Police response time to 999 call ...what a joke
landyman Ash:
Blimey, not great!
I have to say at a recent off road weekend at Sibertoft and we were camped at the end of the runway
A load of joy riders drove onto the runway and were doing doughnuts and getting scarily close to the tents so we rand the police
We had 2 cop cars AND the helicopter (which did a full sweep of the runway) in less than 10 mins!!
Now that is service!!! :D

We see quite a lot of the Police for various reasons; Assaults, RTA's, 'knock-downs', plus their customers that are brought in
If they're called, due to a violent/aggressive patient, (like last Friday :wink: )they get there as soon as they can as they know where the calls come from & the call-centre seems to give the Hospital priority.
Admittedly, they sometimes have to priorotise their staff, same as anyone else.
When our BWSOW was almost nicked,they attended the scene to speak to witnesses within 15minutes. We were seen within 2 hours to be told what their immediate enquiries had wrought.
Someone we know at the Hospital had their BWSOW nicked & her hubby (attached to CID) pulled a few strings & the chopper was put up (or it was up already??)
Xtremeteam:

My husband used to be a social worker and worker in a remand unit, some of the stories he told me about the police turning up with between 6 - 8 copper to arrest a 13 year old lad for twoc it's a joke.

Admittedly :oops: , we (collectively) have a direct line to 'Wood Street' (Wakefields main Police Station) so we can cut out the call-centres :wink:
