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.

    Pretty standard.

    Back when I got kidnapped and assaulted they dropped the case within 24 hours. I’ve never seen so little effort put into something seemingly serious.

    If I am ever the victim of crime in Denmark again there is a 0% chance it will be reported.

      I know right!!! I’m sorry that happened to you. As a woman this is really scary.

        Not sure why it would be different for women. Perhaps it’s harder for you to defend yourself, but in terms of violence, men are more likely to be the victim, so overall it is probably pretty even.

        Eh. Nothing much.

        They heard I had money, so they tried to extort me, beat me up a little, threatened to cut off my fingers, and then gave up when they realized I wasn’t gonna give them anything. I knew who two of them were and told the police, allegedly they interrogated them and then decided to drop the case immediately after. Although I didn’t find that out until weeks later, I thought they were actually working on it.
