"I'd imagine it's a form of triage that's come around because of under-funding, manning, and protection for officers. LvM" It’s a piss poor excuse to address social issues that should not be the job of the police who should be catching nasty scumbags and leave social issues to social services, except there aren’t any. | |||

"The first time we were burgled still lived at home , my dad put barbed wire on the fence where they climbed in. Police told my dad you must take that off because if they came back and cut their hands dad would be in bother " Sounds about right. Home owners defending their property against scum are easy targets for the police, not the burglars. | |||

"The police can't win. Get moaned at for not being visible enough on the streets to deter crime then criticised for not focusing enough on solving online crimes." Oh they don't have to win hunny... just be seen to be competent 
Not much to ask.
You know... dont Rpe and murder citizens... dont pass on information to drug dealers so they can take out competition... dont use a matrix team to bust the wrong house and accidently kill the 82 year old man in front of his wife... maybe don't get caught wanking outside a school in a squad car... or use your position with vulnerable women to impregnate 2 and threaten more with disclosing their details to former partners...

"A new report suggests that Police are more interested in being woke than solving crimes and that some offences are almost decriminalised What's going on here guys It's all over the news " it's not that they are more woke, but that the public perceive this. Because showing solidarity against discrimination means you have a partisan political view. Apparently then some policial parties are pro discrimination.
And while the robbery stats are woeful, priority should be given to online crime.
I do agree that online issues can't be attacked in the traditional way. However this is a cross border issue... So the best bet would be to have a multinational police force... But I'm guessing an electorate spooked by a "eu army" would likely be spooked by a "EU police force" or similar.

"The force is a corporation. Not there for the people anymore just there to make money. " There is no "The Force" In Scotland, there is a single Police Force. In Northern Ireland there is a single Police Force. In Wales there are 4 separate Police Forces. In England there are 39 separate Police Forces. On top of that there are 3 Specialist PoliceForces (Transport, Nuclear, MoD). And then the National Crime Agency. They don't even have the same uniforms and same set procedures. In some parts of the UK, they don't even follow the same laws. So when you see an appalling news report about a copper in London that murders someone, it's a bit rich to blame a copper in Barry, who doesn't even work for the same organisation. It's like blaming your local hospital for the Alder Hey scandal, even though your local hospital has no connection with Alder Hey in any shape or form other than they are both hospitals. If as people have suggested, the whole of UK policing is corrupted beyond repair, then you'd better get your thinking caps on and sort out something new or you are all fucked. I don't want to be in the UK in the period when you sack the whole current lot and then train up the new ones. Carnage! Interestingly, The Police Federation of England and Wales has repeatedly asked for a Royal Commission into Policing so that people can finally decide on what it is you want YOUR police to do.

Actually if the opinions of local communities were sought and we somehow (fuck knows how) got back to a position where we actually had boots on the ground and police stations that were open and manned, then those different perspectives and needs could be catered for. Yes, out here in the sticks we have fly tipping and drink driving issues. Just up and down the road in the nearest large towns there are major drug issues and the burglaries that go hand in hand with them. Then a mere odd miles away in each direction there are the common city problems you describe. But the police used to focus on local needs and local issues. They can't do that any more because like many public services such as the NHS they've endured financial cut backs and underfunding, piss poor leadership and management and a lack of support from the public based on social media and press hounding of individuals who don't deserve it. Yes there are some proper nasty cunts in the force. But there are in all walks of life, all the way up to the houses of parliament. Don't tar all with the same brush. A | |||

None of those things you listed related to what the report was about or what I raised though. Clearly you have an ACAB agenda you want to push though. "Its don't think am talking about checks in that post am I? Irrespaective that's litterally one mechanism, pre checks. Or applying the findings of these checks... Another would be anonymous whistle blowers. But... the police have the 2nd lowest rate of this activity from all public services... weird eh. Do your own research on the questions you asked... you are no absolved simple as you pose a question lol. I'll wait. I do like how you brush over the serious nature of the issues cited with the ultimate no shit sherlock statement... 'There needs to be tougher consequences for those found not upholding standards and decency.' We're talking police... ill remember to stick to your definition of the narrow scope of the post... I assume others must too... Also no agenda here... so not that clear after all hey doll | |||

"Hell, the police are so confused about their identity, they don’t know what they are supposed to be doing! This was the bit that a Royal Commission was supposed to decide. Gbat " But nobody knows what it should be anymore! Policing has become the fallback position for failing social services. It's no good just formalising that. | |||

