I have several moans about the UK police, supposedly one of the best in the world"supposedly" that

was my impression when I moved to the UK


1-had 2 attempted vehicle break ins, brilliant conclusions, reported it, then they close it


2-Had finger prints taken from a crime scene once in a related robbery - open and closed again


3-in my latest case, a nuisance/malicious call, they will try to retrieve the number, but they say that due to data protection issues, they can only attempt



the common ground in the 6 years Ive been in the UK is that not one case was helped solved, so my effectivity rating for them is a fat zero, Nil, zilch , kaput, I feel for the UK Public as I believe they deserve better, Police are paid well, only for the public shortchanged, that is my strong opinion

It is so confusing how to deal with and think about the police as an organisation.

I agree with Brendan about the control aspect.

And yet when I attend Police Ward Panels, they report their problems openly as to how to deal with crime and the underfunding and so on. In a way 'it' (the institution) is a bit like the NHS, in that there are individuals in the NHS who really should notbe allowed near sick people, and far too many managers in both outfits.

You can always turn this around;


ie


You go do their job see how effective you are within the confines of how they have to work.....


Its easy to whinge about the police but how many times have you been raped, murdered or assaulted with a deadly weapon?


I think the police do a great job and they need more praise for the amazing job they do in the community.


Not people whining about how they didn't mount a full scale 'anti malicious phone call war' because someone got a heavy breather.


They have better things to do. Like catch murderers and try to stem the drug trade!

I have found the Police pretty good in Peckham.


They followed up on a malicious call my daughter received recently and put the oik into touch. This was related to a punch she had received from another lad, which was taken very seriously; she gave video evidence and we are waiting for this to come to trial.


I've only reported two serious incidents that I witnessed and the police responded immediately.


Also, my far from perfect but lovely daughter has been on the other side of the police's attention (!) and they dealt with it very effectively, with no complaints from me.


I think they do a pretty thankless, sometimes dangerous job fairly well.

The Police response to crime is proportionate. You have stated 3 incidents which you have reported. Whilst each deserves thorough investigation unfortunately Police manpower issues mean that some crimes will be higher priority. I don't understand some of the other points you have made such as the one about stabvests? It sounds like that gripe is on behalf of the Police.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
