Unfortunately I had to give these…

Unfortunately I had to give these scumbags 1 star to proceed with the review.

Albeit, it has been quite sometime since this disgusting event took place. Perhaps you may understand the utter resentment I have for the police.
Briefly I lived above a shop in Bamber Bridge. Early morning there was a banging on the door downstairs and it was the police in plain clothes with a warrant for sister charged with theft. A charge never proven, never took place to begin with. My sister had already been arrested and taken to the police station directly from her home.
So when these unscrupulous officers arrived at the shop, I had no idea what was going on. My sister had been detained at the police station.

Upon entertain the shop, obviously I was confused the police officer gave toe a b square piece of paper about 2" x 3" wide which to me looked as though it was torn from some type of writing pad. On it were a few numbers handwritten in ink. Nowhere did I see Lancashire Police written upon it before it was rudely snatched out of my hand. It was then about 6 otticers entered the shop which I was still confused about. My mother lived above the shop and was equally confused.
The shop and flat are one unit with separate addresses. When I confronted the pig who handed me the 'warrant, he proceeded to further antagonise me.by, 'hopping from foot to foot, executing a perfect pirouette whist stuttering ' as if mimicking myself. Obviously this infuriated myself to no end. I remember these devilish actions promoting me to insult this pig.
His colleague inserted themselves between the threat and myself.

After having gone back upstairs to get my mother ( who incidentally had just had a hip revision at Wrightingtons Hospital) I helped her downstairs as she was in great discomfort and pain. Upon reaching the bottom step I discovered the doorway clearly marked as ' Private ' and displayed a different address had been forced/barricaded shut. Meanwhile mothers prior arranged lift was waiting outside the shop to take her to Wrightingtons Hospital for her appointment.
No joke, for a long time I banged on the door pleading for it to be opened because of the suffering tantamount to torture my mother was unnecessarily subjected to while waiting for door to be released by one of the pigs.
Upon the filth seeing both my mother and you could of heard a pin drop. Slowly we made our way to the vehicle waiting outside. Having promised my mother i would not make these filth suffer like my she did I returned to the shop.
At this point I asked for my copy of the warrant, details of each officer involved. None of which was forthcoming.it was then I had discovered these parasites had been upstairs searching around her flat thereby destroying the sanctuary of her home. God knows i was ready for vengeance. Oh,the llist goes on and on of their unlawful and nefarious violations causing great anguish to my family and I
Yes I am aware of the time lapse although I've attempted to log a complaint against these tyrants previously but I.am fearful of them and have kept my distance. I.dont and won't seek their assistance if needed. Nor assist if the chance presented itself.
So inclosing officers you are the reason I HATE the police.

Those present that day are unfit to engage with nor serve society. Unfit and an insult to the uniform they have no right to wear.

Thanks for your time

CFB.

You report a crime....

You report a crime, but they'll begin building a personal profile about you. They ask for your email, and tell you they'll send you a confirmation that the crime has at least been logged, even if it won't be investigated. But they don't even send you the email, which clearly indicates they don't even log the offence, presumably with the intention of improving their crime statistics. It'd be quite funny if we didn't pay for his joke of a public institution.

Police

The worst experience of my life the police are literally no good why I pay for them to protect us is beyond me. I am now suffering with depression anxiety from the second of this month. I do not even want to leave my home where it’s got to that bad. I don’t have a job anymore. Thanks to them. Never again. Will I help the Police after everything I’ve done for them.

I contacted the police to inform them that there were 2 teenagers terrorising young children on a park in Morecambe, because they weren't actually physically touching them there was nothing they could do. These teenagers are our future and while they are allowed to get away with it nothing will change. I didn't want them to send an army of police but maybe a Community officer. I just pray that these kids don't cause anything worse than I witnessed. No faith sorry.

Unfortunately I live near to areas with high Anti Social Behaviour, yet I have not seen a Lancashire police car in these areas since 2020. Disgusting, where is the tax payers money going to because it is not being used in policing or fighting crime. Instead Lancashire Police can now only be seen sat at the side of roads and motorways eating donuts or flying over in a helicopter.The shameful non-existent Lancashire Police Force..

Totally waste of time

Totally waste of time, trying to help them, can't get hold of officer in charge, even with a crime number.
Trying to report a crime is a total joke, more interested in every other subject than the crime. Why can't you just report the crime, than all this gender and woke information they want. We are all the same when a crime is committed. We just want a response.

Incompetency and Inappropriate behaviour

Useless and incompetent.
Once someone broke into my house and stole gold jewellery and new laptop whoever they couldn't recover anything thing.

Last night I got fined for tinted car window even I didn't got them tinted. They were already tinted when I bought it.
In the meantime I have approached in a private parking for prayer.
He issued notice in a private car park and wrote the place name of street outside the car park.
I'm being forced to accept an offence which I haven't committed.

I requested him to finish bit quick because I was getting late for the prayer however he ignored my request and tried to make fun of it.
He asked me why everyone is entering here same time I told him it is because of sunset prayer time.

Driving taxpayer's luxury cars then chasing and fining the same innocent taxpayers is not appropriate able at all.

It is very easy to fine and make trouble to ordinary peaceful citizens however when it comes to do some hard work for the same peaceful citizens they can't help.
It seems that they are not compatible enough.

