A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

It sounds like a system begging for consolidation.
There must be huge inefficiencies with so many different and sometimes overlapping law enforcement organisations.
There are. I live just outside police jurisdiction. My neighbor got his truck stolen and called the police, they said "Sorry, can't help ya, call the sheriff." He called the sheriff's office and got a recording that they are only open Wed-Thurs-Fri, 12pm to 4pm, that he could leave a message and expect to hear back then (it was Saturday).
He had video of the thieves and the car they showed up in, including license plate and clear shots of their faces. Sheriff said "Well, it's been five days, they probably ditched that car by now, not much we can do."
That’s insane, and incredibly infuriating.
Your neighbour must be pissed.
