I was wrongly arrested, when I had attempted suicide in a non public space, never called 999 once...No one from West Midlands police contacted me for a while when I reported I was going via exploitation until...No police EVER asked me if I was ok? When I was found after being reported missing multiple times..My experience in 30 sentences below.I was wrongfully arrested in OctoberIn 2024 I called my mental health team 4 help, told them I was feeling suicidal, in need 4 support.My mental health team called the ambulance, police on 999.I was alone, with no people in my presence, in a secluded area.I attempted suicide. A male police officer arrives, approached me in a secluded area. I begged 4 his help. The ambulance turned up, walked 2 the same secluded area.He arrests me 4 public nuisance!I asked the officer why had I been arrested & he said it's because I call 999 too much and for my safety?The ambulance said to the officer who had arrested me, she didn't call 999! I was compliant.The police officer left me in the ambulance van in handcuffs, didn't come back.The police charge for public nuisance was dropped/discontinued, immediately within 2 hrs!I complained 2 the police about this. I provided 2 year phone records, 2 the complaints team showing evidently I had NEVER called 999 ambulance or police, multiple charities text messages printsreens showing they called 999 in concern for my welfare.The ambulance staff made medical documents/accounts to what happened that day, documenting in their own words "I had attempted suicide and was immediately arrested for public nuisance and for my safety.No communications from the police, to create resolutions about the false 999 allegation made towards me.Asked police for inspector's email, that email didn't work. IOPC gave me right to review.Another instance I was let down. I went through exploitation in 2024 after ending up in a controlling relationship.The charities were concerned for me, therefore they had contacted WMP. I was vulnerable and a suicide risk at the time. It got significantly worse. At the time still no contact from police.Police came round, welfare check, and I ended up telling this officer about my concerns. Officer had copRadio on & his radio updated his fellow officers. On cop radio I hear someone say "do you think this is legit" he confirms it is.I showed the police officer the messages. Destroyed, upset 2 hear police talk about victims like this so openly. I later contacted police, on web chat, since things were getting worse with the relationship. The web chat officer gives me an email address for a detective in exploitation/abusive relationships.Had 2 make contact with the detective myself. Thankfully the Detective did a special referral for me 4 me as a emergency, when they saw the messages via email.Safeguarding team said over the phone, that they were going 2 send me the support links, didn't happen.Police said it's not my fault with what I went through, gave police info.I felt the police's personalities were a bit cold. 2 Traumatised 2 ever call 999 because of WMP.However I want to say thank you to those 2 police officers E & G for being there for me, the many hugs given, supporting me and my family, came round to 2 help me apply for college. To those officers who found me, rescued me from an awful situation, you are my hero's.
