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.

    They dgaf, I called once bc my neighbours were in a very big fight, they were bf/gf. They never showed up, I waited for them for 3 hours. I also have been threatened multiple times, they don’t do shit about that either. Don’t expect anything from them, unless it’s about drugs, if someone died or if it’s about weapons. Basically the only things they react to

        I called 114, they told me they would send a car to check on my neighbours, they did not come so after 1,5 hour I called again and they said they were on the way but they never came. When I was threatened they did come, but they just told the people who threatened me to stop and the police were gone after that. I am always hesitant to call 112, because I don’t want to take their time. I know there are others that need the call much more than I do. The few times I have called 112, they forward me to the police anyway, so yeah
