Police on TikTok

For the amount of time and effort it takes I think it might help youngsters see the police in a different way.

If that means one person contact them over something who might not have done otherwise, then that’s a good thing.

They seem to also get comments from other parts of the world, so raising the islands profile slightly.

It certainly doesn’t do any harm.

We going to get tangible evidence of this?

Don't see it making a blind bit of difference.

"No mate, let's not commit this crime coz these guys are right funny on TikTok"

I wasn’t talking about commuting crime.

I was talking about people who might need help from the police, who might now see them as less scary and intimidating and so reach out.

Either way, the time and money involved is f all and it doesn’t do any harm.

My son in law was recently assaulted by a neighbor in Kent, where our new Chief Constable was recently serving.  It was reported immediately, but no response.  After nearly 10 days a Sergeant telephoned them and gave them a web page which they could send their evidence to.  No visit by an officer no evidence collecting of medical or cctv, unless they gathered it themselves. They eventually agreed that they may send an officer to do some house to house, long after any evidence has gone stale. They are still waiting. This is the standard of modern policing in Kent. Social media all the way but you wont see anyone and be prepared to gather your own evidence. Lovely pictures of sunsets though. We want face to face conversation with officers who know the area and the people.  We want genuine caring, not box ticking. There are some very good officers out there who do a great job under difficult circumstances. They deserve our support. Tik Tok is  not the answer.

You may be mistaken regarding our new CC having recently served in Kent.

According to local media coverage of his appointment here, he arrives from West Yorkshire Police, who he joined in 2014. Prior to that he served in Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire forces, according to this article - https://www.policeprofessional.com/news/west-yorkshire-appoint-new-acc/

Your general comments regarding modern policing are not restricted to Kent though.  Friends of ours who reside in Lancashire, waited five days for a scenes of crime officer to attend their burglary last autumn.  They were told not to touch anything until the scene had been examined.
