Meanwhile, back in the real world, I spent an hour waiting to speak to someone in the police the other day only for the guy on the desk to say he needed another 30-45 minutes with the lady at the desk and there were no other staff. So, if you really do want to report a crime or some criminal behaviour that has got to the stage where a little bit of community work by the police would help, good luck to you. Maybe take an afternoon off work so you will have time for the bureaucracy.
We are a long way from 'you have twenty seconds to comply' policing.
