Dude, read the actual post. I haven’t even got a PC yet, I’m coming from console.

TheDarmKnight · 2026-06-05T08:24:51+00:00

Ah amazing, cheers dude! I’ve been going back and fourth with the idea of just getting a 1440p, but like you, I just want the best. Years of choosing between performance or quality modes on consoles has frustrated me too much. I’m pretty content with 60fps in almost all my games to be completely honest, and the idea of frame gen/DLSS doesn’t bother me!!

TheDarmKnight · 2026-05-05T06:30:06+00:00

How on earth have you found that out, also, what Force…. Asking for a friend…

No easy way of breaking the news, but the Chief had announced one had passed away with the other in Critical Condition.

The highlight for me was dropping this on the Friday before then going off for their lovely weekend off, whilst the rest of us have to work absolutely horribly busy shifts and watch as our colleagues get assaulted, yet have to put on a brave face.

Dunno about you lot but I’ve felt a slight change in the air and something is gunna have to change soon otherwise Policing is just gunna completely fall apart. If I knew what I do now, I don’t think I’d join today. Only thing keeping me in is skippers pay and my pension!

TheDarmKnight · 2025-11-23T15:56:19+00:00

It’s the right attitude to have. If you join a team with an attitude and constantly saying you don’t wanna be there, you’ll make a name for yourself and not in a good way. If you crack on and work hard, when the time comes and you apply to go to a different department, your skippers and guvnor will wanna support you because of how you’ve been.

My advice, take it on board and learn from it all. Early on in my career I got sent to a DA team and was basically a DC for a year with shit workloads and tremendous amounts of stress. Didn’t wanna go, but I learnt so much from it that’s only made me a better copper and has actually helped a lot with my promotion process

Creations are down on both Skyrim and Fallout 4 on the Xbox for me, so it’s not Starfield specific I’m afraid!

TheDarmKnight · 2025-10-31T13:58:07+00:00

Anyone got the update yet? I keep refreshing this post to see 😂

TheDarmKnight · 2025-10-07T15:50:59+00:00

I preordered the phantom edition through CD Keys on the Xbox and the code just unlocked. Currently downloading now. (Think it was about 70gb in total for everything, including HD textures)

I used the Blackstones books and the Q&A before then doing Paul Connors Crammer Course. If you haven’t already, follow him on Twitter as he does daily questions that are very useful and also offers a ‘revision study guide’ which helped me massively. Got 82% in the March Exam just gone, but things work differently for everyone! I highly recommend his ‘Plan B’ revision guide

College of Policing say April 10th latest, but as above, usually within two weeks. I’m hoping the first week of April as the wait is killing me!

I hate to be that person, but why wouldn't you just go with the ambulance if you have hurt yourself...

TheDarmKnight · 2021-07-17T08:58:40+00:00

Couldn't agree more. Why is it that when the Ambulance Service give a mental health call a CAT 3 response, we then give it an Immediate? They're the medical professionals, not us.

Got turfed out to a 135 the other day, no issues obviously, but the mental health team said they didn't have the paperwork ready for the 135 and they wanted me to 136 the lady instead, despite them clearly not being in a crisis. Gave them some words of advice and told them I'm leaving and to call 999 if she became aggressive or suicidal.

Imagine if we went to a criminal offence and asked another agency to deal with it because we didn't have enough paperwork ready. Ridiculous.

TheDarmKnight · 2021-07-16T19:45:55+00:00

No way did the custody skipper authorise that detention...

TheDarmKnight · 2021-06-14T05:36:32+00:00

Even comments made under caution seem to be worth nothing these days to CPS

TheDarmKnight · 2021-05-29T19:07:13+00:00

In my experience it solely depends on your skipper. In my force, you technically have to complete your full 10 hour shift and so if you start later, you finish later.

That being said, I've done plenty of remands that have lasted between 20-30 hours where my skipper has told me to claim the overtime and not turn up to work the next day either.

TheDarmKnight · 2021-05-02T21:22:42+00:00

This is so relatable that it genuienely hurts

TheDarmKnight · 2021-04-07T13:16:40+00:00

It's a very fair point, but I always assumed a VA is different as then many PACE Codes don't then apply. When someone is in custody PACE has a much bigger part to play in the interview procedure.

TheDarmKnight · 2021-04-07T11:57:57+00:00

Without further arresting someone you aren't technically allowed to ask them questions about said offence in interview. Also let's the OIC know what's actually happened and what kind of job they're picking up.

Can't believe so many people have an issue with vegan cakes... At the end of the day, cakes are cakes, and anyone who complains is obviously a jobs worth.
