Police too busy!

Statistics certainly don't show everything, but they'll certainly show choosing the word 'lawless' was melodramatic and wrong.
It's an average area compared to other comparable areas across the country, and is one of the lower crime areas for Essex police: https://www.police.uk/essex/1/performance/compare-...

Not sure how your "evidence" contradicts my opinion. Try this thread for a classic case of incompetence:

The thread was pervaded by morons as usual and then closed after a bit of banter, but you'll get the idea.

It certainly does with your generalisations. I cannot comment on your personal experiences. bmw535i said:

I know, who'd alter their number plate? I bet you also have fake 'M' badges on your car, too.

I know Dibble, but why can't other officers on here admit the failings of some of their colleagues?
Now you're going on leave and nobody is taking on your outstanding cases, the victims will no doubt feel let down. V6 has stated this is a problem and clearly it is. These victims will not care that you're on leave or there are officers on sick, suspension, attending inadequate training, maternity leave etc.
What will happen when you return from leave? Will evidence have been lost? Will statements go uncollected? NFA due to lack of evidence? All are possibilities.
and yet you still blame "the police"?Now you're going on leave and nobody is taking on your outstanding cases, the victims will no doubt feel let down.

Is there any other body responsible for law and order then? Whose daily job revolves around investigating and prosecuting crime? If certain areas and officers are wholly incompetent, random, non communicative and unable to discharge their duties then surely you can accept that rather than put up fragile defences against the overwhelming facts. La Liga has statistics - great but back room admin figures cant defend the face to face appalling charades we have witnessed and lawless is the appropriate term.
When there is a burglary or theft around here its often not even reported as its widely known nothing will be investgated. In the case of the found jewellery the time it was dumped was narrowed to 10 minutes and yet the police never even contacted the organisation with a cctv camera less than 100m away that covers the only road in and out. How do you explain that failing??
I'm sorry LL but you can research what you like but I can assure you the local confidence in the Police being able to be proactive is nil for the various reasons already stated.
BMW's number plate thing was a bit of a farce too - an easy but unnecessary stop over a trivial thing then a sudden drive off without further action. Total waste of time.

The simple act of moving one letter [on his numberplate] has changed my life. It makes me feel good every time I see it. I expect you'll mock, but I had an extra plate made up to put on my mantelpiece. Whenever I feel a bit insecure, I just gaze it and I can't describe the boost it gives.

I'm really sorry but its this incredible attitude that its all a joke and not worthy of anything other than denial without taking anything on board that just typifies the institutionally poor attitude of the Police. Talk about not wanting to have ownership.tty police forces in their local areas will falsely arrest them and give us a rest.There are clearly areas where forces need a kick up the backside to act like they are supposed to, maybe its some sort of power thing whereby given the remit to do pretty much anything they can do very little and feel they cant be questioned. When questioned they are out of their depth and resort to fudging to cover.
You've done nothing to acknowledge any criticism of utterly inept handling of cases and zilch to restore any faith so well done with your entrenched methods of evading.
Ahm oot.

They won't accept criticism, it doesn't change facts though. Some officers on here have accepted there are failings, others are a bit more obtuse. I wouldn't worry too much about it.There are clearly areas where forces need a kick up the backside to act like they are supposed to, maybe its some sort of power thing whereby given the remit to do pretty much anything they can do very little and feel they cant be questioned.
