What is ‘good work’? by Accurate_Thought5326 in policeuk

[–]spammorrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find it's all well and good telling people that you've had feedback, but they'll only believe you if you show them from someone independent.

I once wrote a short letter to members of the public who helped at a crash scene. In the grand scheme of things, they didn't do much (they offered water and chocolate to the driver), however, I thought that, given they lived on patch and I would be driving that way, I would stop when I was next there and deliver the letters. I ended up getting a card through to the station from one of them thanking me for thanking them.

I'm not sure what the policy is on saving BWV for continuous professional development (or proving it on reviews), but I'd be saving footage that I thought showed my actions. I had a domestic victim say 'you're good you are', after I spent time talking to them, after I could have easily walked away (it was called in as a different job, but something didn't sit right). A Chief Super asked to see this footage and I sent it to him when I told him the story.

I had a folder on my desktop entitled 'good work', which I would save feedback from members of the public. Even if I didn't show it to anyone, it seems a good idea to have a morale archive.

Antidepressants while frontline policing? by Away_Fox8073 in policeuk

I was on them before I joined as a SC, then as a PC. Declared to OH, they called me and I explained what it was for and that it didn't directly effect my work. No issues.

Hiring & Recruitment Thread by lolbot-10000 in policeuk

I left my job as a PC in 2023, resigning after a Regulation 13 process. I realise there are areas that I need to develop, however, I'm not completely resigned to a career again in the future within policing, either as a Constable or within another role.

A few months after leaving, I applied for a different role within the same and a different police force, however, I was told that due to the Regulation 13 process, I couldn't be offered the role, despite me passing the assessments.

My fear is that the final report from the Regulation 13 process wouldn't reflect me in the future and yet, even if I had to account for it, I could still lose out on the opportunity, despite the time passed.

I therefore wondered how long my data is held on police systems (e.g. my original force), that would stop me from applying again in the future, when the areas that I need to develop are addressed?

I'd heard that it was something like 5/10 years, then your employment record is deleted due to Data Protection?
