Idea????????????
Next time call the local p.d. When the desk officer answers tell him you want to report a crime. Give him your location and tell him/her that you will wait for the cruiser to repsond and will gladly point out the criminals. Tell them also you will testify in court. Nobody has to demand a cruiser response. When you put it to them on the phone that you will wait for the officer, you have tied their hands. If the desk officer turns the call over to the C.O. of the shift c.o. balks, tell him/her that you will be in later to check the log and speak with his superior about how busy you said the shift is right now as the reason why he/her won't send a car. I don't know why everyone thinks that local officers cannot enforce these laws. At the very least the officer can take names and the shorts as evidence. He can confiscate any and all equipment as fruits of the crime, including the motor vehicle if they get in the car before the officer shows up.
In my cell phone I have the phone numbers of every S.P. Barracks on the cape and the Bourne and Norwell. Also Bourne P.D., Falmouth and Barnstable. If I travel further down those numbers will be entered also.
One thing you guys and gals have to remember most cops fish too. While they may not look forward to a sunrise walk down the beach on the south side they gotta do it.
If they refuse a letter to the editor of the local rag would change that slow or no response problem real quick. Besides they don't hesitate to ticket your sled for $25.00 and up when they catch you.
