Lazy posting. Without including a source this thread is meaningless.

Paphos: 5½ bookings per hour
Larnaca: 104 bookings per hour

Does that not say it all?

When I have travelled on the Intercity bus between Limassol & Pafos at certain times, it takes a short stop at a village (Episkopiana) where police get on and off the bus. Whether this is to diversify the force to ensure not too much favouritism, I don't know.

Paphos police have now put in a request for faster cars. Apparently, they couldn't outrun the speeding cars they were chasing...

Yes, but not residents of Pafos. Episkopiana is closer to Limassol.

I was talking-to a traffic police officer and he told my there not trained in pursuit driving.

So what chance do they have of catching a good high speed driver NONE!

And they want to put them in powerful cars!
