to constantly call the police?

I call the police whenever I see illegal behaviour which is/ can potentially endanger other. Given my locality this is very regularly. This includes fights, joy riding, drunk driving etc. I don't bother reporting drug dealing/illegal drug use, as I know the police don't have the time to deal with it in my area. (Though I did report the local very well known drug den)

When I call I give a clear location and description but it seems like the call handlers aren't keen to take the details, and I never receive any follow up to my calls. I wonder if I have been put on some sort of nuisance caller list now! Though everything I have been calling about has been genuine, and to my mind serious.

Aibu to call in?

Thank you pig and driving. That is something I would be interested in and will look at.

No the area I live in isn't Stockwell, but I imagine has similar crime statistics. I am probably just unlucky that I have witnessed so much crime, as I have had rather bad neighbours, and walk frequently through the local estate. I generally feel safe though, in that it is crime I witness, rather than am the victim off. I am very aware to not make myself a target though eg not carrying valuables in a handbag and not leaving things out on show in the car.
