My neighbour was burgled recently, and within 10 minutes three police cars, and six coppers turned up. The next day, forensics arrived and by the third day, we had posted details of the break-in and advice through our letterboxes. Then nothing, I’m pretty sure this is the usual way police go about ‘reassuring the public’, reactive not proactive, that we once had from the boys in blue.

I am staggered that he got that response. When I was still working for the Met in 2012, burglaries were only investigated if they involved violence. Otherwise, you had to report it online or by phone, and get a crime number for your insurance company.
(Unless you were very rich, or ‘important’ of course, in which case they sent detectives.)
Cheers, Pete.

So I was, something in the back of my mind is a news item promising to respond to every burglary. Mind you 2 days later they seem to have broken into a nearby house. We’re so remote 3 police cars could block all the exits from the estate.

I think Braverman announced a committed response to every burglary some time ago. But unless the suspects are still on the premises, there’s not much point. Just send forensics later, to get prints or/or DNA.
