Who pays to replace the doors that the Police break down
to get into the homes or suspected criminals

[Graham-W]

You and me do....out of our taxes.

If it's for a film crew then the company pays for the damage. I only know this on account of someone I know getting their front gate blown up in 'Cracker'.

If the criminal is charged, they pay for it.....
If the police broke down the wrong door, we pay for it...

There was an episode on a couple of years ago where the police broke down a door to find an elderly couple having their breakfast. They were quite surprised.....

My door was smashed in by the police a few years ago and the police realised straight away they had got the wrong house.
There was some argument because I did not answer the door but it was 5am Sunday morning and they thought the door was extremely expensive for the type of house.
I had to also have the hall and landing decorated as a result as well as 2 shelves, antique grandfather clock and ornaments replaced.
The damage came to nearly £7,500. The police did agree this was genuine but they did try to pay less as they thought the damage was extremely unfortunate and I should pay for part of it ie they did not think it could have been forseen a grandfather clock would be there.
It was nearly 15 months when the police finally settled.
