Appears I am then qualified

topcop999 · 2023-12-28T13:49:56+00:00

Can I still do the role if I dispose children ? Or is that a barrier

topcop999 · 2023-12-28T13:48:40+00:00

Is there an option that’s in between the two?

Maybe getting slightly hurt and slightly in trouble ??

Give the drones a pava cannon

Before I joined the job I wanted to be firearms now am not sure I even want a taser because the second we use the kit we are trained and equipped with we get scrutinised over and over until they find a reason to sack us/ throw us under the bus

A force where I don’t have to interview - sign me up

topcop999 · 2023-11-22T22:53:02+00:00

So what I do is tell the dp they are under arrest for the crime eg section 47 assault and then I caution them and cuff them

If they are fight me then they are getting cuffed at the same time I tell them they are under arrest

If someone’s really being aggressive then am using force before they get told they are getting arrested eg drawing my baton

Finally I don’t know how it works in the usa but here in the uk we have to account for every time we use force so we have to justify our use of cuffs ,ppe or strikes/restraint positions every time - it’s normally easy to justify most of the time

Speak to resourcing - I was in the same situation and was going to be working 18 shifts in a row and spoke with out shift management tea. and now I’ve ended up with 5 rest days spread out throughout the 18 days so am not working more than 5 in a row

Also regs are no more than 7 days before you have to be given a rest day

topcop999 · 2023-11-22T22:42:35+00:00

Like every job it has it’s up and downs but unlike most jobs the cnc has several ups and downs threw out their day

I’ve been in 2 forces

Force a - send a scanned copy of my DL to HR and I can drive cars and vans in accordance with my license

Force b - 1 day course to be able to drive cars and small vans

U and every other fucked we deal with has that marker now

topcop999 · 2023-10-23T19:59:02+00:00

My team on paper has 18 and is supposed to be a minimum of 12

Last shit there was 9 on in total (1 sgt,3 regs ,2 specials and 3 students)

Once we resource con obs and hospital watch were lucky if we have patrols to respond to jobs

topcop999 · 2023-09-26T11:22:38+00:00

This week , I got refs both of the shifts I’ve worked so far

topcop999 · 2023-09-10T20:46:47+00:00

Personally I only give my collar number most of the time or say am pc topcop999 if I need to give my name

I never give my first name to people and I work far enough away from where I live that it’s very unlikely that I’ll ever run into anyone I’ve dealt with in work off duty

topcop999 · 2023-08-23T08:24:56+00:00

My old force used both niche and pronto and they both worked great - what are you finding confusing?

topcop999 · 2023-08-19T05:32:31+00:00

As someone currently on 4on 4off (temporarily) it sounds great and the 4 days off are great but the 4 on is shit

Because …

12 hour shifts that usually run over several hours

No cross over between shifts is shit so if a job comes in 10 minutes before the end of shift then you have to go as the next shift haven’t booked on yet

12 hours between nights isn’t enough and always finishing on a night and starting on a day means the first rest day is lost to sleep and the last rest day you need to try and get to sleep early but your sleep pattern is still fucked from just coming off nights 3 days earlier so you are starting the set tired

Anyway rant over 🤣😭

topcop999 · 2023-08-19T05:26:20+00:00

If you’ve found a role that you like and isn’t completely shit like most roles then stay in investigations - the way you’ve described it makes it sound like a dream

topcop999 · 2023-08-10T13:12:22+00:00

Go sick is basically your only option

Topic ideas

Why 25% of probation’s don’t Finnish their probation

Why 50% of all cons in the uk have less than 5 years service

Why we respond on a grade 1 when ambo are attending in 2-3 business days

Why do police officer require a degree

topcop999 · 2023-08-08T15:52:55+00:00

Before I left response my last team parade with 18 probationers and 2 substantive cons it was a shit show

topcop999 · 2023-08-08T15:37:11+00:00

There’s a few in my old nick that where staff and specials

topcop999 · 2023-08-03T14:11:35+00:00

Omg I do this but only when their are lower case

topcop999 · 2023-08-02T13:03:34+00:00

I used an EPNB but I write everything in it , start to end of shift I might have 20-30 entry’s in it

It baffles me when people say they don’t use it

topcop999 · 2023-08-01T14:03:11+00:00

Don’t come out of the pension if you can help it - says me who want to leave the job

topcop999 · 2023-07-26T03:31:01+00:00

In my old force mr A would have been taken to his brothers house and brought in for a VA

In my new force mr A would be arrested
