<p>No they don't.. and the dispatchers don't care...</p>
<p>I called 111 for a male assaults female on the side of the road, spent about 20 minutes on hold - I had angled my car to block the street, hazards on...</p>
<p>While on the phone, I saw a cop pull out of a side street about 50 - 100 meters up the road, and turn right, I was left to him.. </p>
<p>He drove on.. <br />While the assault was taking place - I guess he had a cronut or a speeder to get.. <br /><br />Safer communities together is their motto - but don't go out on your own to do anything about what's happening in your community - leave that up to us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>US - being the largest legal gang in the country - and you know what gangs do, they protect their own, cover up criminal activity and wear patches. <br />They wonder why no one has respect for them any more.... take a look at yourselves, why would the public respect you - if you don't respect the public. <br /><br />It's a corrupt department of liars, abusers of power, and a big black hole where money is poured into, only in the name of 'traffic safety'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would vote for any political party who splits the department back up to Traffic and Policing, show the public where the money is actually being spent... <br />Because clearly its not being spent on policing.... OH and these guys want to carry guns... do you trust them to do that?</p>