Both incidents were very upsetting and disgraceful.

Absolutely useless Neighbourhood police

Absolutely useless Neighbourhood policing team (Blackburn, Audley) 3 times I have reported same issue -the ongoing loud noise nuisance in the evenings and ball games (constant ball kicking and hitting against the wall) in my street which is severely causing disturbance and disrupting peace, reported on 3 different dates, still nothing done. How many times are people supposed to report to police before something is done???

It's absolutely ridiculous and a big joke. Total waste of time and energy with zero result to the issue.
What am I supposed to do?
I am a law abiding citizen who cannot do anything more than verbally dealing with the inconsiderate, verbally aggressive, and rigid culprits, which I've already done a number of times. Only action left would be to go the police, who so far, I feel, just ignored my complaints at large.

It's so frustrating, stressful, and a big headache even thinking and writing about it here. The whole thing is distressing, and has affected my mental health and state of mind much.

My first initial reporting to the police was on 12 the June 2024.

CHECK THE FINE THEY GIVE YOU IS LAWFUL BEFORE YOU HAVE A FIGHT ON YOUR HANDS

If I could of chosen Zero I would. I was pulled over by a traffic officer who insisted my vehicles MOT was out, I had to pay a fine of £100 on my card to the SRU and prove my car had MOT then claim the £100 back. 5 phone calls 4 week and hours of emails I finally received the refund. Thus actually cost me allot more than £100 I was refunded. The law breaking the law to extort money out of the general public. If anyone from lancs police would like to reply and compensate me for what it actually cost me I’d appreciate it. I think a mention to the local newspaper u in a in order, don’t let them get away with it! How many other people just accept the fine? DK61TBO

Nasty officers

I moved from Morecambe to barrow several years ago . I suffer with depression and have been sectioned a few times in the past . I was told by a pc called " Pennington ( can't remember his first name)! If I really wanted to kill myself I should go to half moon bay , when it's dark , and walk out into the sea . It's totally unlit so it would very dark . What a bloody awful officer . It was some time ago , so I don't expect anything will happen

Rang to report travellers

Rang Lancashire Police to report travellers parking on our housing estate and letting horses loose and pooing all over the pavement, parking on double yellows, drinking beer, causing a nuisance, then driving away in their van and carts leaving a total mess. Was told it’s not a criminal offense, unbelievable! So drink driving, causing a public nuisance and parking blocking residents is obviously not a criminal offence anymore?! However, I was told it would be a criminal offence if the Neighbours moved them on ourselves, absolute waste of time, genuinely , in my opinion I feel they cannot be bothered and the way they answer the phone in the control room is a disgrace, like they’re doing me a favour for providing a public service and getting paid for it!

What the hell is going on there’s no law and order now people can do what they want and get away with it and the innocent people pay the price!!

Lancashire Police Farce

Lancashire Police should hang their heads in shame for the way they’ve mishandled my case.
A rogue trader drove up our drive in the Clitheroe area, smashed into the gate pillar, damaging the pillar and tearing a hole in the house wall.
It was all captured on CCTV, including vehicle registration. Lancashire Police initially said it was nothing to do with them (!) before finally realising it was and sent out an officer. Long story short, she didn’t do her job properly - and no-one supervised her - so a crucial 14-day period elapsed which meant the police couldn’t effectively take any action and the yob got away with it.
I made a complaint, was promised a call back by her sergeant who didn’t bother calling me. I rang back to complain further and was told an inspector would call me. He didn’t, he just got the sergeant to ring, which was completely unhelpful. I called the Police and Crime Commissioner and was promised the police Professional Standards would speak to me about my complaint. That never happened - I just got a terse email from them repeating what the sergeant had said.
Is this acceptable - no.
Has a criminal got away with it when all the evidence is there on a plate - yes.
Do I think Lancashire Police are good at their job based on my limited experience - definitely not.
A disgrace from woeful start to pitiful end.

Tyrannical officers and Abused law/sections

DC shah is absolutely incredibly poor at her job. couldnt detect if a lightbulb was on or off and her sgt is even worse and shows no regard for human life nor actual crimes committed. I was assaulted, falsely detained and then falsely attempted to section me when they had to release me and was released by doctors instantly. Unbelievable. do not even call these if your life are in danger you will have a better chance on your own. Have the audacity on top of that to say you wasted their time when they have kept you illegally for no reason because of someones words when they have done it themselves. Absolutely subpar with no regards for law or sections of PACE and do not care for the safety or rights of the public people. refuse to explain things because they have no explanation and act as if it is a playground. there are only two officers i have dealt with that deserve to be officers. the rest need to be retrained in professional standards. Especially in dealing with disabled people and other conditions of extreme mental health/vulnerabilities but they prefer to exploit them.

Blackburn greenback is AWFUL

Unhelpful, rude, inexperienced staff at blackburn greenback police station.. spoke to a female following concerns from a cowboy builder demanding money.. I was rudely interrupted and not able to get my message across, I was spoke to as suspect and I was not helped at all.. I have called on various occasions over the years for concerns or direct issues and the operators at greenbank are unhelpful and lack the knowledge to assist.. I have no faith in blackburn police.. unfortunately even the local police either don't look to be fit healthy and physically able or are small 5ft tall females whom with all due respect would not be able to deal with difficult situations..
