<p>Police receive more than 220 complaints a week for being rude, figures show.</p>
<p>Complaints about the police went up by 8% last year to 33,854, with one in five allegations concerning officers being deliberately rude or intolerant, the police watchdog said.</p>
<p>There were a total of 11,576 allegations of incivility, including rudeness, against the police. A further one in four allegations against police in England and Wales were about officers being slow or ineffective.</p>
<p>Len Jackson, interim chairman of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), said: &#8220;The number of &#8216;rude and late&#8217; complaints highlights the standards expected of the police service and the need to improve how they interact with the public.</p>
<p>&#8220;While some aspects can be improved without cost, such as through better leadership, smaller police budgets will present a challenge around levels of service and public expectation. This will require forces to develop an open dialogue with the public.&#8221;</p>
<p>One in 10 allegations against police were substantiated, the same proportion as in previous years, the figures showed.</p>
<p>In all the 33,854 complaints made in 2009/10 contained 58,399 allegations of misconduct, the IPCC said.</p>
<p>The watchdog also outlined changes being made to the way complaints statistics are compiled in an attempt to create a simpler system that is &#8220;more in line with the public&#8217;s expectations&#8221;.</p>
<p>Deputy Chief Constable John Feavyour, the Association of Chief Police Officers lead for complaints and misconduct, said: &#8220;The job of a police officer is unique in society, with officers routinely placing themselves in dangerous and stressful situations to keep the public safe.</p>
<p>&#8220;The public rightly expects high standards from the police service and police officers and the challenge for us as a service and as officers is to maintain high levels of professionalism during a period when we are being asked to do much more with fewer resources available.&#8221;</p>
