Okay, six months then.
What has changed since I last wrote something here? Well, police resources have been effectively deployed in introducing call signs, a different phone system, graded response escalations procedures, and various new incident handling departments. This, we are repeatedly told is helping us to deliver an improved service to the public. The present is bright and the future even brighter.
Meanwhile, I now average a queue of 120 incidents, and have just 4 officers at my disposal. When I phone back to apologise to people who have been waiting nearly a month to see a police officer, I daren’t bring them the good news regarding call signs, the phone system, escalations procedures, incident handling departments…
They wouldn’t listen. It would shake their belief that the police provide a fucking appalling service. The fact is it’s not even that good.
