ok so i just talk to my sister and she told me her friends car got broken into... whole glass was shattered, deck stolen, camera stolen and a bunch of other stuff. they called the cops and the cops said that they refuse to send a officer to the location and that they "do not have the man power" to take care of such a problem. So the person said to jsut file a complaint online. Is this right? can i file a dispute against this? im gonna call the station again and see if they will say the same thing cause they didnt get the name of the person who said they cant do anything about it in the first place.

wow, never heard that before.
So what kind of a message does that send all the thieves?

Dakine

cops are never there when you need them, and are always there when you dont.

moral: break into someones car, and youll get your copper you were lookin for.

I work for a local department (I am not a cop though), we take all reports, and send an officer to everything, it depends where you live though, bigger agencies and things like that, although it is not right, in reality have bigger problems to wrry about (shootings/homicides/gang activity) than a stolen cd player, and will just take a report online or over the phone, Im not saying its right, in fact I think that if an agency is lacking the man power to do everything, then they need to downsize the area they cover or get mroe people ... but no there is nothing you can do

fortunately, when my truck got broken into, the campus cops came and got me....

they still have to get involved either way in order to file a report for insurance. either way not having enough man power is not an excuse... in my small town population of 12,000...they send out at least 3 cars for anything and everything. a friend of mine had 3 on him just for a simple stop sign violation. they should have enough staff on duty to handle such cases

WOW LOL!!

Drackonn

that is because you have a small town, that is where coverage is better, in big cities property crime is not an urgent matter, they will take a report over the phone/file it and you will get your insurance claim, you will never see an officer ... I live in a city that is like this, but I work in the next town over which is small etc ... we send multiple officers to everything, and again I said lack of man power is not an excuse but it still happens ... either way human life>property all day everyday ... sorry ...



and to you - not all cops are dicks some are - but take cops out of the world and see how long you get to live in your house/keep nice things etc before some crack head shoots in the face while your sleeping because there is no one to keep the peace, or someone who normally wouldnt steal a car says, ____ it, no one is gonna do anything Im taking this guys car.

my city doesnt have those kind of things, if we do..its VERY rare. and all the cops here are kind of corrupt. they do anything to get you in trouble. most of them. but not all.

I agree with you somewhat, but if a criminal wants to steal a car, they are going to get it, police or no police. They do keep the peace to a certain extent, but those scum bags who have no conscience or social skills, are going to commit the crimes because they don't really care if they get caught. ****, jail would probably be an upgrade for them. That's the difference between normal thinking people, and douchebags who feel the need to take from others. They would have that mentality all the time, not just when there are no police around.

Go to your local donut shop, grab one by the ear and make him take a report.

people always complain about the high taxes. sorry man, but the reality is there isn't enough money to go around. serious crimes take priority. every one loses.

Damn Dakine, that sucks. Hopefully you can get this resolved. Just go to the PD yourself or with your sister and file it there and then get the report and send it to the insurance company.

I feel bad for her, but look at this way.


They are overworked and underpaid.

If its a high crime city they can only be so many places, would you rather they go to a rape scene or take a breakin report.

i personally _____ about the cops, but in the long run most are trying the best they can.

Drackonn

I dont think you read my post correctly, criminals are criminals and they will steal things regardless you are correct, but there are people in the world that would steal things, and commit crimes, if they knew they would not face a consequence, that is who the police keep at bay, people who are on the fence, and then see what happens to the criminal, and decide to stay legit ... the crime rate would increase exponential without police, but either way it still sucks
