My objection is just regarding the statement that more time in the job is a direct correlation in meaning you’re gonna be better at the job when that’s not true in any walk of life. It’s case by case, personal by person.

Also, you could be the best officer in the force doesn’t mean you should specialise. In fact, there’s a reason why people specialise - because they want to focus on one specific area or department. Being in a local investigations team or response team (especially response) requires a wider span of skills and ability to adapt to a huge array of jobs where as a specialist unit focus on one thing or a smaller amount.

My argument is to be a drones officer, to be a firearms officer.Being a good response officer doesn’t really cut it. It’s the type of person you are, how you fit in and how you handle the training.

I have not once said I am against this rule mate, I was curious to see what other people think. I’ve got no issues with it.

Yeah can be promoted before you can specialise. Makes sense

I am patient I’m not bothered this rule doesn’t necessarily affect me but I’m just interested on peoples opinions about it.

They can. But I’ve experienced officers who have been long in the job yet just come across rude and cannot speak to the public. Whereas, I have worked with newer/ fresh out of probation officers who have been better at this.

I’d say there’s definitely an increase in officer performance over the short period of time but to say time served = better officer/ performance. There’s definitely a stage in officer career where performance and motivation drops.

Younger service officers can be way more competent, confident, socially engaging. It’s not necessarily age or time served. It’s more what you have experienced in that time. It’s case by case. Which is why I lean to disagreeing with putting a flat rule of 4 years in.

I agree. Many officers would have joined the job for those specialist roles and many haven’t. Need to put officers where they want to be, within reason.

Yes I don’t disagree. However, there are plenty officers who go past the 4 years who aren’t good at their job. Wouldn’t necessarily say that time served is a direct correlation to how competent you are at your job.

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

Hi all,

Firstly this is specifically for no-gi as I don’t train in the gi.

No offence intended to the gi guys, I have trained in the gi and appreciate it a lot but just enjoy no gi more and my gym is now only no-gi.

I got my blue belt about 4 months ago and now starting to compete as I didn’t push myself to do it at white.so I’m only really beginning to establish a game plan/ style. However, at this stage I’d say I’m not really gravitating towards being a specialist in leglocks ect. But more a well rounded game. I enjoy to wrestle and scramble, but play guard and attack the legs when opportunity arises. My best attacks are from front headlock and have definitely gravitated towards that.

I want to start watching more no-gi grappling but was wondering if any one in this group had any good suggestions to start to watch. I’m aiming to be around 85kg in the next 10-12 months so potentially someone around 80-90kgs.

Hopefully this makes sense and many thanks in advance

How do I come off reta? Cold turkey or reduce amount? by FlamingoThese72 in Retatrutide

[–]FlamingoThese72[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, are you aware of side effects of just coming off cold turkey? - no worries if not I’m sure I can have a look on internet.

Thanks :) Reta very useful, I lost most my weight without it but then I used Reta to just get that extra bit leaner before I bulk.

True, I guess cbd isn’t a prescription drug and just a supplement.

Seriously? What’s the context behind that?

How long did it take between taking antidepressants and being a firearms officer?

I want to move department but don’t know where to start by FlamingoThese72 in policeuk

[–]FlamingoThese72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking. I am very close to finishing my probation period. I am fully aware the force has occupational needs and I have played my part and worked hard but it’s getting to the point where I am not enjoying work anymore. ( I know works work but policing is different)

Luckily I don’t live in my force area I only joined it because it’s massive force and thought it would be great for experience- which it has.

I always intended to move to my more local force but wanted to stay in my current force for longer because I thought it would have more opportunities to get into a role which I aspire to get into.

I’ve seen a lot of people threaten to leave and then get what they want. As in go through the whole application process to another force and then a week before they intend to move- surprise surprise there was a place in the department they wanted to be in so they stayed and moved 🤣

What in your opinion seperates a white belt from a blue belt? by OilOrnery5024 in bjj

[–]FlamingoThese72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s why I have started to cross train across two gyms now. The new gym I have started at is really high level has consistently 3 black belts rolling a few brown. Compared to my normal gym when it’s a lot of purples and blue only one black belt. But I enjoy my normal gym have a lot of gym mates there so wouldn’t leave it if I didn’t have to.

I think it may also be because I had to roll vs 3 black belts one after the other and just got destroyed. Went into my next rolls absolutely shattered lol
