iansheff Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I would have thought that the police wanted to be informed of suspicious behaviour, surely it is better to prevent a crime or catch them in the act rather than have to solve one.

The driver did not get out, but when they came back both of them were out of the van trying to push the bike off its stand so they could wheel it away into the van. Funny how you said none of this in your OP - so are you now trying to change your story. Did you actually see a crime being commited or not? A white van going around that you "think" looks dodgy is not enough for police intervention. What grounds exactly would they have to stop and arrest. However if the above did actually happen and you reported that to the call handler I don't believe for one second that they would have ignored it. Something smells like bull here... Feeble attempt to put down the police force me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rang 999 and asked for the police which means that they would be speaking to someone in Police Communications on the Parkway, which is very much part of South Yorkshire Police.

Anyway it's the same operators who take 999 and 101 calls. Very true though, the operators arent police officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be outside most drinking establishments,council offices and Houses of Parliament then. I have reported vehicles behaving suspiciously in my village - they are quite noticeable if you are actively aware of your surroundings. All of them drug dealers or buyers,funny how some of the people calling the police on here don't actively support arresting druggies or drug dealers.

Did the operator not take any details at all then. I'm surprised they didn't take a registration number at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on except for the location of the Communications Room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
