West mercia are one the worst police…

West mercia are one the worst police forces out there, when a serious crime was reported they didn't take it seriously and favoured with the suspect instead of coming to us for more information and are now protecting them, west merica protects rapists

Whute van man

All they want to do is sit in a van, drinking tea/ coffee, eating biscuits and catching motorists doing 35 mph in a 30, and then sending abrupt rude letters ordering you to respond in a certain time frame.
Incapable of catching shoplifters, muggers and rapists, as they are too bone idle and incompetent to do anything else.
I suppose they have to get the figures up somehow, and give employment to people who would otherwise be unemployable in any other industry

Waste on taxpayers money

Rang the police 101 to report the case as what i have advised to do by the womens aid and my legal solicitor in order for me build up my case as a pattern of the abuse. The coercion and control behaviour of my ex, explained to police that i been a victim of domestic abuse since 2019 and have supported by womens aid. I need to report the case because i need to seek for protection for me and my daughter because this is already affecting our emotional and mental health.
The police didn’t even bothered to put and assist my report. Only advised me that it is civil case and needs to be dealth with my solicitor, and even i said my solicitor advised me to report to police?
I even asked the police if the domestic abuse is not a crime because im a victim of domestic abuse, the police stated that the domestic abuse is not necessarily a crime not unless there is a physical injuries.. what a joke!!! Seriously.. i even asked him so u meant the emotional, psychological, verbal abusr is not a crime, and u wont deal with it not unless if im dead right?

Shame on this police its just means that he has lack of trainings and knowledge of domestic violence and unable to protect the victims in any way!! I have recorded it which i told him its for my record and i will raise this concern to other organizations. And he just said to me ok bye!

Disgusting.. no wonder that a lot of victims of domestic violence felt unsafe because of this type of unprofessional police officer who has lack of knowledge and trainings about domestic abuse.
Seriously what a shame, you shouldn’t be in that position.

Same happened when i reported 2-3 yrs ago that i was raped, they daid they are going to collect the evidence but they didn’t, and later said not enough evidence to take the rapist to court. Disgusting!!!

I just hope that non of this police officers family or children will experience the same like what the victims experienced.

Poor really poor investigators

Poor really poor investigators
After complaining of being stolen twice in the space of 1month the police office never visited the place where the theft took place and does all the investigations behind the desk therefore no surprise the case gets closed without any action nor any relevant investigation made. What a joke of name POLICE!!!

The police force over Jackfield

The police force in the Telford, Madeley area are beyond a joke. I really don't understand why they're classed as law enforcement in this area. I complained about a neighbour having 5 cameras around his house covering much of my property and when they came out they say there is nothing wrong with the invasion of our privacy but thats only the start.
While Mr PCSO Bean was stood at our door a neighbour pulls up in his car which had no tax, no mot and no insurance it was pointed out that his car is not legal infront of the officers and neighbour all they did was turn to the neighbour and greet him and nothing was said or done about it as for the invasion of privacy issue he thinks its alright now to turn his cameras even more on our property now. What the f*#k are they being paid for.

AB video illegal arrest

I’ve just seen a video of your officers arresting a man for filming the police station, As you know or Don’t know this is totally legal, Not giving your ID for said activity is totally legal (No crime), I’m shocked after the arrests you kept him locked up for five hours with No charge, I hope All your officers have been retrained and chastised for their illegal activities, The police aren’t to be trusted nor respected when you Don’t know basic law.

I was arrested and handcuffed on my…

I was arrested and handcuffed on my doorstep for sending an offensive (Possibly harassing) post card.This in front of my epileptic wife. She was 69 I was 70. I am diabetic with Atrial fibrillation. I was argumentative as I had been drinking red wine with my dinner. Therefore I was about to be taken into custody.

When she collapsed in the hallway with a seizure, I was un-handcuffed and the two brave officers went away ! To this day I don't know the identity of the two Officers. I was later told to go to the Police Station or face being arrested again ! When I went with my Solicitor I was interviewed under caution by two completely different Officers for sending this post card. I later received a letter saying that there would be no further action being taken. My Solicitor was so embarrassed he never sent me an account !
The complaints department stated in several letters and e-mails that they considered the initial Officers actions were justified as I would not listen to him properly, therefore he had no alternative other than to handcuff me ! According to the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) handcuffs should only be used if there is a threat of the suspect escaping/running away. Ludlow Cops..Pathetic and utterly useless. Ashamed to say I was a Police Officer for 30 years.

