Initial ActionInformed
Negative comment available for analysisI felt the officers could have taken the time to listen to me and I had to say which may have lead to the arrest of the person.The officers need to spend more time out on the street and not doing surveys, i would prefer it if they were mailed to usThe officer was polite but the victim was left feeling that nothing could be done about itProvide Reference numbers or a point of Contact. Having spoke to this person and to Pc I am convinced she was getting Pc confused with the Dc who later phoned her up. I have spoken to Pc who was very surprised at the impression she has been left with from the service she received from him. He explYes- This victim cannot remember speaking to the WCO.She received a letter informing her of the trial date and and warning her to attend court however she does not believe that she had been given enough information. She also said that she had to call theVictim believed that her neighbours children were responsible. She does not get on with all her neighour, but felt police should have knocked on a few more doors.Could of warned male at time of attending. NoCatch someoneI do not feel the incident in May or this incident has been dealt properly. NoThe officers did not say who called police when i initially asked" Im not sure what they could have done really.Victim was not happy with the service provided - she felt that officers did not care and did not provide enough information as to what would happen. VIW had contacted Lewisham Police in the past about a similar matter and found them more positive. I wanted to be taken home by the officers as I was upset. They were unable as they said they had too many call s to deal with.
