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.

jti7m87My friend was robbed by gunpoint In Odense. He was forced to go to 4 different ATMs to withdraw all his money for them.
When he reported it and gave the police the route they went, they responded with “what do you want us to do about it”
The police didn’t care … they didn’t even wanted to get video evidence from the banks they vent by.

jti9ttyBloody hell. That’s pretty shocking for your friend, and then the behaviour of the police. It is negligence, imo. That should have been a priority to check cctv footage. Your friend can actually report those police I believe.

jtifdlmUnbelievable to be honest.

jtj09x2There is absolutely no possible way that this is a true story :-)
Reporting such an event is strictly governed by the chief of duty in dispatch assured through templates and next-in-line protocols :-)
The chief of duty is notified as soon as it’s reported (in opposition to other “smaller” tasks), and is therefore accountable by default.

jtidxdbIf this is true, youf friend should file a complaint. That is completely inacceptable.

jtifrmeYea i am calling a fat lie on this one, if there are people robbing with guns, the police will investigate it!

jtikei2It’s hard to admit that something doesn’t work right in Denmark, isn’t it? Police is pretty much useless in here

jtiuo8dThere is enough wrong with how the police works in Denmark, that we don’t need blatant lies.
No way in hell did someone call in a robbery by gunpoint, just to have the cops shrug them off.
Dude lied, get over it.

jtik2ggYeah robbery is a big no no and is handled very different than theft. Other cases like this leads to multiple years in jail for the offender, while simple theft is more a slap on the wrist.
If you want to be a criminal in Denmark dont do robberies.

jtj3mk6Either you are lying or your friend is lying to you.
Also, guessing this friend of yours would like some kind of financial reimbursement, he would need proof that he had reported a crime, and that a case have been opened. Source: I used to work as a consultant on insurance fraud and white collar crime in general.
