So this is why my case was never followed up

A guy named Charles Simms (no not from the game) reported his van being stolen in September this year. He apparently reported it to the police and even provided a name and phone number.

The police never followed it up. Didn't do anything.

The herald reported that this is how the police handle crime reports (and what I think it means):

Mandatory services
Responding to ministerial correspondence (Speeding especially when the PM enjoys it)
Responding to parliamentary questions (Why were you speeding?)
Sudden deaths (Which sport?)

Critical services
Home burglaries (Even though this is under critical services, they do not respond for days)
Homicide (Now this one they do respond, hopefully on time though)
Serious drug offences (I think they use the confiscated drugs themselves and form a 'sick police culture' over in South Auckland)

Priority services
Vehicle theft (If this is a priority, why wasn't Simms' case followed up? Especially he gave the cops a lead)
Family violence (oh you mean police officers raping women?)
Child abuse (I hope so. Although Child, Youth and Family usually respond to these)
Robbery (ah yes, you dial 111 and report a robbery and the first thing they ask is if the offender is still there, if not, they continue on their sick culture and come several days later)

Discretionary
Commercial burglaries (I do not know why this is separate from Robberies...oh yes...the offender is not there so it is not priority!)
Theft from cars (As above, what is stopping them from investigating if leads are provided)
Company fraud (hey, steal millions of dollars from companies and the police may NOT investigate!)
Shoplifting (Commerical vs retail...since it is under the 'we don't care' section, might as well combine this with the Commerical Burglaries)


The police system is useless. The Herald did forget one thing under Mandatory. i.e. Revenue gathering, issuing speeding tickets, rituals for sick police culture!
