“One of the senior sergeants pretty much stood over me, was quite rude and intimidated me so I asked him if he wouldn’t mind just to stand outside of my home,” she told the outlet.
After taking the evidence, the officers left with her account of the story.

The senior constable later called her up and left a voicemail at around 12:47 a.m., informing her that there wasn’t enough proof to move forward because her ex-partner simply denied the accusations.
But what happened next revealed the true nature of the system. The senior constable didn’t realize he hadn’t hung up, which led to his conversation with hisfellow officersaccidentally being recorded in the voicemail.
“This b—h is going to be like, ‘What the f—! What the f—!’ You are so getting a complaint,” one officer was heard saying, triggering a laugh from the others.

“They can’t say ‘failed to investigate,’” another officer said.
“Nah,” the senior constable responded. “It’ll be that I wasn’t professional enough or some b——-.”
They then joked about the woman feeling unsafe, saying: “It’ll probably be um, even your sergeant told you to get out.”
“I pretty much just got told that it was just office banter and they couldn’t proceed with anything,” she said.
“It’s hard when you don’t have anyone to reach out to, and you feel like you’re all alone and the people who are supposed to help you are just not there to help you,” the woman said

“It just makes me feel like, what’s the point? Why call them?” she said. “It feels like that when you’re in trouble that yourneighboris more likely to help you than the police.”
“It’s hard when you don’t have anyone to reach out to, and you feel like you’re all alone and the people who are supposed to help you are just not there to help you,” she added.
“There was no information provided about whether there would be further disciplinary action for the officers involved,” they added.
