I think it's a bit of a balancing act. If the police take every report of harassment to the CPS they will deal with nothing else.

I agree. But then if police chased where every missing person from a kids hime had been it's also put a huge strain in their ability to respond to emergencies. And yet after Op Sanctuary...

By mandating the arrest on the 2nd contact with police you are removing the discretion of the victim and cop to alternative resolutions all due to IPCC recommendations

Yup. But police will get hammered for doing what the victim asked here. And be hammered if they didn't. Just arrest him and CPS NFA them.

Unfortunately the force has now been cut to such a level that there is no way they can provide the level of service the public want or expect. I think the public would be astounded at the amount of response officers currently policing our streets.
Although the Government are mainly responsible for this, the way the force is structured doesn't help the situation.

The way the force is structured? Go on..

Minimum 22, so he might not get out until much later, if at all.

Agreed on this bit to an extent. Part of me thinking he may as well have just handed himself in and coughed it.

But the need is there to build a case and the police have done an excellent job here.
 
felt the ending to that was rushed somewhat but compelling stuff nonetheless.

credit to the chief inspector & her team. Worked at phenomenal pace.
