I have played several games in my Steam library for more hours than it takes to become a police officer.

Australian here. Our police are still shit after 3500hrs just FYI.
Have they shot anyone randomly lately?
No, they dont seem to even show up to crimes that are actively being committed.
Have you tried being filthy rich?
I have tried very hard it did not work.
Being filthy rich or having the police show up?
I work at a high school in a rich area in Australia. One night someone broke into a handful of lockers, no idea what they would have been hoping to find and to my knowledge none of the kids reported anything missing. Basically no harm done, and no damage to the crappy plastic lockers. The police sent a forensics team to check everything out.
A couple of months ago I got a new car and on the very first night it got broken into for an old pair of sunnies worth maybe a dollar on their best day. I had to pay for repairs and waste a week of my time getting it sorted out, during which time I had to borrow my sister's car for work. Measurable time and money wasted on my part, plus now I'm paranoid about parking at my own home, the cops barely bothered to take the time to take my report over the phone. I get that there's nothing they could really do about it anyway, but it still feels pretty shitty that literally nobody except me even pretends to care when actual crimes have been committed against me.
Where I live, if no one is injured or anything, car break ins, car thefts, stuff like that - police just tell you to fill out an online form and you’ll get your police report in a few days. They will not show up.
Honestly, for non violent stuff that's already done, that's a pretty good system. Having the police show up at that point is just a security blanket.
One of them has been taking shots at becoming PM a couple times, and couldn't even get that done. He's now resorted to starting (culture) wars instead.
thank you i was looking for this.
the many hours of training do make a difference in quality of work. i feel like german and american policeforce are barely compareable
