stolen car found in parking lot by owner Open

220 Wallace St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Mill River

owner of this business found an abandoned car in his lot and tried to report it to new haven police. they told him he would have to pay to have it towed from his yard without even wanted the plate # to check and see if it was reported stolen. It was stolen from west haven and undamaged at the time of the call, that night it started getting stripped and wrecked.... what would it have took to punch in 6 digits in to the system to check it. wonderful policy this is, such a shame and a waste that we could of had the car back before the damaged occured.

  So is this an open issue, or a commentary on the police department?

  I too have had problems with the dispatchers at NHPD. They are rude and dismissive. Recently I filed a complaint with internal affairs about a bigger problem I had with NHPD. I mentioned that it was difficult to get the officer on my case to return my calls and that I'd left several messages. The internal affairs officer (who was incredibly professional) said that I was lucky to get a return call. She said that the dispatchers hand-write notes (on paper!) and physically hand them to the officer. If the officer and the dispatcher don't overlap, they often just get thrown away. This is obviously a big digression from the issue you raise, but there are apparently huge problems with this system. It's like they're living in some very lazy version of the dark ages.
  
  Anyway, i hope that you will file a complaint. The link explaining how to do this can be found here: http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/police/Divisions/InternalValuesEthics.asp . I'm sure it won't amount to much but at least it will be one more complaint about this horrible system.
  
  Your case is just ridiculous. In the end it will require more work and time and money from the police and many other people. such a shame.

  @resident: it's an open issue that involves the police department and their lack of response to solving a crime and preventing further criminal activity. some discussion of the police's mishandling of the situation and similar problems that others have experienced seems warranted.

  I would never rely on the police to care for my property, and would have paid to have my car towed home right away. Your story is a good warning to others to do the same. A person could take photos of the car in situ as evidence, rather than think the PD would help you. I always get treated like I am wasting the dispatcher's time when I call to report issues in my neighborhood. It's like they are trying to be rude and dismissive and condescending in order to get taxpayers to stop calling.
