I'm having a nightmare with my officer in charge. I spoke to the police and gave a statement back in April. One police officer urged me to go forward with it because if they just went round and spoke to my ex he said he could think he could carry on harassing me ans sending abusive messages. So that's what I did. Then I was given my officer in charge.
I heard nothing, had to chase numerous times to find out what was happening. This took weeks. Finally heard from him. He just kept saying yea will arrest him soon, then it was he's spoken to another district and they will arrest him. Then they didn't, no one told me anything. I've constantly had to chase him. He said he was going to take exes phone away to look through it. He's been saying that for months. Now he's sent me a blunt email which I found a bit rude saying tbh I'm not going to take him phone away. He said ex isn't answering phone to arrange to come in the station. Although he told me he would go to his house to arrest him.
I feel I can't say too much to him as he comes off rude and blunt in his emails. He emailed Monday about something else relating to ex and my son's school. He said I start 3pm tomorrow I'll let you know what I find out. That was 2 days ago. I won't hear from him until I chase him for weeks on end!
Has anyone else had similar with the police.if so what advice can you give? My solicitor says the police are really useless and she's said I'm doing all I can do. But I feel this case isn't being taken seriously. I guess this is the reason I didn't go to the police so many years ago as I was worried I wouldn't be taken seriously.
