Remember to get the collision number. If there isn't one, there's a strong chance that it'll not have been recorded as happening.
I learnt that last bit the hard way, over six months after being hit.
I have the call log reference and was given a separate crime number earlier.
Managed to speak to the PC who was diverted to another call yesterday. She said it’s with the other PC now, who is a road traffic accident officer. She did give me a direct extn for their supervisor, but they are not answering.
I rang 101 again and spoke to someone for an update. They advised me that there have been updates but that they cannot tell me anything. They advised that it’s now been passed to the divisional unit and I may get a call in 24-48 hours! When asked, they couldn’t guarantee that though. I was also told that if I went to the main police station there would be no guarantee of being able to speak to anyone about this.
Is this really the way things are supposed to work? Totally disenchanted, despite trying very hard consider how busy they must be with limited resources.
I may not turn down an ambulance if anything happens again. What a waste of resource that would be though.
There is honestly no wonder that criminals don’t feel worried about doing exactly what they please!?!
EDIT: This isn’t a pop at any individuals involved, or at any police officers in general btw. More at the system as I am sure that I will get somewhere once I actually get to talk to someone. Fingers crossed.
