    Not 'unfriendly' necessarily, DD, but perhaps a touch abrupt? And please don't add churlish to that.

    You clearly have a lot of knowledge in this area, and it's useful and welcome.

    What was abrupt? Suze didn't reply, PCI isn't a rank and even you'd agree any Police Officer should be able to investigate.

     I was told that I would be contacted by a PCI .I haven't had any dealings with police for over 40 years, [I was in a car accident.] So my knowledge of police and their workings is negligible.

    Given my state of mind since the assault there's a chance I may have misheard and I apologise if I did. 

    I want to thank all that have taken the time and trouble to give opinions and ideas. Thank you all x

    It sounds like PCI is a job, rather than a rank. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    That may be it. She was a PC with a number, but maybe the team she works with that's what they're known as. Or I may have misheard. When she next contacts me I will ask and let you all know x

    Given the role of a Constable is the preservation of life, protection of property, prevention and detection of crime. I find it odd that they make a specific job titled that.

    I'm not having a go at you, hopefully there is a misunderstanding but from what I'm hearing so far I find it upsetting that you're not getting the level of service you deserve and ultimately the result you'd want. 

    What did you agree with them about ongoing contact and updates? Have you agreed they'll contact you every so many days or when there is a significant update?

    I fear it may be as you suggest, DD; without witnesses, it's largely one person's word against another.
    Quite a bit of 'circumstantial', tho', such as the unusual behaviour of such a seeming 'pillar of the community', who did not even check on the welfare of the person who supposedly tripped on their doorstep and knocked themselves out.
    I would hope that a lot of his other behaviour on that day would also have rung warning bells; him going to the station to report an 'incident' of - presumably - a person tripping over on his step (who would do that?). And I wonder how plausible his description to the police of what 'happened' would have been - I bet their suspicion antennae would have been seriously twitching even before they spoke to janbero.
    So I'm still hoping that the police have got something to work from; "The police consider there to be enough evidence to charge", and that it will be enough for a successful civil action if nothing else.
    On that point, DD - if the police case came to nothing, and janbero pursued a civil action instead, can the police officer be called as a witness?!
