For that money, you could have got a police force.

Just curious, what, if any, is the extra income allowance for being able to communicate in English for the Tourist Police? FYI, in Hong Kong the Police that can speak English are easily identified by using red around their lapel service number as opposed to black if only Cantonese is spoken. It's easily visible from a distance.

But it's explicitly defined to be near the world renowned "Tinnie's Pies.  Everybody knows where that is.  Surely somebody in "Tinnie's Pies" can speak English.

What do the Tourist Police actually do? It seems something of a mystery. Apparently they used to get your money back from upstairs bars in Patpong if you reported it to them.
