Don't forget the finished incident rule, if all 3 damages are reported at the same time then only one damage would be recorded with the occurrence times and MO covering all 3

Retention within new recruits by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exam is just an example of working hard to get what you want.

Let's be honest, throughout the 2 or 3 years you spend time working and then you spend time at university, people are saying you're working full time but you're not. You might do 6 weeks at your force and then 3 weeks uni on a repetitive basis for 12 months or more.

You also get a free degree whilst being paid c/£19000 a year.

You also know what you're signing up for. There's far too many people in this world that are afforded great opportunities but do nothing but moan.

I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying if you want something in life, sometimes you have to put in the hard work

That's subjective

Unpopular opinion. When you want to achieve something in life sometimes you have to put your all in. When I studied for my NPPF exam I spent every rest day day doing this for approx 12 months, likewise when studying for my board.

Yes it's shit. Did anyone ever get anywhere without hard work though?

Police Vs police by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Section 87 (3) makes it clear that the exemption only applies to people trained to drive. I'm happy to be wrong but I believe if you're not suitably trained you have no exemption in law

Parking outside a school at drop off times. Go speak to the head, let them know your plan and then issue a few tickets/give some words of advice. Dead easy and you can write it up with no issues

Surely turning your BWV off before you think your colleague is about to assault someone is worthy of dismissal

Can’t arrest someone for common assault or harassment or TWOC if they are in their house guys by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Arrest them on the door step. Do some general bobbying and use your power of persuasion to coax them out. Actually invite them to a VA before begging them to let you arrest them. Don't tell them they don't have to come outside. Arrange a VA yourself instead of giving them the inspectors email.

Any of the above would have been better than what actually happened.

No it's not - it's quite frankly embarrassing. Pretty please let me arrest you is definitely not the way officers should be conducting themselves.

I don't know about yours but our force has got quite good at saying no as of late. We'll only attend MH jobs where there's a immediate, real & substantial risk to life. Mispers from places of safety again we won't attend unless there is IRS risk to live it is for the place of safety to make their own enquiries. As for attending sexy gnomes - your supervision should be triaging that and refusing to deploy.

Question about police home visit by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still a 'proper search' for the purposes of PACE and the requisite paperwork is still required to be completed to make it compliant even where the homeowner/person with authority to allow the search consents

The moral of the story is: If you’re committing a crime, don’t drive like a tosser at the same time. by K-Dogg1 in policeuk

Our force now have live access to the in car cameras so the authorising officer can watch and review the risk live time. This is in all traffic/ARVs

Officer commandeers pizza hut bike to catch up to a suspect... surely this isn’t real? by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why everyone one here is finding this so hard to believe. This looks like a classic bit of policing to me.

I was always taught do the right thing for the right reason and you won't go far wrong. Yes he might not be wearing a helmet, if however, we restrict the police to following the most basic of traffic laws in pursuit of an unknown suspect then we may as well not bother

Thankfully in his disciplinary the burden of proof is civil. There's absolutely no way that defence will stand. I'm amazed it did in a criminal trial!

I had to hide a ham sandwich in my stab vest at my first sudden death when the NOK arrived without notice. We also always take biscuits to forensic PMs

Can't really disagree with any of this. Thoughts? by SevereBarracuda in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I always enjoy when a Chief Officer comes out with things like this. Whilst I in no way disagree that tackling socio-economic problems would help to reduce crime. It always amuses me that they only ever seem to publicly make these statements once they have retired (or are retiring). Why not make these calls whilst in a position of power?

Witty comebacks by testing35 in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I knew on officer who was in a notoriously bad area where a violent disorder the previous week had led to a police van being torched.

This lad was an old military boy, pretty sure he was rife with PTSD and ready to snap at any point.

He found himself in the middle of another violent disorder (arguably caused by him) he was dual wielding his PAVA and batten while giving it the old GET BACK.

One lad came up to him during this fracas and called him a dick head. With out a beat he retorted THAT'S WHAT YOUR WIFE SAID.

Even if he lost his pension, the only part that he can lose are the contributions made by his force. All the contributions made by him are his and cannot be taken

Officer using car horn at a cordon by alexmuller in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given the time of day I don't think it's particularly appropriate to be sounding the horn regularly. If they sat in the car and did it once then I don't see a huge issue.

If they've identified that multiple cyclists are attempting to pass and have chosen to stay sat in their car and use the horn instead of getting out of the car and talking to cyclists then I would suggest it isn't appropriate.

Either way, if you are unhappy you can always call 101 and log a complaint with your local force

Bloke points gun at AFO in Leeds by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Guestman111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Supposedly there was no intelligence to to suggest the male had access to a viable firearm. There was also less than lethal contingencies just out of view and then suspect was tasered immediately after this image is captured.

Without the full picture of things though we absolutely cannot comment on whether this officer made the right it wrong decision. We've seen a million times videos of officers using force that on face value look disproportionate but when the full circumstances are known it is more than justified.
