He was told an inspector had downgraded his call from an immediate response call to an emergency call
Police have apologised to the son of a former assistant chief constable after it took 15 hours for officers to respond to his report that his life had been threatened.
“Initially, they sent me a WhatsApp message saying they were going to chop me up and my family, they then started phoning constantly from a withheld number, I answered and they basically said they had a gun, they were on their way to shoot me and they were on their way now,” he said. “I phoned police back and they said they were incredibly busy, they said, ‘we don’t have as many police as we used to so we can’t come to you just yet’.”
