Once again, I appreciate anecdotal stories and having a negative experience...though the large portion of Calgarian's (ie. 96%) are satisfied or very satisfied with CPS.

In its 2012 annual citizen satisfaction survey, the Calgary Police Commission found residents’ confidence in police work ranks high, with 96% saying they are either very satisfied or satisfied with the service.
“The Calgary Police Commission is very pleased to see that citizen satisfaction with (the force) has increased for the fifth year in a row from a low of 89% of citizens who were satisfied or very satisfied with our police in 2008 to a high of 96% today,” chair Mike Shaikh said during the release of the report Tuesday.

On the topic of under-reporting...
Quote:
Brookwell said the tendency for people to underreport crime is disheartening and yet a mind-set that seems to be seen across North America.
The survey shows about 65% of those who didn’t report a crime claim they “didn’t want to bother police,” while “22% felt police could not do anything.”
“There is an inherent trend to underreport,” he said.
“Many people don’t want to bother us with their petty little things — nothing is minor, because 10 to 15 minor things become a problem in the community.”
