i understand the police are buisy but just saying we are busy spending all our time looking for murderers and rapists is a fucking cop out.
you cant just police one type of crime, putting all your resources into a couple of cases and never worry about the others cases/crimes eg never worrying about burglaries.
if you dont police burgulary then everyone will just steal everything.
If there is good information about a crime no matter what it is and it can be solved quickly then, solving it quickly will increase the productivity/effectiveness of policing.
plus my problem at the moment is not the detectives prioritising, its in all the admin shamble. a detective cant work on a case/report if they dont know it exists.
The dude on the phone told me not to do shit till monday, because as far as i could gather it was going to take that long just to get transferred to the local police station, then be put through their admin and eventually get handed to a detective.
So i went to the local police station, first off i was given the whole priority speach, but then the policeman looked up my case, viewed the info id collected, actually listened and put it in their system to go to the next person in the chain. He also told me the name and number of this next dude in the path, who designates the cases directly to the detectives, so i could talk to him (he wasnt there to talk to in person). By getting the policeman at the local station to just type a few buttons id already sped up the process.
i dont think im expecting them find a stolen bike with nothing to go on instead of catch a murderer. as a voter/tax payer i just want the cops to do "something" to help me rather than hinder me.
the longer its left the harder it will be for the police to deal with it,when they deal with it, if they deal with it.
