The police service where i work is larger than it ever has been but in my opinion the service we provide to the public is a disgrace.
We are now turning up to calls some DAYS later not just hours, that to me is disgusting. I for one am sick to the back teeth of having to apolgise for the shoddy service.
Thank god i'm coming up to retirement it can only get worse :cry:

I used to work in a rural area of Norfolk, where the nearest backup on nights was 45 minutes away.
I was double crewed on nights (covering 220 square miles) and was called to a burglary in progress. We went on blues and it toook us 30 minutes to get there and not surprisingly we got a gob ful of abuse from the house owner.
Now, I believe in being honest and truthfull, so I told the chap why it had taken us so long.
He was still miffed, but with the hierarchy, and duly made a complaint. I then got a 'carpeting' from my boss, as I had told the victim the truth.
Apparently, I was not to tell the truth, but come out with the 'party line'.
In answer to all the complaints and moans that people, quite rightly, have, from a grass roots level is.
More Police officers on the beat, who know what is going on, may prevent problems.
Simple enough really isn't it?
After 15 years of being on the Beat, I have had enough. I do not have problems with the Public, they are as frustrated as we are.
I am fed up with politicians who think they know what is going on, meddling with something they know nothing about.
Yes, there are some complete ar*es out there in uniform, but there are a darn sight more decent plod who are fed up with being dumped on by an unsympathetic, unknowing command structure, who are more interested in number crunching than the victim.
All I can say to those who are disgruntled with the service they get, is this
1)Complain
2)Get an application pack and join. It is still one of the best jobs to be in, and at least you stand a chance of changing the system from within.
Nuff said, going to find beer! :D
