Cops, stop complaining.
Our confidence on the boards
Testimony of Lavi in the Naor Committee proves that the police are an archaic, bureaucratic and older body.
Why bother going to the police station and filing a complaint, if it is known in advance that the case will be closed "out of lack of public interest"?
This is what happens when the organization is busy whining about lack of budgets, instead of fighting crime and keeping us

A woman travels to Bat Yam in the evening with her little daughter, accidentally snatches a bullet in the head because she got into a fight with criminals and is hospitalized in critical condition in the hospital.
Until now, no detainees have been reported in the case.
81 people from Arab society have been killed in the streets one after the other since the beginning of the year, and instead of the number of victims falling, it is skyrocketing.
Riots in mixed cities across the country, and in most cases police officers arrive last at the scene.
There is no doubt anymore - in the past year, the Israel Police has reached one of the low points in its history.
One has to listen to the testimony in the State Commission of Inquiry into the Mount Meron disaster to understand the magnitude of the catastrophe.
The commander of the Northern District, Superintendent Shimon Lavi, admitted that he did not know how many people would come.
"The worldview over the years is that there is no audience limit in Meron, as has been done for the past 30 years. No district commander has limited an audience, and that is a guiding principle of operations," he said.
"Any attempt to restrict and place barriers could result in bottlenecks and much greater disasters," he argued.
The Israel Police did know how many buses left in the direction of Meron before the incident.
You could probably find someone who understands simple arithmetic and calculate how many people the cops will have to deal with, move there forces in real time, and maybe even count the number of people entering the mountain, because that's the district commander's job - to deal with the riots.

But this is what happens in an organization where far too much energy is devoted to whining about budget, manpower shortages and low wages, and too little willingness and motivation to fight crime and keep us safe.
Because let's face it - our personal confidence on the boards.
How many of us bother to go to the police station and file a complaint about a home or car burglary, cell phone theft, or street bullying?
It is known that the diary or investigator will collect evidence and ensure that the matter is dealt with, but in the end, there is no chance that it will happen.
The most dedicated treatment we will receive is a message of “the case is closed out of lack of public interest”, or in other words, take the police clearance and go to insurance to get compensation.
We have no interest in dealing with criminals.
One can store the tissue and stop the regular nodding of the uniformed blues on a poor and shrunken organization.
According to OECD data, the proportion of police officers per citizen in Israel is higher than in most European countries (350 police officers per 100,000 inhabitants). 2% in Europe) and only recently 5,000 new police officers were absorbed.
Body without operational flexibility.

The conclusion is painful: the Israel Police is an archaic, older, bureaucratic, non-technological body, without operational flexibility that allows, say, a rapid transfer of forces from place to place. As one of the policemen said after the lynching in Bat Yam, when asked why the policemen were late arriving: "The incident did not take place where the police were." This is a police force that has no internal governance, but a collection of good people who fail to do what is expected of them, and for politicians it is very convenient. It is better for a weak police officer to stand on his hind legs and say that in the shocking conditions of the mountain, the lighting events in Meron will not take place and the world will die, even if it does not suit one or another party chairman, or go over the heads of criminals .
So we are afraid to walk around the street because maybe someone will accidentally shoot at us, or some car will explode in front of us when we are in line for ice cream, or they will just punch us because they thought it was someone else.
And the solution?
Police officers present in the field, who find the criminals and treat them.
Only then will the current equation, in which crime dominates our streets, turn into a situation where the police are the ones who intimidate and restrain.
