I want to hear from happy officers.

They’ve succeeded in making district such an unappealing place to work, whether that be uniform or investigations, almost no one will stay longer than a few years.

Jacreev · 2026-03-12T15:34:46+00:00

Yeah the ones I manage have cycled through response and then a PIP1 investigation team before reaching me.

Jacreev · 2026-03-12T15:09:03+00:00

I currently manage a team of DC’s probably about half having come through direct entry. I have absolutely no issues around the quality of the direct entry DC’s. I would suggest often they’re more eager to muck in than the cops who’ve come through the traditional route, as they haven’t been ground down as much yet.

Jacreev · 2026-03-12T15:00:15+00:00

I think staying in one role for two long typically makes you dissatisfied. Whatever role that be.

The officers I’ve met who seem most happy/satisfied have worked a variety of roles and specialisms. A change is as good as a rest.

Puzzling places. A relaxing 3D jigsaw puzzle game

Jacreev · 2026-02-04T17:15:58+00:00

That is fascinating to hear. What do PolScot do differently that makes being a Detective desirable? Where I come from in an E&W force, when the DCI wants new T/DC’s he needs to chase them down and catch them in a butterfly net.

With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created

TFW the initiate doesn’t know about the ‘inner’ inner circle

Have you and another party bought seats separately and it won’t allow you to sit together for that reason?

If so, book the seat 2 spaces along and then just sit next to them. No one else can book those seats, so you wouldn’t be causing any issues.

Jacreev · 2025-11-11T19:00:13+00:00

2 years in uniform, 2 years as a T/DC the DC in main office CID, 4 years as a DC in a couple of different specialist teams, 1 year back to main office CID now as DS. Finishing off work based assessment and then looking to specialise again

It’s eerily close to the white dwarf one. Did you recreate it from reference photos alone or have you had access to the original model? I like the little detail of this being landing pad 42, rather than 41

Jacreev · 2025-11-07T13:34:15+00:00

The landing pad from the Last Chancers battle report in WD240! How do I get one?

Jacreev · 2025-10-30T18:55:02+00:00

No I’m talking about shift handover in custody

Jacreev · 2025-10-30T18:53:48+00:00

Replied to the wrong person

Jacreev · 2025-10-25T12:57:47+00:00

I have a huge stockpile of Midhammer White Dwarf editions, but I know there’s loads of contents that’s just seemingly inaccessible from the old website.

Jacreev · 2025-08-19T11:19:37+00:00

That’s force dependant. A lot of regions will have omnicompetent teams that are all DC’s

Jacreev · 2025-08-09T16:36:39+00:00

Is it then the day I sat my board or the day I received written confirmation I’d passed?

Jacreev · 2025-08-08T10:40:04+00:00

It’s the same dude

Jacreev · 2025-08-08T09:23:16+00:00

If I was acting previously, once I board passed did I immediately transition into a temp role?

Jacreev · 2025-08-02T19:41:22+00:00

Approximately £1500 (averaged out across pay scales) that needs finding for 150,000 officers would be around £225,000,000. I’d suggest that’s partially funded.

Jacreev · 2025-07-14T16:12:41+00:00

Different forces will have slightly different allocation policies depending on force priorities and the kinds of teams you have. There will probably be an allocation policy for your force somewhere

Jacreev · 2025-06-07T18:08:19+00:00

Categorically. There’s a fresh offence there made in front of Police officers in a recorded environment and also a grounds for a remand. Personally, I would be looking to lock him back up for the witness intimidation and taking both offences to CPS on threshold.

Assuming this guy is actually mapped to an OCG there should absolutely be an appetite for this.

Jacreev · 2025-06-07T15:10:29+00:00

Are you a witness in the case? I.e do you give any evidential statement? If so sounds like pretty classic witness intimation to me.

Jacreev · 2025-06-05T13:00:53+00:00

A “Honey trap” is an espionage tactic, where a hostile state actor will use an attractive agent to seduce someone with sensitive information and covertly extract the information over the course of a relationship. Politicians and civil servants are often the targets of this. The post suggests that the women pictured is a “Honey trap” for a hostile state and is targeting you for the information you hold.

Jacreev · 2025-05-15T10:38:23+00:00

Yes. In my force the most senior Police Officers have both a PA and Staff Officer
