are you saying these people are forced to become police officers? are soldiers not warned that they may have to lay down their life to save the innocent?
however hard any job may be, its not anyones elses duty to feel something about someones elses career choice. im not having a pop, but thats why they call it "in the job"

There are people that think the police dont do the job of crime detecting/prevention as people think they should, as one thread on here thinks the police should be round at there house within 30 minutes of reporting a crime that happened two hours ago, as far as police go most of them go into the job to make this country a better place, yes they do have there misfits but on the whole they are got rid of

The full seven. Too many police knockers on this forum.

Got a lot of respect for the police.

I've had a couple of incidents where someone's been trespassing on my property, and I've had to call them out, and The police 've been fantastic!

No, he is not. He is saying that, considering what else they might be having to deal with, it's ludicrous to complain just because a police officer cannot be at your front door within half an hour of you calling the local station.

Me too......there are far too many people on the forum sat in their comfy chairs ready to criticise the police, but I doubt they would have the balls to do the job themselves.

I had an incident shortly before leaving Sheffield. The house burgled.
Yes, at the time I was frustrated over the three hour wait for a response. I was told not to enter the house untill they arrived and spent the time agonising over what I may find inside.

On reflection .....it was a "property" issue and not life threatening.
Annoying yes!

Maybe those criticising the police should direct their attention to the under funding of the force.

I have to agree with the last few posters, the Police make the best of a bad job.

I have had many an instance where I have been in a Police cell but I have never shared the animosity that some of my co accused have shown towards the Police, to me we they had a job to catch me and it was my job to try and evade that capture and nothing more.

Once my collar was felt then it was a fair cop.

Admitting my guilt was another matter, then started the game of me against the CPS...

Nearly four years ago, just two weeks after "old-dog" passed away, someone attempted to burgle my place. it was about 1.30/ 2am.

They got the living room window open, but thanks to my very feisty Jack Russell girly, who barked, and raised an "Alarum", they took off, double-quick, without being able to get into the house.

SOCO came, the next morning, to see if they could get fingerprints or DNA to trace the culprits, but, sadly, could not.

The toe-rags had taken off, so there was no point in the forensics chap attending there and then, in the middle of the night. there was no-one injured so, like your incident, there was no urgency in needing to collect evidence, so I was happy for them SOCO to attend in daylight hours.

Can't fault their attempts to get evidence, or their diligence in doing so.

I was, naturally, disappointed that they couldn't get any DNA/ fingerprints, but it wasn't for their lack of trying. I'd have liked to have seen them get evidence, and to see them kick the toe-rags' backsides up and down the street, but it wasn't to be.

You are right it is a big game once caught and have been in the same situation countless times in my teens to early twenties. I started to understand that it was a game for me as much as them and learned how to get out out of stuff quite easily, I knew when it was a fair cop then roll on game 2 the cps which was a different game altogether.

I look back and realise how stupid I was and wish I had taken the good advise that i was given but being very immature and having the I don't care attitude landed me at her majesties and with many problems from having a record !
