Police Avis 

I didn't actually realize you could rate a police force on this platform till recently, hence the delay.

I was staying at the Methuen Arms, Corsham and the first night went to their restaurant for dinner. I was disappointed with the poor food, especially for the high price and complained in a reasonable manner (realizing it is not the server's fault). The server said I could order something else and I did, but this was almost worse.

I did not shout, swear or in any way draw attention to this (and in any case, at 6:30 pm the restaurant was almost empty). The server fetched the duty manager. She was totally unsympathetic and even though I did not, for example, say I was not going to pay for the food, she suddenly said after about 2 minutes into the interaction, that I was to leave the hotel and that she was calling the police. Of course, I was surprised and said I would wait for them because I couldn't see any reason for this reaction. All I had done was calmly complain about the standard of the food.

The police duly arrived pronto, and said it was reported that I had displayed "an aggressive demeanour". They agreed I had not raised my voice, used any obscenities or racist language against any individual but it had been reported that whilst talking, I had banged my fist on the table (which I denied - I did not do this). They said two witnesses had confirmed this (being so early, the restaurant only had one other table occupied in a far corner out of earshot of mine) so these so-called "witnesses" would only have been the server. There was no one else present so there was no second witness.

I rather sarcastically said to the two officers "so no burglaries or shop-lifting this evening?" and one responded that if called out they had to respond!!

I was escorted to my room, the woman officer packed my things and I was escorted off the premises - very humiliating. To be fair, one of the officers did say, as an aside, they had never been called out for such a thing before - I think trying to make me feel better. They had already ordered a taxi and I was obliged to get in and sent to a hotel in an adjoining town - no idea where I was going as I was unfamiliar with the area.

To make matters worse, this other hotel had no vacancies when I arrived, and it was only the kindness of the receptionist, ringing round, that I wasn't forced to sleep on the street. This horrible incident completely ruined my short holiday.

I wonder what this hour or so total of police time plus presumably follow up (which I was told was going to happen, including viewing body cam) cost the tax payer? I am very surprised police time could be so wasted without assessing the situation beforehand.

Incidentally, the officers said they could not charge me with anything or even issue a caution, as no crime or offence had been committed.

Later on I got some semblance of an apology from someone at Butcombe Breweries customer services, who offered me, as partial compensation for stress caused, a meal voucher to be used at any of their outlets. She also offered to meet me for coffee to discuss the situation. Both of these I politely declined.

Btw, I am a 76 year old woman with mobility issues.

Lazy Cheshire Police...

Where to start, well, recently we have been harassed by the same children who have a habit of creating ASBs where I live. I have reported it to them twice over the past few weeks and got a phone call saying that their 'Beat Team' will be in contact within a week... 2 weeks later nothing.

Not the first time we've had this issue, we had issues with both ASBs and drug use/sales in the evening times that have been reported to Cheshire police and no patrols or contact back over the past 15 years.

The only time I've had them visit was when a CCTV camera was stolen and vandalised, and caught the people in the act, they took the footage and knew the people involved. I got a reference number and a evident slip and nothing came from it months later, no contact back, nothing.

I understand they are shrinking the force to concentrate on 'Serious and Organised crimes' yet they can't even be bothered to be organised to investigate ASBs during the evening times correctly.

Failed to investigate crimes over a long time including attempted murder harassment perverting the course of justice nhs fraud tampering with medical tests and records and when I tried to log a formal complaint against the police for failing to investigate they refused they are now sending unmarked cars and transit vans to my home to stalk me scary creepy fraudulent corrupt criminal law breaking communist county, couldn't get a more selfish self centred county, I'm ashamed to be an uk resident with police that seem to be more crooked than the so called criminals they are supposed to be arresting! I've no doubt that I will be likely getting further physical and mental stodge assault attacks stalking and harassment from their narks placed all throughout society as i suspect has been going on for decades, "society" what a joke nothing social or sociable about this country where everone who complained ONLY TO TRY TO RECTIFY F UPS making a better place for all having their rights fraudulently stolen and then being subjected to something like criminal torture jail them! In this number 2 ranked most miserable country to live in the WORLD only topped by number 1 spot, F ing Kazakhstan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their male officer shouldn't nan handle women especially wwb the male is 20x the size of a female causing bodily harm. And you people wonder why we never call you

South Yorkshire Police - my son in law assaulted 2 weeks ago by partner of child's mother whilst dropping off for contact as per an agreement- son in law threatened with violence (audio evidence)and shoved into a wall( dashcam video) yet 2 weeks later they have filed the crime and told him HE was to blame/ the aggressor despite being verbally abused and threatened and assaulted shortly afterwards.
I have told him the next time it happens ,he must do what he needs to do and when arrested say he identifies as a female giraffe and to state he was called a nasty name and told he was a male human...THAT should get a response.

North Yorkshire police - PCSO Kate Denis. Thank you. You gave the information to give me closure, an explanation and the understanding to allow me to move on in a positive 2026. You have been a fantastic support when needed. All the best, case closed. Kind regards team.

Avon and Somerset police service are as dumb as a bag of potatoes, abusive and run like the yellow bellied dogs that they are!

Had a knock at the door last year.
Came down and to my surprise it was the police at my door asking for some unknown man that I have never heard of.

I responded with the fact that I was not the person mentioned and stated they were at the wrong address but the officer failed to hear these facts and with clear intent the attending bish with a badge grabbed my arm snarling and jerked it clear out of its socket causing me great pain!

It was then that his accomplice tapped him and said “He’s right” where upon the assailant officer immediately released my arm which made it pop back into place and scurried back into their vehicle and left at speed…
No apologies, no identification, no legal recourse or accountability, they just scurried off like the rats they are!

I phoned to make a complaint but the officer who answered just said without any identification they can’t do anything.

