because in the law it allows for someone to be homeless and to be out, because obviously they've got nowhere to get back to. but there are, as i've said, lots of people who are housed, who are currently going out every day, congregating in groups, drinking, taking drugs, causing anti—social behaviour, who are really causing a sort of problem.