"The force is a corporation. Not there for the people anymore just there to make money. There is no "The Force" In Scotland, there is a single Police Force. In Northern Ireland there is a single Police Force. In Wales there are 4 separate Police Forces. In England there are 39 separate Police Forces. On top of that there are 3 Specialist PoliceForces (Transport, Nuclear, MoD). And then the National Crime Agency. They don't even have the same uniforms and same set procedures. In some parts of the UK, they don't even follow the same laws. So when you see an appalling news report about a copper in London that murders someone, it's a bit rich to blame a copper in Barry, who doesn't even work for the same organisation. It's like blaming your local hospital for the Alder Hey scandal, even though your local hospital has no connection with Alder Hey in any shape or form other than they are both hospitals. If as people have suggested, the whole of UK policing is corrupted beyond repair, then you'd better get your thinking caps on and sort out something new or you are all fucked. I don't want to be in the UK in the period when you sack the whole current lot and then train up the new ones. Carnage! Interestingly, The Police Federation of England and Wales has repeatedly asked for a Royal Commission into Policing so that people can finally decide on what it is you want YOUR police to do. Gbat It’s a nice concept but the public can’t be expected to decide what they want ‘their’ police to do. Someone who lives in an inner city blighted by drugs, violence, sex trafficking etc. will have a different perspective than someone in a rural area putting up with fly tipping, road rage cyclists and their tractor being stolen. Most don’t even know what the police actually do. Hell, the police are so confused about their identity, they don’t know what they are supposed to be doing! Actually if the opinions of local communities were sought and we somehow (fuck knows how) got back to a position where we actually had boots on the ground and police stations that were open and manned, then those different perspectives and needs could be catered for. Yes, out here in the sticks we have fly tipping and drink driving issues. Just up and down the road in the nearest large towns there are major drug issues and the burglaries that go hand in hand with them. Then a mere odd miles away in each direction there are the common city problems you describe. But the police used to focus on local needs and local issues. They can't do that any more because like many public services such as the NHS they've endured financial cut backs and underfunding, piss poor leadership and management and a lack of support from the public based on social media and press hounding of individuals who don't deserve it. Yes there are some proper nasty cunts in the force. But there are in all walks of life, all the way up to the houses of parliament. Don't tar all with the same brush. A" You covered it in your opening sentence..'fuck knows how?' | |||

A You covered it in your opening sentence..'fuck knows how?'" Increased funding and a focus on localised policing rather than a one sized fits all model would be a start. Get shot of the middle management. Scrap the ridiculous recruitment procedures (I know long serving officers who have failed the current online assessments when taking them anonymously), the insane new 'Detective' program based on a 2:1 degree pass rather than life experience and common sense, reopen the closed local stations and put more boots on the ground. Simple. It all comes down to funding and spending in the right places. I see people daily bemoaning traffic cops on motorways as cash generators who should be out nicking burglars, as if there weren't specialist divisions of the police who pursue different crimes and all police were just 'police' without specific roles. Without adequate funding and leadership there's no hope. Wouldn't surprise me if at some point soon we see the Tories suggesting privatising the police as they do in the USA and outsourcing it to G4S or whoever is their current biggest donor.......

"I aprehended a shoplifter outside my local Co-Op a couple of months ago. I only did it because I thought her was assaulting a female member of staff. He was d*unk and it was 9am. I kept him there until the police arrived but they were reluctant to do so. It turned out this man had spent the week walking in and taking booze without paying. Bold as brass without a care for consequences, until one member of staff decided to stop him. He had been reported to the police by the manager and was he told not to try and stop him, but police would not attend or were even interested in the CCTV. The reason the police did turn up was a possibility of an assault, on him perpetrated by me. Thankfully I know what I am doing so no further action. He was given a lift home. After watching something on TV recently I learnt that police are no longer prosecuting shoplifters for any theft to the value of less than £200 and this is becoming a big problem for small retailers." Yep, as long as the shoplifter keeps the goods value below £200, they need have no fear. | |||

So everyone can pop to Tesco’s and get £195 worth of shopping and walk out and nobody will do anything about it. Yeah right. | |||

You will only get away with it so many times and their are a raft of 'local resolutions', and of course shops will ban you, and then councils will ban you from shopping areas, but you will have got £1000's in free stuff by then, and of course you have to get caught. | |||

I think it's more that the police aren't attending, not that they aren't prosecuting. | |||

"Move to Shetland, haven't been burgled in 54 years of living here and I don't even lock the door when I go out, or lock the car when it's outside the house. The only thing the police have to do is bust drug users and break up d*unken fights. Drugs on the island ? Are you that naive or just stupid? How?" | |||
