Accidents, police and ATC

HI

for my misfortune, I have witnessed 3 Robinson heli accidents at airfields in the UK.

In each case there was some degree of personal injury.

In each case the airfield re opened within with an hour or two

In each case no police were called.

Could some one exlplain exactly why the police are involved at Swansea?

were they called by over entheusiastic ATC?

Did they(police) over step their authority?

The most seriously injured pasenger was left lying (BY THE POLICE) on wet grass, in Forensic type clothing, with obvious very serious head injuries!!!
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS AN ONLOOKER COVERED HIM UP!!!

Why was the airport not reopened for 3 full days??

An explanation from ATC and PLOD would be welcome
