Maybe I am being a bit harsh on them, but I can't say I've had a good experience with them or that they are good at projecting a positive image. Numerous times I had my house burgled or bicycle stolen and they were so damn listless about the whole affair, they literally took a out a ledger and wrote a description of the bicycle long hand. It's 2017 not 1917. They are stuck in the past and don't really seem to do their job to the level that is necessary. Their aversion to technology would be funny if they weren't a police force. They also seem to have a big chip on their shoulder when it comes to law breakers, they take everything personally and in their indignation often do the paperwork wrong. I have a few stories that are shocking, but to protect parties I won't recall them here. I think the barriers to people with skills joining the force and enriching it with fresh blood are what is preserving it's holier-than-thou attitude to technology and the future while cementing their dumb and archaic process. I think they could learn a lot from the PSNI, they've being around less than 20 years and seem to be a far more effective and modern organisation.
