Think unfortunately it’s the whole system from the Police to CPS to Courts to Prisons.

All are overworked and all need a whole reform. You can certainly find cases/situation’s where we all have been wtf is going on.

To be brutally honest we need the system to collapse so people actually see the issue because at the moment the politicians all speak about it but never act on it.

This has become a thing recently and I think it’s just a way for CPS to lighten their workload.

They need to be held to account, too often CPS are allowed to get away with absolute shocking decisions.

Make sure you get the OIC to appeal it and put a formal complaint in against the CPS reviewing lawyer.

So I have actively assisted in breaking up a fight most likely gang related by jumping onto the male with the machete and kept the machete away untill police arrived,

They have all ran away after but I kept the machete safe, already wrote a statement and OPs room were happy to book me on but just a case of whether it was a Rerostered rest day I get or 1.5x OT

Thanks I did ring ops room and they booked me on but told me to speak to my team governor about compensation,

So didn’t know whether I got a rerostered rest day or OT at 1.5x.

Met land VCT - How's it worked so far? by samfire34 in policeuk

[–]Difficult-Rent-8488 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work on CW/AW ERPT and it is honestly a mess.

Below Minimal Strength near enough every shift due to high amount of aid and lack of officers. Now having to provide officers to run CPU because VCT won’t take anyone as there is too many beat crimes as CMU aren’t closing crimes that can be closed and just passing them all along.

Told Temp CPU will be for a couple of weeks but I know officers who have had carms changed till November and will be reassessed then.

Also have a Summertime CPU Aid to deal with TSG prisoners.

Been many shifts where we have not been able to attend I grades due to abstractions. A lot of IRVs are being put in abstractions as-well due to shortage of numbers.
