The police are really good at solving murders and serious crimes but crap for the majority of 'every day' crimes that people report on a daily basis.
That's naturally going to leave people with a s
t opinion because it's all about what matters to them, for example a stolen car or theft of a pedal cycle that just gets filed without a cop even casting their eyes over it.
What matters to police being traffic offences. It’s funny that even the police themselves admit their sThat's naturally going to leave people with a s

I'm not sure that improves things very much to be honest!
Hence, I guess you’re part of the problem All the Police care about are traffic offences tbh. It’s why you have such low support from the general public. It’s not numbers of Police, it’s how utterly inept you are as an organisation. But a wider topic for another day. carlo996 said:

Traffic matters take up a minute amount of police time, I've been in the police for knocking on 20 years now and I've never had targets for traffic matters, I've never been on traffic. I deal with high level criminality, counter terrorism, drug dealers, armed criminality as well as all manner of other things. Look at how few officers make up traffic departments and you'll see it's the minority compared to investigation teams and other specialist roles. For example, domestic violence units will have significantly more officers and resources attached to them than roads policing. Acquisitive crime teams have more staff allocated to them than roads policing teams, as do response shifts that don't get time to deal with traffic matters.
To put it bluntly, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Given that the general public have no time for the Police and think they are hopeless......i'd say I am in the majority To put it bluntly, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Unless you can explain how the prisons filled themselves to capacity of course?

The majority isn't always right. It's often just repeating received, unevidenced "wisdom".
Or the result of being on the end of crime that the Police couldn't care less about.....I’ve been on the end of crime the police did care about.
I think the reality for a lot of people is they want the police to pursue crimes, just not the ones they commit like speeding, probably a bit of cash in hand building work avoiding VAT and the builder paying tax, maybe a little antisocial behaviour, uncontrolled dogs..

About five years ago, there was a guy with an Akita in our village. I used to chat to him, but used to keep a bit of distance between me and the dog. One day it lunged up at me, but thankfully I was out of range and he had a secure grip on the lead. It really shook me up. I havn't seen him or the dog since.t and never walked.
