Pray for police to help catch criminals

Oh yeah, I think this is really going to help!

HELP is at hand for police who fear they haven’t a prayer of catching certain criminals.

The Christian Police Association is asking the public to pray for officers to help them to solve crimes – because they believe they have evidence that it really works.

Don Axcell, executive director of the 2,000-member association, told Police Review magazine: “In one area an officer was investigating an incident but he had not been able to apprehend a suspect. He encouraged a church to pray for him – and within days a suspect had been charged.

“In another area an officer encouraged churches to pray about domestic burglary and over the year it came down by 30 per cent.”

But he added: “We do not discount good police work, which is why we call this circumstantial evidence.”

"evidence"?

Certain levels of the Police hierarchy are not traditionally known for their "superior intellect"; seems like this bunch are some kind of elite team self-selected for their lack of reasoning power.
