What can the Police log a complaint for?

I wonder if Fiona Pilkington encountered lovely control room staff like powerful_rogue during her 33 terrified calls to Police.

Would her calls have been classed as a civil matter? What do we all think?

RIP Fiona x

No, because what they reported was a police matter. You can clearly see antisocial behaviour and harassment. What you seem to fail to realise was that the calls were all logged, it was the police officers that went to invistigate that were at fault.

Im talking about people like you that report incidents that clearly arnt police matters, such as the man that reported his neighbour putting his rubbish bags out too early and wanted the police to have a word with him.

Anyway, no need to get sarky just because I dont agree with you.

I live in a Housing Association property and neither I nor any of the 40+ households in my street have had such a sticker placed over their doors - even when they've been away for two or three weeks...

Either way, it's a matter between the tenant and the HA/Housing Trust who own the premises; not the Police. In addition, the Housing Trusts usually cover the building insurance, don't they? I only have to pay for my own contents insurance. So if their sticker led to a break-in at the property, they would have to make a claim on their own premises insurance... can't see them stitching themselves up in that way unless they had a good reason... :think:

that is a better, a nice civil tone thank you.

A lot of people made assumptions - I actually emailed GMP and got a voicemail back quite promptly just stating a Civil manner (go away)

I do agree when someone mentioned that it would really help if the police could give a polite nod in the right direction to people so they dont feel so hopeless.

A lot of vulnerably people simply feel that their no other way for them to get help and look up to the police as being able to help and protect (like me when I was young and naive- am I regressing!?) - not sure if this would have come from the days of bobbies on the beat (gosh I'm old)

I have now emailed the Neighbour Police team just to get some information, advice and their thoughts - after a week still no reply

I think in that case there were two problems:

1) That, although it was a 'police matter', each person who took the call treated it as very low priority.
2) There was no mechanism in place to correlate multiple reports and flag what was was evidently a very serious problem.

This was a major tragedy and, one hopes, all police forces will take note and ensure that their systems will properly handle any similar situations in the future.

both very very worrying.

the first point worries me the most thought.

what type of Police control room operator would class the things that happened as very low priority? but then again hate crime against the disabled isnt a priority so it maybe this attitude comes from higher up in the force?

maybe I view things differently as I have disabled family? do the majority class of you (and the police) class it as just another 'spaz' being abused -amusing and unimportant?

shame MSE is full of tools like you now, much better in the old days.

Likely ex-force I'm guessing, usually the hard, keyboard warriors who are on the scrap heap of life now!


GUYS - if you get people like this just click on there name and choose 'ignore' and you never see their drivel again

So basically in a nutshell you are claiming that the housing association are harassing you. When in reality they are just following their agreed procedure for whatever you have done wrong.

My guess is that they have called at the property several times and you have pretended to be out or just not answered your door. So they have put a sticker on it so they can see if anyone is in fact living at the property. If sticker is disturbed then someone is there.

Probably all down to rent arrears or neighbour complaints or something like that.

The Police know that a housing association are incredibly unlikely to be harassing a tenant so they are not investigating it.

My advice - move house to one controlled by a different association one which doesn't annoy you so much.

I was under the impression that the police had to log complaints made to them for just about anything?

I recently had cause to contact the police regarding an incident of foul-mouthed abuse by a couple of neighbours (husband and wife) and was told that the police do not routinely 'log' complaints but act upon them.

So the bobbies popped round to see them the next day - and, bless her, she worked out who had complained.

Nothing's been said though!

Honeydog, no one should be here to judge me - I dont judge them.

this should be a friendly, helpful environment but as mentioned too many idiots (think you're borderline) have inhabited MSE now who like to be clever, assume things and make accusations.
