Devon Cornwall Arvostelua 

I always thought that you went to the police when you had to and /or were a victim or saw something thus police would do something. Not been my experience in Devon or Cornwall. Here there's victim blaming, casual apathy and no resolutions. No feeling of safety, inadequate communication, lack of empathy, rudeness. So disappointed.

It's the hurty-word/feelings police.

Carry on down this road and they know what is likely to happen.

Beds weren’t comfy however got a free outfit and an egg sandwich call it a draw

Had a blow out on the A30 slip road for Camborne today and we had to stop in a dangerous location and 2 PC's from Camborne went above and beyond while the AA man helped 3 super heroes helped in our hour of need

I am extremely disappointed with the way my welfare concern was handled.

I contacted Devon & Cornwall Police because I was genuinely worried about a friend in Paignton. We had been in daily contact for a long time, and he suddenly stopped communicating for several days, which was completely out of character. As I live abroad and had no way of checking on him, I asked whether a welfare check could be carried out.

Unfortunately, I never received any acknowledgement or reply to my request, and, as far as I am aware, no one contacted either my friend or me. Thankfully, my friend turned out to be safe—his telephone had simply broken. Had that not been the case, the lack of response could have had far more serious consequences.

I fully understand that the police have limited resources and must prioritise emergencies. However, when someone raises a genuine concern about the welfare of a potentially vulnerable person, I believe they should at least receive an acknowledgement or an explanation of whether the matter has been assessed. Being left with complete silence was distressing and gave me little confidence in the handling of welfare concerns.

I hope this feedback encourages improvements in communication, because families and friends who report genuine welfare concerns deserve to know that their request has at least been considered.

Devon and Cornwall police are trying to frame me they have been hacking my phone my and now have got my doctors and hospital to lie and tamper with my medical records by making out I wasn't in hospital in February 2025 for severe heart failure and blood clots and in October 2025 for severe heart failure and blood clots and strokes the reason to make it look like I was on a mental ward I have complained and complained 20 times when I call 101 to report my medical records have been tampered with they cut me off every time and hang up because they don't it recorded on the phone system because they want to come and frame and streak my money and all my evidence that I have police officers are deleting any evidence I send them the same the doctors surgery and hospital who are deleting phone calls being made to them the reason why is to make me look mad to take away from the fact they are responsible for my mother's suicide because they dragged her out a bank without a phone call being made out her in a care then two months later she starved herself to death because they had me trying to frame back in February last year facts why won't you take my evidence why won't you let report crimes over the phone without being cut off rudley every time why are you hacking my phone trying to stop me sending evidence to people and why are you trying to steal my money from my bank accountant and steal the money my mum left me because I have cash in the house they are trying to steal it so I can't take them to court goodluck because your already being taken to court why won't let me send my medical records to anyone I have the evidence for everything I'm saying your a total disgrace who should be in prison for the murder of my mum Jane widdicombe a 76 year old women who you destroyed her life and trying to do the same to me I have severe heart failure and blood clots and strokes and kidney failure so well done you seem to like praying on the sick and the vulnerable and they are going to wait until I run out of medication which if I go days without I'm seriously ill then frame and make out I don't need my meds which will kill me so I have no choice than to go off without my meds and stop eating and die I'm being forced to kill myself thanks to police who forced my mum to do the same

Your bully's and you use these powers thinking your above law.
You scare vulnerable people and make them want to commit su*cide.
Your the people who are ment to help not harrass scare and manipulate vulnerable people like you done to me you have assaulted me and hurt me and you think I am wanting to speak to you you are disgusting peice of work

Better off speaking to a brick wall.
Most of the staff that I have dealt with have been extremely unhelpful, the friendly and helpful staff are normally the ones in reception

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 updated this last October, I've had trauma from the police can't eat and they've lied , I had seizures in the van I was 213 over 139 in station in and out of fits and tachycardic all day and dumped in mental place just to be told the police should of taken me to hospital no need to be there I'm not mental. They nearly killed me my heart is alot worse now. I'm 8 stone from 14 nearly dead because of them yet still court lying bastard's

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
