The Police have not helped me

I hope someone can help.

I made a complaint against someone who had intimidated me, assaulted me and damaged my property; a police officer attended and told me they spoke to the person and the person apologised.

The matter was then completely dropped by the police and I was offered counselling. However I'm not happy with this, I want to complain as the person is escalating their behaviour with further intimidation and damage now that they've got away with everything so far!

They are very clever and it's impossible to gain actual evidence.

Can I request the recordings of the police speaking to the person, and them apologising (therefore admitting it) and can I request the statements/any more info from the police? Who should I complain to?

Any help would be so appreciated.

This person is a young male, as a single female I feel vulnerable, and I have a feeling he wouldn't be doing what he's doing if I was male or had a husband.

Wombat1a is right. The Police cannot do anything without actual evidence to support what someone says. If they did can you imagine how easy it would be for people to get others in trouble?!

It sounds like the person the Police spoke to was given 'words of advice' which in many cases is useless. Some police forces don't do now. It often makes things worse and escalates the situation as there are no consequence if the person ignores the advice given. You therefore have to make more reports if it continues and like others have said...get the evidence.

Good luck

The police can acquire evidence, towns and cities are heavily camera-ed. Would take two seconds to substantiate a victims story
.but.. they can't be arsed and therefore people like the OP and me continue to suffer.
