Its a case that a shift of officers will have a few double crewed ones and the rest single crewed.
So coms will try and send double crewed units to say domestics, fights etc etc
But the double crewed units are also available for other jobs which may not need a double crewed unit if they are available
Comms will just look at who is available and send the next available unit to something - double crewed or not.
I would suspect that something like this, which clearly doesn't merit a double crewed unit, would be a case that it was the only crew available - and if comms are trying to get jobs of the event queue, they will get sent if there is nothing more urgent at the time.
Not sure why the followup by the PCSO - but i have said they were wrong to do this
And yes - a PCSO can make a citizens arrest - that's why i said they have the same powers as you do. But they do not have the same powers of arrest as a police officer.

Yes officers can read three words - but do you know what was said to the officers by the reporting person? Do we know what this was? Are we privy to all the information they had?
The tiky box thing - its not a case of 'crime solved' as a case of 'job closed'. Its only crime solved if it gets a suspect to the point of charge. Otherwise its 'job closed' - so sudden deaths, car crashes, fallen trees across a road, missing people, false call with good intent etc. They will be loads of sub categories a job can be closed as - but it will be 'job closed'. This then drops off the event queue which comms have to dispatch jobs from.
The safeguarding picture with the dogs - clearly not safeguarding. What was the officers deployment at that time? Were they policing an event? Were they town centre foot patrol officers? Were they at the start of a night time economy patrol? Were they walking to court and a member of the public asked for a photo? were they en-route to a job or a crime enquiry?

People do all sorts of particularly awful legal and consensual things in their homes. Are you advocating for them all to be put on a register?
But if the police come into contact with it - do you think it should be recorded somewhere or just ignored?
Why is whether a man has ethnic dolls he role plays grim things with at home where no one else can see him, anything to do with his ability to work in a school? It's fascinating to see how much police think they should be able to monitor and interfere in private lives
So you would be happy sending your young kids to that school then?
He openly admits he has a fascination with child like dolls and plays out scenarios of violence & sex against them - and he is happy to tell police this. You would not want any of this to appear on any police report though?
So, if something bad happened to a child at that school by him, you would say there was nothing could have been done to prevent it. Even though police had this information and weren't able to disclose it?
You can't see that as a problem?
Perhaps you will also grant him a firearms licence - as nothing would flag up on any checks either. Perhaps he has a hatred of certain ethnic groups too, has loads of posters around his describing such things. So you alright with granting him a gun?
No - were are not spending all our time on non-crime
I have said - several times on here - that the vast majority of our time is spent on safeguarding, and guarding prisoners, missing from homes etc
But no one has been able to answer my question

The park job where you say 'no action was taken' - two were arrested and admitted to their involvement - unless you mean a different job.
And there will be loads of jobs we can't get to as we have no units free. We try our best to get to all emergency jobs - if they are graded as not an emergency, they will have to drop onto the queue and units sent as and when. This may drag on for weeks and often people are re-called and cancel the job.
Some burglaries can be done over the phone without an officer attending - not ideal I know - but you have to weigh up is there any actual merit, based on the initial call, in sending an officer to a burglary which has happened and no suspects on scene or crime scene to consider. And weighing that up against an ongoing DV

Safeguard the bottles of urine - obviously not
It appears to be cordoned off - was this part of a crime scene? Was it an event? Was it securing a building?

Yes - you can share you DOB, you can also share your names with others - but there are ways in which sex offenders and such like can be tracked using them and similar information. Do you really think its that easy for a sex offender to leave prison and slip under the radar by just changing their name? If so, why do we have so many ex-convicts on the sex offenders register? How are probation able to monitor so many released prisoners?

The sticker person wasn't upset by the officers - she was by the PCSO, and i have said the PCSO should not have gone back around.
And how do you want police to deal with stuff if we have to mindful that a person might be upset by the mere presence of a police officer.
"... i have taken a report of your compliant about the other person, but unfortunately we can't go a speak with them just in case our presence scares them"

I agree - it is a discussion forum. A place to discuss things.
But I often get told to 'go away' when people disagree with me or that i am mansplaning. or that they are going to just skip past my posts.
For me - you're very welcome to join the debate!
