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.

      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
