What do the words 911 is a joke mean to you? I found out yesterday, that unless a crime has already occured, no one will come when evidence that something is askew has been presented. I thought the protection of citizens and their property would fall under the obligations of NYPD and 911 Emergency Service. When I discovered someone had been trespassing and left their personal effects on the window sill that had to climbed up to, I knew 911 would respond. As long as no one entered the premises, being in a place on the property that invades privacy, was NO REASON for them to come. The response was, "Call back after the break-in occurs." Am I serious? Unfortunately, I am! Yes, a large rock was left on the window sill, yes a note with the person's address was left at the scene and other items were purposely left there, but they said, "No crime has taken place." I said to them, "Here is the address of the person who was here, please do a pick up of this unknown person who had no business being here." After the officer was sacastic on the telephone, and I asked her to repeat for clarity, the need for her to be re-trained in NYPD CPR was evident, I cannot believe possible injury or worse has to occur rather than prevention and or methods of determent. I can't understand why random stops and frisks are fine, but when I request help, it doesn't come. Perhaps my e-mail to the mayor and commissioner will answer my questions, but as for now.,, PUBLIC ENEMY IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, 911 IS A JOKE!!!!!!

While we're on the subject of Orders or Protection, what exactly is the purpose of this piece of paper anyway? I was dealing with a possessive ex-boyfriend who, through numerous phone calls and messages, threatened to do me bodily harm. When I presented this evidence at the precinct, I was given an Order of Protection, which clearly stated that he wasn't allowed anywhere near me, but who was going to enforce this? Too many times, women who are SUPPOSED to be protected by this piece of paper are harmed, and sometimes killed by the very men whom this paper is designed to protect them from... So I ask you, what other avenues do we have, as women to protect ourselves? Obviously, a piece of paper doesn't stand a chance against a gun, a bat, a knife, a fist, etc, (you get my drift). It's up to us to protect ourselves, "by any means necessary", because clearly, in this day and age, 911 IS A JOKE!!!
