Devon Cornwall Reviews 38

Got attacked in Falmouth, all caught on CCTV. PC Strike was absolutely useless and even though the offender is known they have said that they aren't pressing charges. I had several cuts and bruises and possible concussion. They didn't even visit to take a statement or turn up at the scene.

Seen their new propaganda videos demonising white people again .
Ethnic minorities can be victims of racism but white people can't.

Typical trash this stuff needs to stop against white people.

Seriously failed a relative reporting domestic abuse. Failed to attend a 999 call for help. Failed to investigate crime report that included sexual assault, coercive control, gaslighting, stalking in the home and constant, escalating harassment.

Our car was hit whilst parked. The vehicle that hit it had obviously left the scene, no note was left. I tried to report it. 101, but the non-emergency service does not offer an out-of hours option for such incidents, and it has to be reported online. Fine, I reported it online which took a good 45 minutes. Most of the report was about me, I had to supply my details (age, ethnicity etc) details about my driving licence and insurance policy. When it comes the actual report, the dialogue box is limited to a mere 200 characters - that's it, just 200 characters. This gives the clear impression that Devon and Cornwall Police are not really interested in people reporting crime. Incredibly disppointing and it makes me wonder where the part of Council Tax I pay to them actually goes.

Devon & Cornwall Police = Not Fit For Purpose!!!

Amazon erroneously delivered a parcel belonging to me, to a neighbour, that I have received a long standing history of antisocial behaviour and damage to my property from. Amazon have confirmed the address that the parcel was delivered to (with photographic evidence) and have said they cannot get the parcel back from the neighbour. This was reported to the Devon and Cornwall Police who told me that as it is not within public interest they're unlikely to become involved. It's a great time to be a criminal folks, cause damage, take something that doesn't belong to you, cause alarm, harassment and distress and the Police will do absolutely nothing, in fact they'll call those responsible for the antisocial behaviour "mate" and protect them from being held accountable. Devon and Cornwall Police who are currently under great scrutiny for their failure to act. The Police Conduct in my case alone is shameful. It's no surprise we are now living in a lawless society where criminals prosper. Devon and Cornwall Police need totally disbanding and bringing in a new force that can actually deal with crime. This current shower are not fit for purpose but their collecting their money each month for doing sod all to help people in genuine need. Wake up Britain, all the time taxpayers pay for services we're not receiving those at the top pat themselves on the back and laugh at us!

Barnstaple officers and 999 staff had REPEATEDLY and ILLEGALLY covered up for certain dangerous thugs who have (previously) given me hassle and the corrupt IOPC have repeatedly brushed their "HIGHLY ILLEGAL" cover-ups and law-breaking under the carpet!!!

I again ask "when can I expect a PROPER judical/serious case review for the utterly bone idle and corrupt "incompetents" (aka officers) who "ILLEGALLY" perverted the course of justice when they knowingly/ILLEGALLY covered up for the activities of a certain dangerous local thug at around 10PM July 4th 2019 in Boutport Street (AIDING AND ABETTING)?!?!?!

Clean yourselves up and stop covering up for lazy, corrupt and bigoted officers and dangerous law-breaking criminals!!!!!!

I strongly believe that at least 90% of the rubbish I have experienced from thugs over the last 12 odd years "SHOULD NOT" have taken place and was entirely PREVENTABLE were it not for the "SYSTEMATIC ENABLING" by numerous "bone idle, bigoted, corrupt, incompetent and braindead" officers and 999 staff, who should have done their jobs "PROPERLY" from DAY 1!!!!!!!

2022 I met an ex-Plymouth police officer who said that Barnstaple coppers were absolutely useless, badly managed and that Barnstaple was a more violent place to live than the city of Plymouth, whilst in 2023 one of my friends/contacts stated that he knows a current police officer in Gloucester who's given the exact same opinion to him and a couple of months ago this year (2024), yet another random friend of mine stated that an officer he knows had requested to change police forces, due to how "badly managed" Barnstaple's police force was!

CLEAN YOURSELVES UP AND SORT YOURSELVES OUT!!!!!!!!

Another update (18/12/2025):

Yet again, I had another violent idiot threatening to batter me last night, as another "indirect consequence" of corrupt, lazy and bigoted officers and 999 staff covering up for the above dangerous robbery convict and the lazy morons decided to stay in their comfy offices and hope i leave them to relax!!!!

I have had many valuable items stolen from my property by Devon and Cornwall police along with recorded item siezed that they did not return(Thieves). Totalling more than £2000.
They fabricated statements(LIARS).
I have also been viciously assualted while hancuffed (Abusers).
I refused to let them in without a warrant so they came back and smashed in my grade 2 listed front door.
Sadly all the allegations were dropped,would have looked like a bunch of cowboys in court.
I resent paying council tax that is being wasted on the UKs biggest gang of thugs and abusers.

Absolutely woeful response. I am a disabled person who is unable to defend my home. Tonight my house was targeted by young adults throwing rocks and eggs at my home. The police response over the phone: We have patrols in the area. I asked exactly where, and if they could be visible in my street please because it’s largely unlit. The response: I can’t say that. It’s Halloween and we are having several reports of incidents. I could not reason with the person on the phone about being a vulnerable adult. She hung up the call. Shameful.

All the staff , all red and blues need to leave Cornwall cause they just upset me badly treated like shit , lied to me sent me to mental place for a flipsnt remark. Getting pc burtwrll sacked the cow and the liars. Barrister already on it. I was so obviously ill and can't remember even being there most of it, but I was treated like a criminal when I'd done nothing wrong it was my psychotic ex ( her mum was worse been past down to her , got slashed ,punched , head hit against wall , beaten to where I'm bleeding bad from places I shouldn't yet Truro police done nothing, nothing about the abuse,sexual abuse and using my son as a weapon. ) all that I've stayed away even stayed out of Truro for months to not be thinking about my son constantly, I'm worried about my son. Police blaming wrong person, interview i can't really remember just hope they realise I've done bugger all and did not deserve how i was treated, door opened cuffed before telling me why half asleep seizure in van and meds late so didn't work. Never been so confused in my life. On bail with no paperwork to say where to go. ? I think what they done is just as illegal as my ex was . No star if I could.

