A few years ago I reported a burglary to RCIPS, and it took them EIGHT DAYS to take a report! I also had to confront the desk sergeant on duty to DEMAND that the report be taken on that 8th day, or it likely would never have been taken. Time to do the job we are paying RCIPS to do, like solving crimes and policing the roads. Neither of these things seem to be happening at present.
This is like normal news now; you expect to read about a stolen boat everyday!
SICK.
“reported stolen the next day” Hahaha! Like it would make a difference! The police never recover any stolen property.
