Yes, it is. Any "un-wanted" touching of ANYBODY (let alone a police officer) is legally and technically an assault.
Police are an element in reducing crime but can't do it alone, there must be community involvement in keeping a community safe. Communities that expect the police to do the job alone can expect an ongoing cycle of criminal activity.
I don't - police depend on the help from the public in most cases.
Technically a police officer can investigate anything alone, assuming it isn't a potentially violent or threatening situation. That being said, many police officers and police departments prefer to have more than one officer on the scene "just in case."
The simple answer is - because it's not just their job !The primary role of the police - is to uphold the law of the land, detect and preserve evidence after a crime has been committed, and offer advice where necessary on ways to reduce a persons vulnerability to being a victim of crime. Everyone - no matter what country they live in - has a moral obligationto (a) abide by the rules and laws set out in statute (b) help to reduce crime in their area - by being vigilant and aware of possible weak-points and (c) reporting anything suspicious to the authorities.It's no use moaning about high crime rates - if a person cant be bothered to report crimes when they happen ! If people expect the police alone to reduce crime - the only way would be to put an officer on EVERY street corner in the country - which is practically, financially and logistically impossible !
1. Leave it alone. 2. Tell a responsible adult- parent, police officer, teacher, fire fighter.
If that's what you wish to do, and you're capable of handling the job, then perhaps. This is really a decision which you and you alone need to make.
Law enforcement officers are part of a 'team,' but they most often work alone, except in some major cities especially in high-crime areas.
because they are part of the community of which they also need to be supported for them to effectivelly combat crime
