Dial 111 AND GET A TAXI ????

[Indo]

I can't even bring myself to reply to the self-serving justifications spewing from certain keyboards. This one is down there with the cops letting an injured woman die while they 'contained' an offender. Send a cab, indeed.
Sickening.

Oh not Lou as an ex MOT officer (you know the real nazis who didn't have the mustard to fight actual criminals) has an inside line into Police hq? somehow i doubt it.

Lou's long gone past the point of simple hatred to absolute delusional idiocy, which is quite an accomplishment.

Of course though the Police should spend there entire time ferrying drunks/druggies to whatever destination, god forbid taxis do this!

Opps i should add that we do not know the substance of the call, and Lou most certainly does not, although he would like people to think otherwise, which is kinda sad.

[bluninja]

Lou obviously has a direct line to god, how else would he know so much that nobody else knows? To be able to make such insightful judgements based on the limited information that has been made public could only done with divine sight

Strange I would have expected more from Lou in the religous ravings thread Perhaps if someone said god was a policeman, that would stir him into action :cool2:

Cost of issuing traffic tickets = police time. Cost saving to NZ govt/ACC by reducing severely injured people on NZ roads = Massive. If ya don't like it run for parliament.

Don't you mean, "if you don't like it, don't ride like a tard, and the cops will be able to spend more time on other stuff."

[scumdog]

C'mon people, SOMEBODY out there must agree with Lou 100% eh? Where is the support for HIM?
It's all very well agreeing with spudchucka & co. but you just KNOW he's going to give a biased and untrue opinion and aspect to this type of thing, hell we all know cops know nothing and lie!!!!!!




















Whereas slack-jawed mouth-breathin lack-witted improvident oxygen thieves ALWAYS know ALL the facts and ALWAYS tell the truth

Spudchucka and co, good on you for sticking up for yourselves. You guys shouldnt even be getting crapped on. You werent there, heck, im guessing you guys dont even work in Piha. One interesting fact i think would change a few peoples judgement would be the recording of the 111 call. whether or not the media get to publish that we will have to wait to know if it was the right circumstances to send a taxi, or a unit.
As for 56kms in a 50km area, stick to speed limit, cops are only out there to catch the BAD GUYS

Every call to police Comms is recorded, as are radio transmissions. The recordings will be disclosed to the PCA and will no doubt be central to the investigation. It would not be appropriate to release the recordings to the media, 1: because it would be insensitive to the family and 2: because there will be an investigation to follow all of this. Meanwhile the likes of Lou will continue to indulge in their trial by media mentality.

1: The scan is too small to be able to actually read the story.

2: When and where was this published?

3: Whats the relevance to this thread? Nothing! You are simply trying to score points and its a pathetic attempt at that.

4: What are you trying to prove?

Well i'm glad I am not in the teaching,hospital or policing professions-
and have to be subjected to "this type of put down" because of politics.

Anyone with half a brain, knows these decisions come from the top (government) and that its not the good guys who are actually doing the work and making decisions under pressure with limited resources that are at fault - anyone that says it is, is ignorant or narrow minded (in my opinion)

With all the privacy laws,hyped media and political correctness going on,
it makes it hard for the general public to come to any factual conclusion about anything.....and until the public is allowed to know all the true fact maybe its best to

Oh Dear, the Northern Communications manager has come out and as good as admitted that they stuffed up. Two patrol cars were available at the time they called a taxi. He said that the actions taken were not acceptable. He further said that women especially should be confident that the Police would respond when called.
He didn't want the public to lose faith in the 111 system.
Shame a woman died though.
The Police are already reacting to public concern over their safety. Temuka Police were called to an assault on a woman by a Magpie, they subdued the frenzied avian by wringing it's neck. Unfortunately it was a neighbours pet and flightless. I guess the locals were lucky that he didn't empty a Glock at it.

Police internal inquiry into 111 call by Iraena Asher
National News Release 3:00pm 18 October 2004
The Police internal inquiry into the 111 call made by Iraena Asher has been directed to establish what Police did in response to the call and why the decision was made to send a taxi.

The Manger of Northern Communications, Superintendent John Lyall and Superintendent Roger Carson, District Commander for North Shore/Waitakere/Rodney say this is an inquiry about judgement calls and not about Police resources.

Police reject any suggestion the call was not responded to due to staff being involved in road policing or the care and custody of remand prisoners. Two units were available for deployment at the time.

It would have taken a vehicle of any description more than thirty minutes to reach Piha by which stage Iraena Asher had left the address.

Police maintain there are times when taxis are sent in response to calls for transport help. Some people do call triple one when they break down or have been drinking and so a taxi is sent.

At Northern Communications 70 percent of calls do not fit the triple one category.

Superintendent Lyall says, "Staff at the centre are always told to err on the side of caution when making a judgment call and the inquiry being conducted will assess why the call was made to send a taxi."

How do you know she's dead, been near Piha lately?

[maybe]

I haven't read all of these but what I have read disgusts me, the police do the best they can with the information they have at the time, I don't know about you guys but I was not at the call centre when the call came in so I do not know what info they had.........My feelings go to the family & friends that do not know what has happened to there loved one.


And no I am not a Cop.
