If it’s a public service then consider it understaffed and underfunded!
Joking aside, yes, I imagine the todo to respond to this was lost, forgotten, or deprioritised thanks to either poor management/organisation or underfunding.
It’s so bad that the Home Office is issuing quotas for “High-priority” crime which is code for solve things that make the news headlines: large scale drug busts, charging murderers, seizing large sums of cash and assets.
But they’re completely deprioritising other crimes from bike theft to shoplifting to domestic violence and reducing the amount of community engagement activities.
Addressing smaller crimes and having officers engaged with the community is essential for fostering a safe environment. And here’s the kicker; the more these low-level crimes go unpunished, the more high-level crimes happen are more likely to happen when fuelled by economic downturn.
I’ve heard that the British police is understaffed. So that have something to do with this.
