I'm aware of a police force in the Midlands that •was• sending officers on response calls before they had their 'fast driving' training. They were told to stick to the normal rules of the road, but put under pressure to get to jobs without delay.
I have no idea if it still happens, but I wouldn't be surprised.
It's a matter of resources - not enough staff for the amount of demand.
Not enough staff because people keep voting for promises of lower taxes - taxes pay for public services - like the police.
