This is not an unfamilar story .............its as if the police are waiting for people to die first then respond. I had a two situation last year , where i witness incidents and call the police , and it was as if i was a bother or calling someones household. in one case it was where i watch 3 boys broke into someones house , with my neigbhour acting as the look out . I was un able to speak up loud ...........which i indicated went i first started the conversation on the phone , due to the fact the a guy was standing right outside my window .....plus it was late in the night , and when the place is silent everyone can hear what you are saying if you are not careful. But what was even more disturbing was that when the police arrived 2 hour later , they didnt even come out the car , but shine a light on the building from inside the car then speed off . I then call the 911 number back , to ask what was that . They return 1 hour later and was asking me on the phone if i could come outside to speak to the police ...........i had to tell them that this most be some big joke or they trying to get me killed. The second incident was that i was driving along Minnie Street , off Wulf road where i say a guy running behind a guy with a hand gun. I tried to call the 911 number several times before success , then the operator ask me after half an hour if i was still in the area , and can i still see the guy. We need professionals to answer the phones , plus police ought to be in more focus areas , so as to minimize the responses time. Police officers are smart and know who are the trouble makers , but yet you often see them putting on a show sometimes , just to show the crowd who is in charge. If you are driving along the road on any given day throught certian corners of Nassau , you will say to yourself "how can the cops not see this , if i am seeing it " Get serious on these neighbour hood tugs , and hot spots , not just when some on is killed , but all the time.

I once witnessed 2 individuals breaking into cars in my neighborhood, so I called the police and told them where they were and how they were dressed. Of course, they never showed up, so I called again. About 30 mins later one car arrived, a policeman got out of the car and talked to the look out for about 20 seconds while the other hid in a near by laundromat. They then left. Again, the 2 individuals went back to what they were doing, so I called again. The person at the other end of the line asked me how I knew these individuals were up to no good and I told them, I live upstairs I can see the whole area pretty well. THAT was a dumb thing to do, the police then came again, went into the laundromat, retrieved the thief and, my house being the only 2 story building in the area, brought the thief practically to my front door to let me know they had caught him. Seriously?! Now I gotta be looking over my back thanks to our superb police work.

Wow>>>>>>>>>> it is so unfortunate ..............no wonder they gets no help !

This is really unfortunate. But the reality is that the CID units at the various stations throughout New Providence have all been closed down and the police nor the government has said anything about it. I know usually the CID unit from the Wulff Road Station would deal with matters in their area, which would be Blair. We always take two steps back.

This story could have been told 20 years ago and today our police stations are still not equipped. They still do things today like they did 20years ago.
