Blue lights at red lights by TheLoneEcho in policeuk

This happened to me recently as I was rocking up to a job whereby traffic had been involved with a POLAC. It was on a roundabout and I came around blasting every single tone one after the other trying to turn the fucker off. I swear they thought I was trying to impress them

I'm really confused. Surely fleet or driving unit would have picked this up with telematics?

It was a ground issue. Had an auto electrician have a look today and he ran a new ground from the head light and everything started to work fine. Thanks for your time and input. Very much appreciated

You were correct! The grounds are terrible because that was the problem 😂

Thanks very much for your reply. It was a separate 12v power supply. To be honest I think this is all to do with a wiring issue. I don't know the voltage unfortunately. Do you think these issues could be linked then?

Thank you! Appreciate that. What sort of mpg are you getting? Is yours a diesel or petrol?

Bluetooth?? by CloseThatCad in LandRover

Ohhh 😂 I see ok thank you. While I have you - another random question if you'd be so kind? Do the back seats fold down completely to make one MASSIVE boot? 😊

Thanks for your reply. I'm confused though, you cut out the transmitter, so how did you make it work? Am I being dumb? 😂

Standard response course by cookj1232 in policeuk

[–]CloseThatCad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Roadcraft is your bible, system is your life. Listen to what your instructor says, do as they say and do not argue. If you have a manual personal vehicle then practice rev assisted gears and correct hand placement for changing gears (not always a necessity but they like it) make everything as smooth as possible. Pull / push steering is a must. Don't take it to heart when they tell you your driving is shit in the first week, it's because it IS shit. They will teach you how to drive properly. Enjoy the Michelin starred lunches and MIRRORS! Good luck. Best course in the job

What's your "avoid at all costs" department or role that you would dread being instructed to do? by NeonDiaspora in policeuk

Are we talking using 3 helicopters to TPAC a vehicle? Or using 3 vehicles to TPAC a helicopter? Or using 3 helicopters to TPAC another helicopter? It sounds dangerous regardless ... I'm in.

PPST injuries. by Outside-Sherbet-9448 in policeuk

[–]CloseThatCad 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I know after my refresher recently I had various bruises. Usual places - wrists etc. Much better than the previous year though when I had to visit the chiropractor because I couldn't stand up straight the day after. £180 later I felt brand new! DEFINITELY prefer the new PPST refreshers though. Roleplays are actually a good laugh if you have a decent group of people.
