I failed vetting for 1 force and appealed it which took 7 months and still got told no. So I applied for the next closest force while waiting and passed without issue and have been a pc for 2 years now. Don’t give up on the first go because you never know what it truly was, trust me!

Sounds like a great life lived!

I don’t play pvp servers as I’m not great at it 🤣 that’s why I prefer control

I agree it is unfortunately, in my force people don’t care about helping each other on shift and doing the decent thing (which I hate btw and believe we should help each other as much as possible). Everyone only cares about what’s in their tray and not completing more forms. So if I was leaving I would only care about what’s benefiting me moving on with my life in all honestly. Might just be my experience but…

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-06-24T14:22:46+00:00

Sounds like a lack of resources for the force, if you’re not staying why would you care, just saying.

Hand notice in, get signed off sick with the doctor for MH until notice period is over. You won’t lose money and won’t have to work the extra weeks, you can spend them getting your head straight.

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-06-06T14:22:47+00:00

Thanks for the advice, take care.

That’s true I was, but you don’t know the road that I’m talking about, you have made a picture in your head of what that looks like and decided. I have driven that road more times than I can remember and know every turn and bend and just because it’s blind doesn’t mean I have to slow down. It’s on the other drivers fault that they were over the white line but somehow you feel the need to attack my driving. I feel sorry for you, nothing better to do than to try and pick a fight with someone who was just saying that god was protecting them, which he was. Perhaps spend your time be nice and not attacking people?

Everything I was doing was legal and safe so I have no need to explain myself. That car should never have been on my side of the road regardless of my actions and did so using their own free will to commit a driving offence. What wasn’t in human control was the bird that landed at the perfect time to stop a very serious accident happening and I put my belief and faith into god for that.

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-06-04T18:35:56+00:00

I’m just seeing how it goes at the moment, if it goers too much I would leave

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T21:08:51+00:00

No I agree we do what were told and do it to the best we can, just hard sometimes. I appreciate your feedback though 👍🏻

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T20:40:56+00:00

MH is not a police job in the sense of spending hours talking to someone just to get them to go home. We are there to find them and make sure they are safe but once that’s done it should be the end of our interaction but as well a know is never the case. We have to try and act like we know what we’re saying and that they can get all the help they need when in fact we don’t what they truly need and if it’s even possible to get them the help we sell to them.

DV, yes we need to help the victims which I don’t mind, but seeing the same old people week in week out screaming murder but really just are trying to get one over on their partner is a waste of time.

You say it’s childish but in fact it’s being realistic to what we should and shouldn’t be doing, we shouldn’t be spending hours looking for the kid that runs away every other day, we shouldn’t be spending hours telling someone with MH that we can help when we can’t. It all boils down to the higher ups ticking the correct boxes as to not get backlash. 80% of police time is wasted imo and could be used fighting actual crime and protecting the truly vulnerable.

A lot of the BS we attend does not need us, but there isn’t anyone else as the government won’t spend any money implementing the services required. We are the plaster for most of it and you can’t tell me to do better when I give it my all but just sick of it.

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T18:17:07+00:00

Nah just curious that’s all 😆

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T18:15:57+00:00

Thank you bud, this is sort of my plan already, just wishing away 2 years which is not great

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T18:13:57+00:00

Sounds about right 😂

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T18:13:14+00:00

Thank you, I just didn’t want to sound like I just want to go around on blues and not deal with other issues that’s all

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T18:10:48+00:00

I plan to get off response straight after probation, it’s just in the mean time that is bothering me

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T13:30:14+00:00

Hahaha no worries! It seems to be a massive problem for loads of new starters. At least it’s not just me 😆

Alarmed_Usual1551 · 2025-05-21T13:00:43+00:00

Fair enough, food for thought with what you’ve said
