We live on a fairly busy intersection and would have an "incident" every few months. I've yet to find one time that the Police haven't been there within a couple of minutes. Over half of the time 1 of the people involved will do a runner, must be a head home to sober up before the cops arrive type deal.

Or maybe it has something to do with 90% of the crime taking place when only 10% of the cops are working, you know, night time.

if 90% of the crime takes place at night why are only 10% of the cops rostered on?

Looks like an "in house" rostering specialist to me.

Good question that. At best on night shift we have two cops working as an I-car but if your section mate is away on leave or sick then you are one up.

The nearest back up is 15 minutes away and they are generally always short staffed some won't be over to help unless it is something major. We cover a huge geographical area so if we are at one end of our patch and something happens at the other end we are 45 minutes to an hour away.

But for some strange reason the public thinks there are heaps of cops patrolling the streets at night and if they ring 111 there will be cop to help them in a matter of minutes.

They knew Gixser was involved and did it just to wind him up.

All class! What a fucked up world we live in.

Unreasonable 'sorts' the public huh!!! :/

Ha, I knew this understaffed thing was a myth!

[Ozzie]

Yeah it is all government, and blah blah blah!!!!!!!!

Tax hike?? WTF, don't they get enough money with the quota?

There seems to be a pretty screwed up perception of what is important, and it varies acording to time of day.

Top notch on the cops doing the booozers, but whoever draws up the roster needs to have a long hard look.

Not enough Poliice / not enough Money ???? More like not enough management that has a clue. All gone tooo PC I think, in all our forces!

[madboy]

Don't vent here. Give the Police the ammo to employ more Cops and stop bagging the reduced duty cop/non-sworn Police worker/civilian in the call centre.

Complain to your MP. Really easy to blame the Cops for not turning up when NZers won't wear a tax hike to cover the cost of employing more Police.

Or we could perhaps take a more holistic view and crack down on benefit fraud which would free up taxation funds to bring more Police on board, then the Police might be less inclined to take bribes from LTNZ and instead have the money to focus their resources on reducing crime, and if real crime started getting dealt with the public perception of the police might change and police might find their jobs more rewarding and then the good ones might stay and good candidates might be interested in joining and then the quality of police work would increase...

I've just realised, it's the fat lazy stoned bitch with the five kids running amuck at the end of my street who's to blame! I guess if I DON'T slow down, swerve and avoid her kids in the middle of the road then I might be helping society!!

Maybe if the police recruitment thing wasn't such a pain in the ass there'd be more coppers on the beat.

Has anything been done about that 2.5k in 12minutes jazz?

That does not work. i have tried. The MP (or Minister) contacts the Polcie Commisioner. And the Police Commisioner (actually, I think it was a Deputy Commissioner) says there are sufficient cops. So the MP says "I'm told there are enough police officers - piss off".

[Hitcher]

just when i thought my perception of the police force couldnt drop any lower, they have done it again---

Done what again?

OK, I'll go along with the story...

So you ring the cops and they send a car and a couple of officers around for a looksee. What do you expect them to do? The offending car has done a runner, there are no witnesses and no credible forensic evidence, apart from some broken glass and plastic. Nobody's injured and there is no significant property damage. So you feel better because they showed up, but what else is going to be different?

[Ixion]

Well , I can think of several reasons.

Firstly, leaving the scene of an accident is an offence.

Secondly, WHY were they so keen to bugger off ?And why did the accident occur in the first place.?

Pissed? Warrant out? Drugs in the car? Disqualified? Who knows , but it would have been a lot better use of police time finding out than ticketing Mabel for 61kph.

Is that on your bike or running slim? mate, cut down on your pork life and get fit, once you've done it then you can return to your ways .. in fact the police actively encourage you to be 'sloth' like;
