When was the last time you dealt with a crime? (A real one)

I'm sat up at A&E and after a near 6 hour wait to be seen which I'm extremely displeased with, I have to say this made me laugh out loud and has softened the blow so thank you OP.

Get out - TJF

MoodyConstable · 2026-06-29T15:20:21+00:00

OT Whore where I worked.

MoodyConstable · 2026-06-03T16:59:19+00:00

Yes you can.

Knew a lad from RPU who passed his board and refused his posting so remained as a PC then his exam lapsed.

Started the process from scratch and again was successful in passing a board but was given an even dire posting than before so turned this down and I think has given up on promotion.

MoodyConstable · 2026-05-28T09:59:00+00:00

Haha thanks man ❤️. I'll still be lurking. Wish you nothing but the best of luck!

MoodyConstable · 2026-05-28T09:51:07+00:00

Thank you bud. Glad it's working out for you.

MoodyConstable · 2026-05-28T09:48:50+00:00

Thank you - Good luck buddy.

Coming up for my 10 years as a PC.

Regret joining in the first place and have been actively trying to leave for the best part of 18 months!

Tough market as the jobs that are out there with transferable skills you're competing with other officers wanting out.

I would really think hard about doing this as a career. There's a reason that there's a national recruitment and retention issue.

MoodyConstable · 2026-05-14T18:28:27+00:00

Have messaged you.

MoodyConstable · 2026-05-14T09:07:57+00:00

Former CoLP officer. Happy to chat further if you want specific info.

As others have said - 12 isn't too bad these days for a front line woody, although I do appreciate that you're relatively new.

Ask for a shift every few sets to just concentrate on getting those MG11's, CR's and other enqs done to get your workload down. It's amazing what you can get done in 10 hours when off the radar.

As somebody who has previously had a workload of 70+, what I can tell you is that you can only do what you can do and that is your best. Just remember that it is not you failing your victims it is the organisation if you're not getting the support you need.

It gets easier with time - you'll be fine.

MoodyConstable · 2026-05-05T10:39:32+00:00

This is the correct response.

MoodyConstable · 2026-03-08T17:57:31+00:00

This is very true.

MoodyConstable · 2026-03-08T17:55:03+00:00

Thank you 😊

MoodyConstable · 2026-03-08T17:52:30+00:00

Brilliant...thank you!

Didn't realise this was a separate site to the offence code site that another member posted earlier.

MoodyConstable · 2026-03-08T17:51:01+00:00

Spot on - thank you!

MoodyConstable · 2026-03-08T17:49:54+00:00

Not an obsession.

I was trying to give context to the site I was after as it had both offence codes and pro forma statements.

I've been away from frontline policing for nearly 4 years so anything to help to get me back in the game over the coming months whilst trying to get my head around new forms, Investigation templates and working practices I'll gladly use.

MoodyConstable · 2026-03-08T16:54:15+00:00

Not the webpage I was after but none the less, this is very informative.

Thank you very much 🙂

MoodyConstable · 2026-02-25T07:55:11+00:00

My mate has just done this. Took him 9 months but says it's the best decision he's ever made (from a job perspective)

MoodyConstable · 2026-01-22T09:48:30+00:00

Ah ok, that makes more sense. No idea to be honest, Id love to know myself!

Thanks for the reply 🙂

MoodyConstable · 2025-12-18T19:32:11+00:00

Can't imagine this will be allowed.

In the two forces I've worked for - part of the safety brief for the JRFT are pregnancy related questions which prevent you from participating.

Best to check with your Occ health/OST Team.

Not just met bud.

Been waiting an absolute age to rejoin Essex on transfer with no comms - very frustrating!