To the chief of this police station

To the chief of this police station , I suggest you watch the latest auditors video regarding your station called ( can I have you name ! You Could be part of a far right group! An clearly train your force in stupidity! As not teaching them A( police stations are publicly funded, therefore not private, so to every force saying they are shows lack of sense,
B ) there is no law on public photography and videoing police stations isn't a crime ,
It's shocking the harrassement these people get off poorly trained uneducated police is bad.

Prevention?

Had decent take-away from EDO Redditch so decided to drive into Redditch and try it out on a Thursday evening.

Slightly worrying it was next door to Weatherspoons but thought little of it.

After ordering, a visibly very drunk guy came in and asked to be served lager (he was so drunk I assume he had been refused service next door - a feat in itself). He was clearly not in any fit state to eat, but they decided in their infinite wisdom to serve him two pints at the same time and sit him in the dining area.

After singing loudly over the background music, abusing the staff, and being generally unruly, I called the local police station (100 yards down the road) - no answer. After what was becoming an increasingly aggressive situation, I called 999.

They decided that it was an owner problem and they would not attend unless something further occurred. When I asked what that meant, I was warned not to escalate the situation or the implication was I would be in trouble.

By now, he had decided to abuse individual diners - "old and grey c**t" (abusive behaviour), gay speccy b'stard (a hate crime) being two of his opening shots. We left half way through our meal without paying.

Conclusion:

1. Why serve someone who is clearly using the restaurant as a pub - is this not a breach of their licence?
2. West Mercia Police - this incident could easily have escalated if someone without my self-control had been abused in this way. He was bruising to have the living doodah knocked out of him. I realise you were probably too busy collecting speeding fines to deal with several separate incidents of law-breaking, but I would have thought it made more sense to prevent serious incidents rather than mopping up after.

Poor effort. If you can't rely on basic policing, it is not surprising that issues get out of hand as people take the law into their own hands.

Corrupt & abusive Police Officers who…

Corrupt & abusive Police Officers who don’t care about the public, especially if the corrupt Police Officers are mates with criminals!! Even their Professional Standards department are not willing to investigate corruption! Diabolical organisation that cannot be trusted by the law abiding public.

WEAK EXCUSE FOR COPS

Disgusting weak, complicit, embarrassing and sad excuse for a so called police force. Let down 1000+ children who were raped by Muslim immigrants. They should all be fired, fined and jailed, the very top should be hung.Hang your heads in shame you useless ba$_&4ds. It shouldn't matter what colour rapists are, they are rapists. And it's not a coincidence that ALL of these rapists were Pakistani. Good job they werent white as you guys may have actually had a job to do. F¥¥K all of you!

I was brought up to respect the police , but twice now they have proved to me they are not fit for purpose . I was going down to South Wales for a much needed break having never drove that way before I was trying to keep up with my brother in law who was in front . Unfortunately I was flashed by speed camera ( now wait for this ) I was done for doing 35 miles over the 30 mile speed limit . After investigating further nearly all police forces allow 10% + 2 over the speed limit yet I’m an old age pensioner had to pay £80+ fine and yet to do online course . Now my husband and I were watching police programme on tv motorway cops they had this guy doing well over 100miles an hr they gave chase pulled him up long story short they let him of with a warning now tell me Chief Constable where is the fairness in that? I am so disgusted I have no words to to describe how I feel if I could you would not have received 1 star you would have received nil points

Waste of taxpayers money

Local junkie robbed me at kniefpoint and took my bike in front of Forgate St. Tesco Express. (500m from police station).
Called them immediately but the rude woman on the phone sad that there is no manpower to deal with my case. I’m not hurt so move on with my life. She also offered me a crime number.
Shame on this police force.
In a European Country this would have been dealt with with more professionalism.
It’s actually scarry how bad the police in this country.
