Hi, I wanted to ask about the police here. I tried to ask for help yesterday, when we wanted to report a thief. I had to call 114 multiple times, because they were busy and asked me to call back… the third time when they asked me to call back again, I told them I’ve been told the same twice before. So they finally talk with me, and tell me they can’t do anything, because we didn’t see the person actually stealing & I have to report it online. We had the thief nearby for the whole time I tried to get a hold of them, but nothing.

I am from Eastern-Europe, where police gets paid less and isn’t as praised as here, but when I want to report something, they immediately do the paperwork and try to help. Why is it so different here? Do I really pay this high amount of tax to be told to report stuff online? Which, by the time I get home and get to sit down in front of my computer to actually report it, is a lost cause.

I am really not sure and been wondering, because this was my first experience here with police, and it was a bit upsetting. Especially the part when they ask me to call back, not even once haha.

    Only reason to report theft in this country is to get the paperwork to file for your insurance claim. I’ve had pickpockets and break ins a couple of times and everytime I was told to report online.

      If they’ve broken in they’re burglars and not pickpockets :)

      edit: totally missed the and, my bad.

        He is clearly describing two different scenarios. IE: someone steals your phone on the street vs someone breaking into your house.

      Came here to say the same thing.

      Unless you are in danger or anything like that it is almost impossible to get the police to take actions and even then it is. The police in Denmark are generally unfunded IMO

        I would agree, but I just came home from a party where we had 2 officers show up to go “guys, lower it or we come back to take the Soundboks” .

        I mean, fair. I did wonder how a party in a courtyard like that was possible. Anyway, they’re still there.

        We have police, they’re around.