Over a year later and I’ve still not got the full use or mobility in my arm.
I wake up every single night with severe pain in my shoulder and these little abusive reprobates get to just walk away with no consequences for their actions!

I can’t even pick up my daughter without severe pain because of their ineptitude and stupidity!

Had to give up mentoring youth, can no longer drive and can’t hold down a manual job because of the injury they inflicted upon me!

I hate you people I really do!
You have destroyed my life and my family!

Failure of FOUR police officers on video on you tube two weeks ago refusing to identify.
Shocking behaviour absolute disgrace

Feel safe. Home feels secure. Never had anything stolen. Happiest I been in years. Might go to Russia on Holiday.

Surrey police are incompetent, which for their role is tantamount to gross negligence. They rush to conclusions which turn out to be very wrong with little evidence and then by time they wake up to the reality its too late to pursue other leads. Complaints appear a total stitch up as some guy who used to work for them who’s supposedly independent adjudicates. If they ever asked me for help in future would turn other way as you can’t trust them.

Went to Gwent Police (Blackwood) after being subjected to a disability hate crime by my estranged family. Severe psychological abuse, harassment, death threat, personal data theft - many offences.

Apparently, if I went to Blackwood Highstreet and tipped a disabled person out of a wheel chair they’d do something because “that would be different, someone would be hurt”.

The officers don’t actually appear to know the law and lack the skills, knowledge or ability to analyse a narcissist smear campaign that has driven me to despair. “No crime committed” despite an overwhelming failure to even properly look at evidence - merely a cursory glance at some of many, many text messages.

Numerous offences committed also under The Suicide Act. Yet a complete failure of the police to even properly question witnesses. An officer who came to her house and demonstrated condescension toward my elderly mother with an overwhelming dismissive bias - branding things “a civil matter” and “a family dispute”. So now we know that if someone is related you they can seemingly do what they want and get away with it. The officer who attended the family home treated it as a chat you’d have with tea and biscuits whilst looking out the window.

Blackwood Police Station is like those awful police departments seen in small towns in films. The underwhelming performance leads us to believe they are not only a disgrace to their uniform: their ego seems more important to them than upholding the law.

Not sure what to suggest. They were rubbish when our house was broken into in the ‘80s. Didn’t even turn up to a car break in back in ‘99 despite fingerprints needing to be taken. Now, all these years later, I attended Blackwood Police station about my harrowing experience. A slob of an officer came in, and asked “what do you want me to do about it”. Other gems include “perhaps you should speak to your daughter” (to my mother who witnessed said death threat and other threats of violence). Together with a false narrative on leaving the house.

My father always said “If anything goes wrong, don’t call the police, they’re useless”. I’ll add to that: roadkill could do a better job when it comes to investigating crimes.

Never there to help anyone , would sooner take e scooters off of little kids than stop things like people drugged out there faces harassing people in town centres

I’ve rung them a few times about two different crime one very serious and the other just serious. Both times they told me it’s something we won’t do. I replied is this the police to which they said yes but we don’t investigate theft/murder and now they are removing things I post. There are strong implications to not taking the law into your own hands but if your life is in danger what other choice do you have.

These people dont care. I request they put a presence up her in Nordavatn and the guy is more wanting to do me for being upset. My sister DIED from drugs. The guy was saying the people doing drunk deliveries were maybe doing 5 min visits. Utterly stupid. Then same people visit another up here and I suppose that is another 5 min family visit.

Honestly. The police in Shetland dont ever do a thing. Totally useless.

My neighbour contacted Merseyside Police via police.uk for finding a knife that a criminal dropped and still 2 years later (NO ONE FROM THE POLICE CAME AND TOOK IT) (also I put a random date Cause it won't let me go back to the date)

The police are nothing but low-life scumbags who just talk with their dicks and who think they can flout the laws as they think they are the law with their sexist remarks and racist comments towards members of the public

My experience with Suffolk Police has been nothing short of exhausting. I reported an incident in good faith, providing every possible detail — the vehicle’s registration, a full account of events, witness information, and the exact location of CCTV footage that could have confirmed what happened. Despite this, I’ve been repeatedly asked to “provide my version of events” as if none of my previous reports, emails, or phone calls were ever read or properly recorded.

The handling of this matter has been disorganised, dismissive, and at times felt completely indifferent to the seriousness of what occurred. Rather than reassurance, the repeated contact and lack of progress have caused unnecessary stress and made me feel as though I’m being treated like the problem for expecting a basic standard of professionalism.

When victims provide evidence and clear leads, it shouldn’t fall on them to chase officers to do their job. Unfortunately, my experience with Suffolk Police reflects a culture of apathy and poor communication that erodes public trust.

After this, and many other similar scenarios, I continue to have little faith that reports are taken seriously or investigated with any real care. I sincerely hope Suffolk Police address the way they handle victims’ reports — because right now, their conduct leaves people feeling completely unprotected and unheard.

They are the worse mental health people uii can come across. They are always trying to create more problems and not reduce violence the system is based on being discriminating towards a group of people

A few issues, why do they do this?

Why do they scan and search the victims phone instead of scanning and searching the STALKER'S phone? My ex knows someone WHO USED TO WORK FOR THE POLICE that's how he was able to track me and find my new address, after I had to change address, phone and SIM/number.

That same guy I was with at the time spiked my drink IN HIS HOUSE and r@ped me. I told an officer (I wont name his name) but he said it wasn't r@pe because I didn't say "no". Dude my drink was spiked. I couldn't even speak. I was semiconscious and I couldn't move. I didn't push the issue because I stayed with him. I don't know why he did that, we were together, a controlling narcissistic issue.

At least scan and search BOTH people's phones, but just scanning the victim's phone, because not the perpetrator's is backwards.
