We've been in regular contact

If you were to follow this link here then you would see that there is a gentleman in Birmingham (the one in England by the way) that has been incorrectly visited by the Police numerous times by mistake.

Leaving aside the fact that one would hope that officers would be able to think "haven't we been here before?" by, oh, I don't know, the twentieth or so time they were calling at the wrong house I am struck by the fact that, in their defence, the Police have said that "Officers have been in regular contact with the occupier to apologise for the mistakes" which strikes me as an odd defence.

It's not so much that they're apologising that I find odd, I'm all for them apologising, it's more that the fact that they mention "in regular contact" as if it's part of the defence and not part of the problem. The fact that it's a regular occurrence is exactly what you're apologising for.

Oh well.
