Why are police so useless and dont try prevent things

[Kitty3E]

I'm having an issue with upstairs, im on my phone typing this so excuse mistakes.
Phoned police after last straw of upstairs who kicked my door three times as he left to go out.
He purposely stamps on the floor, walks arlund in boots 24/7 on laminate and makes noise whilst he knows im in a particular room. I understand perfectly these things arent a police matter

I called police for him kicking my door three times earlier and just as he came in at 2am

I called police at around 7pm, they just turned up at 3.40am woke me up to say they dont think its harassment
I said my partner who doesnt live with me is loosing his cool and they said to ask my partner to have a word with him
I said my partner will prob beat him up due to it beig clear he is a coward who is only picking on me cause im a young lone female with a baby.
They said its the cluncil duty of care but said they will notify intelligence due to him smoking weed n dealing

I honestly feel like its going to kick off very soon
Im trying to prevent this but it is very hard this man is trying to upset me and nobody will help me

What should i do

Limited you are wrong - it is not the polices primary function to "keep the peace".

It is to "protect life and limb".

Nobody has a crystal ball - I wonder with your cop bashing whether at some point in the future you will actually have to call 999 to have them protect life and limb - rather than moaning about police not having the resources to turn out to an incident like the OPs.

Kitty I am going to politely suggest that I am not the one who is obsessing over anything here, or who needs to get a life.

But yes, I do have a very good memory for past threads that have stood out for whatever reason, and when someone point blank denies they've posted about something before about 20 times I can't help wondering why on earth they would feel the need to lie about something so harmless instead of just going 'yeah, that was me, different name now, same problem still going on.' So it does make you want to get to the bottom of it.

My conclusion is that while I don't doubt you have had some quite annoying and unsavoury neighbours, there is something about the way you react to them that escalates things and makes your situation much worse than it needs to be, plus you sound quite paranoid and difficult if I'm honest. All ten of you.

Yes, that's true nomud. A retired South Yorkshire police officer said that on the Hillsborough documentary that I watched last week.

As I said, I was harassed by neighbours. It went on for four years until they moved. The police from my local Safer Neighbourhoods Team were as helpful as they possibly could be and I've also said that.

It was one of them who told me that their primary purpose was to keep the peace and explained that the police would much rather deal with low level crime and anti social behaviour before it turns more serious. He listened to our frustration and anger at the things our neighbours were doing and expressed understanding when I said I wanted to punch the woman, who was the most active of the two in their persecution. Without lecturing, he explained that wouldn't be a good idea because I'd get into trouble and he didn't want that. He told me to not to confront them, however tempting it was, but call 999 if I felt threatened by these people or saw them committing a criminal act. If it wasn't an emergency I should the SN Team to add something else to my file and some officers would come round for a chat in less than a week. I followed their advice and they were as good as their word

They were unable to bring criminal charges against the people but they warned them off, which stopped them coming onto my property and stealing and breaking things. CCTV helped too. That just left the mentally and financially draining civil dispute these cunts luckily eventually lost and which caused them to finally fuck off out of our lives. The police couldn't do anything about that but whenever I saw one of the team in the street they would ask how I was getting on.

I've explained nearly all that on this thread so I don't know where you get the idea that I'm 'cop bashing'. Perhaps you missed it. That's okay. We're all busy. I have told one person who is a police officer that her approach seems different to the officers who dealt with my case and that I would not welcome it.

I also said I didn't like being accused of making personal attacks when I haven't - especially not by someone who called me a pain in the arse. I'm sure police officers think that of people but they don't always say it, do they?

If someone offends you, that's their fault, not the police's.

Hawkeye your a police officer of many years and you have just said you are not surprised she is harrassed. That is awful victim blaming. Bloody hell, yes you might be pissed off but that's just shocking to say that.

Come on everyone's being arsey and not nice to the op.
If she had been a different poster who maybe people knew, a regular, and had posted that someone was kicking her door right this minute and she was terrified of course you would all say ring the police.

Sallying forth well that's just bull. If I came kicking your door and scaring you I'm sure you might think it's a matter for the police.

Fucking hell this place sometimes.
We even have people in this thread implying op lives apart from her boyfriend for benefits.

Ffs.

So just came outside to find this on my car

Wish i had my dashcam on know it was him

Still not harrassment yeah?

It was him um telling u it was

Oswin shes is just like most police which is why everyone hates them

Did you see him scratch the car?

Why are you insulting a previous poster because of her job?! Not 'everyone hates them'. In fact, the few times I've had dealings with the police I thought they were excellent.

Oswin shes is just like most police which is why everyone hates them

Most of us don't hate the police. Maybe its your attitude that is the problem in your dealings with police?

Why would anyone hate the police ?

I don't hate the police either, despite being accused of 'cop bashing'. I do believe that some of them do not deal with things as well as others. The OP is not helping herself in this matter but neither are those PP who would swear black was white in their dislike of the OP.

And saying things such as 'you can't prove it was him' makes me think that the people who say it have never been harassed and aren't very imaginative. That's how harassers work and that's why they are so difficult to tackle. I guess police officers would be the first to say that.

Why would anyone hate the police ?

Do you really need to ask that PortiaCastis? I don't, but I can imagine a situation where people would. But then you were someone who asked if the OP saw who scratched her car.

Op has offered no reason to believe it was who she thought did the car damage.

At this point I have to say I too don't 'hate the police' and the few people I know who do have a problem with the police have invited problems with the police on themselves.

I think op you need to approach this in a more pragmatic way.

And I've also had awful harassing neighbours but without proof nothing anyone can do.

This is a weird thread. OP you do sound like the serial offender but I shall give you the benefit of the doubt. You cannot prove the scratch was him though. Doubt a dash cam would have caught it. Know it's annoying to have your car damaged though. I feel ya on that. :(

I asked if the OP had seen her neighbour scratch her car because she stated that she knew it was him. Perfectly reasonable question and no I have no reason to hate the police and not sure why anyone would.
