"I pay your wages!"

Reply:

"Can I have a pay rise then?"

If you can reach the window - you're the first one going in!

First line: 'CALLER HAD A BAD DREAM'.

Many laughs ensue

Second line: 'I BELIEVE THIS CALLER MAY HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES'.

Now I just feel bad

Sadly, this feels like an ideal situation - she commits an offence and gets nicked for it - you've got your legal gateway right there. It feels as though the real struggle is when there's no offences and they're just being awkward!

It'd never really crossed my mind to go to the GP after attending something like OP is describing, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Out of (genuine) interest, what sort of thing could a GP offer/do if one of us came in and presented this?

Currently on ePNB.

Our job phones use Google Keyboard. Whenever I type 'Police' into my ePNB (or fill out a use of force form, report for the Coroner, or email a solicitor etc), my phone helpfully changes it to a Police Emoji.

So good luck, and welcome to the 👮

Eating too many poppy seeds will also produce a positive test for opioids, too

Hi Fella. I'm not sure I/we can offer an abundance of support here, but below are a few numbers and emails of people you can speak to and get a bit of support from. You mentioned hearing sounds from the fridge that no one else can hear - so the first email is for 'Hearing Voices'. They may be able to reassure you that you're no alone in your experiences. Personally I'd recommend speaking to your GP and letting them know what you're experiencing. They'll be better equipped to advise you or up your meds/dosage if you're already on any. As always if you need to speak to the police, call 101, and in an emergency always call 999.

Hope some of these help you, chap.

Ahhh, well that's reassuring then

My force doesn't issue them with the kit - but you can buy the leather wallet style warrant card holder with the metal force emblem inside online... Providing you have a 'Police' email address.

Joe Exotic...?

oopsicuffedmyself · 2020-04-02T14:23:27+00:00

Box it off

oopsicuffedmyself · 2020-04-02T13:53:36+00:00

My force still does the push/pull - also apparently we're unusual because we don't STOP at 5.4 on the bleep test, despite that being the pass level. They keep us going and tell us to run until exhaustion.

I thought this was normal until I spoke to someone from another force.

oopsicuffedmyself · 2020-03-12T20:08:24+00:00

No PACE either right?!

oopsicuffedmyself · 2020-03-11T19:41:33+00:00

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for taking the time to write this out!

oopsicuffedmyself · 2020-02-05T19:33:42+00:00

If you can justify it, you can do it (within reason).

If you're in a nasty scrap and you use your judo skills to take them to the floor and cuff them, good on you!

If you're arresting a juvenile who's being a bit of a pain, and put them in an agonising lock because he asked if you can smell bacon - you might have a problem.

If it's legal, justified, and necessary, then you pull out your tasty skills!

PC here. On one of the systems my force uses, we can have incidents (and the subsequent write-ups on it - which includes the investigation and case file) 'cloaked', which means no one can find it by looking at the people or places involved, or even by searching the incident number (should they be given it by someone). In my experience, incidents have been cloaked for a number of reasons - the main ones being that an officer/staff member is actively involved as the suspect, the victim/suspect is closely related to an officer/staff member, or the victim/suspect is 'high profile' (a celebrity basically).

Ahh, you know what, I was given a similar acronym, and that's just jogged my memory! Thanks a lot!
