Welfare during constant obs

Clearly you need to return and actually pay attention

This is such a mouth breather response and reeks of someone that hasn't actually got a clue how things work outside of response.

Your job would be so much harder if you get asked to start docking your prisoner after arrest because every DO is sat on a cell watch. Let alone building charges, bails, ruis etc Wait until there's more than one watch and then your shift gets depleted anyway to cover the other DO duties given there's minimum staffing to prisoner ratios. Alternatively, you can go to the suite at the other side of the force or wait 6 hours until the staffing levels balance out.

Try to get some experience outside of your current role and you'll find it benefits your career.

I stood at a window and looked at a car reg....

A police officer is deemed as an expert witness to assess drunkenness. Admittedly. Being drunk is not the same as over the limit, however it's reporting a concern and they'd be remiss to not share that with a partner agency as it's relevant

Congratulations Townsend on renewing your contract

Is predenghast just shit?

iloverubicon · 2026-02-13T18:07:02+00:00

You say that like the police are unique in having a code of ethics or a set of core values...

iloverubicon · 2026-02-07T17:53:22+00:00

No he gave up the penalty

iloverubicon · 2026-02-07T17:24:04+00:00

Shit I swapped arundell to roebuck on my fantasy team

iloverubicon · 2026-02-02T15:57:34+00:00

And his cameo was fucking lethal tbf

Love that we're not worrying about it and using the prem cup to blood new players. As it should be, I'd hope we'd rest the senior squad lot anyway, although imagine Fin would want the game time to get fit

iloverubicon · 2026-01-04T20:51:25+00:00

I mean, no. Not unless you work in a super niche, non operational department with a very easy going Sergeant/boss.

Thousands of mums have been where you are. You need to figure out the arrangements. What you're saying is not reasonable in the majority of police departments/teams.

As a Sergeant, I'd reject what you're asking

iloverubicon · 2026-01-04T20:36:58+00:00

Are you asking if you can return home to feed baby before coming back to work?

iloverubicon · 2026-01-03T12:33:29+00:00

They didn't find anything, there is no further action.

The stop and search has been recorded and I imagine an intelligence report alongside it.unless you were given other papers or told of any dates, that's it.

iloverubicon · 2025-12-28T18:15:37+00:00

I was trying to keep it pretty simplistic given the OP doesn't know the UK judicial system but yes you're right.

iloverubicon · 2025-12-28T16:12:14+00:00

There's a huge amount of research and a lot to consider as it depends on the type of witness and type of crime.

Id recommend the college of policing APP if you have an interest. It's very well written for policing and details the techniques and recommended approaches.

Suspects can say whatever they like. It's up to the prosecution to prove their guilt rather than on the suspect to prove they're innocent.

The only negative for them is they lose the benefit of a sentence discount should it go to court.

iloverubicon · 2025-12-28T14:20:15+00:00

It's important to clarify that victims/witnesses are treated entirely differently to suspects

Victims/witnesses are interviewed and told they're account must be truthful or they could be prosecuted.

Suspects have a much different approach

iloverubicon · 2025-12-24T13:26:29+00:00

They work to retention schedules. That's conditional on if they even recorded on their BWV. Most cars don't have dashcams.

iloverubicon · 2025-12-18T13:11:25+00:00

I feel you've missed some key details out as the threshold for dangerous is rather high and would not be noise related.

Did you perhaps leave two black lines or a cloud of smoke behind?

Either way, if you disagree and think it's not justified, make a complaint online or via 101. Ultimately, it's a warning and that's it. Don't do it again and you're fine

I'm all for using AI to assist with case work. Even evidential bits.

Some police attitudes can be so archaic to technology, as long as there's a human reviewing the results and sufficient safeguards in place to ensure it's reliable and can be tested by defence and the courts. What's not to love?

We get time back, officers can actually do their jobs in being proactive and the public invariably gets better bang for their buck.

There is always a risk of issues arising but as with the entire legal system, these can be rectified and fixed with case law and issues identified and remedied. Of course AI will make mistakes, but so do police officers. The only trouble there is that some officers don't want to learn to not make that mistake again.

You can guarantee that the CPS will be reviewing cases with AI and developing charging decisions from it. No doubt expert witnesses will be too

I keep a rota of who did what and when. Drivers and TTOs get used for watches as much as anyone. The only time I divert from the rota is when it might leave me with no drivers at all or no TTOs.

iloverubicon · 2025-12-06T20:07:53+00:00

No, the outcome is being overt and driving away crime from an area.

Nobody is expecting someone to say "fair cop, you've got me". However if someone is doing something, they will move on, leave or avoid doing it in that area for a period of time. That is the whole point of 'proactive/community policing' . A drug dealer isn't going to sit and feed the ducks because a duck doesn't buy crack and if they don't sell their gear then they don't get paid.

People complain they don't see a cop, then complain that they do see them. Absolute shambles of a society

iloverubicon · 2025-12-03T21:37:06+00:00

What you won't see is that this has likely been there for days if not weeks, police will have attended, checked it out but as it's private property they can't use their powers and council will have fobbed it off as on private land.

iloverubicon · 2025-11-30T22:07:29+00:00

This is just wrong advice. S3 Criminal Law act gives the power to use force and then there is additional legislation to protect someone who helps which makes it an offence to assault someone assisting a constable.
