^ I doubt they would be bitter against the DTI for not doing anything. The DTI, remember, does not actually travel in time. They only deal with others who do, if necessary.
why do temporal police just not care?

I've said this before and I'll say it again for the benefit of the OP newbie: In both instances on VOY where the "temporal police" were featured, it turned out that they were in fact responsible for the problems they were trying to fix. So obviously after realizing they were doing more harm than good, they completely disbanded the whole time cop thing, which is why you'll never see them again.
There is no referance to the Abrams timeline at all in that novel. Christopher explains as much here.
^ No *overt* references, but a passing mention.
I'm afraid I don't remember any referances, passing or otherwise. A few explanations about how alternate timelines work, which could be applied to the Abrams timeline, perhaps, but that was too generalized and vague to even be considered a passing referance.
Actually it was a brilliant idea, though used for comedy when they were introduced, but when there comes an era where time travel becomes more commonplace it makes sense to have a temporal "agency" of some sort. I honestly don't think they are able to "act" on much of what they do, but it still makes sense for them to acquire information. I would think they could only interfere in the worst of disasters.
RAMA
The Temporal Police were a lame, terrible idea as far as storytelling logic was concerned. I hope they're dead and gone forever.
Is it too late to change my vote from "I don't care" to this?

BTW, Lesko hangs out in my neighborhood - sometimes the Starbucks on Ellsworth. And he wears his question mark suits and sneakers just walking around town. Seriously.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me at all. ^^^
Well, just consider them as "Temporal Police", not "Dimension Police"
Even when Nero did time travel via black hole, but actually he traveled across the dimension. So, let us consider the JJ verse as a world that Temporal Police doesn't exist.
Why? Well, easy. That's because Vulcan was destroyed in JJ verse, the grand-grandfather or mother of the founder of Temporal Police were dead, making this group become non existence in JJ verse.

Probably.
I doubt it.
Pretty much all we know about the "Abramverse" is what was shown in the first movie. If it wasn't mentioned there, it doesn't exist.
Hah. If Star Trek was currently on the air, they certainly would do an episode about "Occupy Star Base 7" or something along those lines.
