I don't know what it is but it doesn't seem like effective follow up to me. I think that many police officers here in NYC feel that unless something actually happens, what do you expect them to do about it? I was very angry because this morning, they didn't come to my house, I had to call 911 again and they informed me that the officers were outside. When I went to speak to them, they didn't get out of the car, nothing. It was a very uncomfortable feeling and made me feel like they thought I was crazy or something if you know what I am saying? I had an incident happen over a year ago where someone looked in my window and took pictures (maybe the same guy, who knows) but at least the officers actually came to my door and took interest in the incident. Now I can understand that maybe they were still scoping out the neighborhood to see if they could see anything (perhaps this has been reported before) but I am still angry because it was like, well, if you see him again, give us a call, and otherwise, there isn't much we can do. I mean what does it take, someone getting raped and killed before anything can happen? I know that is an extreme comment, but you would think the intelligent thing to do would be to take down information from the reporter of an incident like this again so in the event it happens again, at least there is a witness that can identify the guy. I am just venting but stuff like this makes me really really angry.
