This is why people are losing respect for the police...

They aren’t sending out CSI to a simple home burglary. This isn’t a TV show based in 2004. Grow up.

Of course the UK police send CSI's/ SOCO's out to 'simple' home burglaries. Where on earth did you get the idea that they don't?


The police response to burglary, robbery and other acquisitive crime - HMICFRS

Better-performing forces recognise the value of initial advice and have adopted the standards set out in the National Policing Prevention Strategy, recently agreed by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). We found good practice in Merseyside Police, where SAC (This means serious acquisitive crime – robbery and burglary) is a priority. A crime scene investigator (CSI) supervisor triages jobs, and contacts victims directly if necessary to establish potential forensic opportunities.

In some forces, officers attending crime scenes have a good awareness of the golden hour principle and evidence preservation. They receive basic investigative training, with regular refresher training and continuous professional development. This includes opportunities to make the most of evidence from digital capture technologies such as doorbell imagery. Operational vehicles are equipped with the right materials, such as cordon tape, bollards, signs, evidence bags, labels and sealing tape. These forces require officers to have body-worn video switched on at incidents to support evidence gathering. And attending officers generally receive good support from criminal investigation departments (CIDs) or other specialist investigation teams. This might include attending scenes for serious crimes and giving specialist advice.

Most forces have a crime scene attendance policy that informs their deployment of a CSI according to crime type, threat, harm and risk. This guidance usually includes a flow chart for burglary, theft and other crime scenes. Forensic supervisors are also available to advise on matters that need their professional judgement.

It could be many things. Discarded clothing. Tools. Witness statements from neighbours/passers by. Footprints. Glove prints/impressions. Bodily fluids. Third party CCTV footage. Heck, they could even still be on the property/in the property without the owner being aware.

Is 90 year old Mavis going to think/be able to check for these things?

Also worth noting that a domestic burglary is an SAC with the S standing for serious. It should be taken as so.

Taking some golliwog dolls is not. It's a waste of thinly stretched resource but it's also an easy job for some lazy police officers.

I get if it’s a vulnerable person who needs to be made safe

Please keep up with the discussion if you are going to reply to me, I expect a higher quality of posting.

Taking someone's offensive racially abusive paraphernalia would be a priority if it was going to result in a certain breach of the peace, like if someone like myself showed up and it was on display.

If Bob has left his window open, and someone snuck in and stolen his wallet from the table, then Bob doesn't need an officer out even if there's clear finger prints. ("yes I touched the window, I saw the window was open officer and wanted to check everything was ok, I did not enter the property or take anything from inside officer")

If Bob says "yea he's broken in using force to smash a window, cut his hand, there's blood every where, including multiple rooms.", then you might get one. There is a big difference, but people are constantly expecting officers to come out and look at things....

What are people not getting, resources are stretched, stop calling the police for things and deal with things yourself, only call them to get a crime reference number and reporting purposes, or if you genuinely need an officer to deal with someone you cannot.

The level of arrogant delusion in your catalogue of nonsense - sorry, posting history - is comical to me :cry:
 
There certainly does seem to be differing levels of performance depending on forces and even individual departments.

Same as any organisation or sector/industry really. There's a tendency in the UK to merge "the police" into one homogenous entity (not surprising given the lack of individual identity individual forces have these days) and assume that the performance and failings of one are representative of all, but the reality is every force will have its own priorities, values, culture, attitudes, budget and be subject to different leadership styles.
 
Find the stats for all reported burglaries getting a in person response Vs what "should" happen.

So we have moved on from police don't send CSI's to 'simple' burglaries (they do) to quibbling over how many now are we?

I linked to the inspectorates recent report that was talking about best practice.

The issue obviously is that not all the police forces in the country are able/willing to respond to all burglaries in a suitable fashion.

But the suggestion that police routinely don't send CSI's/ SOCO's is wrong

I wish I lived in your world where what should be best practice resulted in what was actually happening
 
People don't like the police for their attitude or not bothering to investigate.

Police are just damn lazy, this day and age they look like spotty teens.
They become revenue rasing inspectors.

Is this in response to you getting caught speeding and issued with a ticket? You broke law and got caught. Deal with it