I caught so called speeding, do 68 in a 70, wait for it.
Several years ago my van was converted to a camper, from a panel.
Now, a camper can do 70mph in a 70 speed limit.
After speaking to the DVLA you do NOT have to change the vehicle classification. My vehicle has everything that makes it a camper including side windows, Ive solar on the roof and doesn't look like a regular panel van.
Yes, a panel van can do 60 in a 70 zone.
With fridge, fixed bed and sofa, storage and eating area. Yet, the Devon and Cornwall Police want to prosecution me.
Luckily ive done some serious research and on this occasion they are wrong.
I very much stick to the speed limit as use to be a professional driver.
I know have to go through the hassle photos and explanation all in writing.
With enough stress under my belt of 2 lots of cancer and a mother dying with cancer.
The person I spoke to via email just didn't give a ---- shame on them.

Where is my property? You took it away it was recorded in interview in front of my solicitor that it would be returned and that was on 14/05/25, yet I am still waiting 1 month later for someone to return it I mean you have enough officers and enough hours in the day to take 5 minutes to return what is rightfully mine but instead just like the dvsa you ignore me. It's no wonder people lose faith and trust in the police force in this country because you abuse your powers.you take people's property and then don't return it when you said you would, that is called theft but do you get punished for it NO, yet if I took something and didn't return it I would get done for it so why should you be allowed to get away with stealing people's property instead of returning it

Corrupt Freemasons killers along with Plymouth community homes and killer neighbours namely gavin west of Plymouth community homes and Freemason police in Plymouth evil trying to kill Ederly and push them out of her home pure evil

Assaulted in my home, caused my shoulder to be dislocated and they're well aware I'm mentally unwell. Those officers did this because I touched one of their feet with my big toe. Violent, aggressive and nasty, insecure people. DO NOT CALL THEM. THEY ARE VIOLENT

Living in Cornwall the police are awful!!100% horrible and useless. Just had a concerned neighbour call the police to do welfare check. At 1st I told them where to go, I'd had enough but I found out they are from Plymouth and their manner was so different. They were actually very kind. 5stars and although too stressed at the time I want to say thank you for just being normal and kind. 0stars Cornwall police , 5stars Plymouth police!

Pathetic 2tier policing again… what an utter cowboy set up they are 😡

IOPC guidance on police complaints makes it clear that:

"A complaint must be recorded under Schedule 3 to the Police Reform Act 2002, and handled in accordance with the provisions of that Schedule, if at any point the person making the complaint wants it to be recorded. This applies even if previous attempts
have been made to handle the complaint outside of the requirements of Schedule 3."

Note the MUST - it is the law that the police have to do this and there are no exemptions. Devon and Cornwall Police break this law by failing to record police complaints when asked. This allows them to illegally bury the complaint with no accountability whatsoever. They know they can do this because there is no right of appeal. When valid complaints are submitted to them about their failure to record complaints they then fail to record these. They are an utterly cynical organisation which knows it can break the law with impunity and does exactly that. A senior police force has described them as approaching a state of "freefall". The truth is they have been falling down a bottomless chasm of oral and legal irresponsibikity for many years.

If I could give a zero I would. As a victim of harrassment all one sided and evidenced to then be told it’s not harrassment is just mind boggling. No wonder no,one respects or likes the Police anymore they are only interested in generating revenue they are an embarrassment to society and nothing but a government extension now I know many people who have the same opinion I wonder why. Live up to their reputation.

D&C police traffic division seem to love any excuse to close a road for as long as possible with no regard to the plight of vehicle passengers stuck in resulting delays. People miss vital appointments and treatment. If the RTC is a fatal, fair enough, but even minor collisions the first response seems to be "close the road". If you're close enough to the front you see them laughing and joking with their hands tucked into protective vests with little happening to clear the scene. Travelling the whole UK, D&C are by far the worst at RTC management.

Shocking & despicable behaviour from this organisation.
Last year I was violently assaulted, broad daylight in Wadebridge centre after I tried to stop 2 drunk & belligerent men from shouting obscenities & sexual abuse at passing women, some with their children.

Police took 4 hours to respond from 1st 999 call made about them shouting abuse & throwing golf balls at cars & shop windows. I was assaulted one hour before police turned up & arrested the 2 men.

They have since dropped the charges (according to housing association) against the 2 men who assaulted me & when I enquired in January 2024 as to why D & C police have dropped the charges even though I provided 3 witnesses who they DID NOT interview, there was no reply.

I have since January 2024 made 4 enquiries to D & C police to ask if they have indeed dropped the charges & why & I have made 3 complaints to the IOPC & STILL no reply at all. IOPC are useless & toothless.

So if all this is not bad enough, last few weeks we've got a new neighbour in the building who is screaming threats at female carers who work in the building, threatened to kill me, smash my face in & smash my car up & shouting racial slurs about white people out in the street for all to hear.

All of this has been recorded on CCTV & police called 3 or 4 times & viewed CCTV. Each time, the police mollycoddle him because he pulls the race card. He has not been arrested even though it is an offense to threaten to kill someone or violently threaten them in the street.

I rang D & C police on 9/11/24 to say I want to press charges against this individual & was told that I can't because it's an "open case" & "mediation" is being brought in.

If I was to do the same to ethnic minorities, you can guarantee that I would be arrested & facing up to 5 years in prison.
