I don’t like to comment or pass judgment on ongoing issues, however after reading the summary for the misconduct hearing I’m disappointed once again. I never thought I’d buy into the “stop being proactive” but I’m genuinely done! I have to look after myself and my family.
I know Johnny.
He’s one of the most kind & genuine people I’ve met in Policing. 😞
I know everyone who knows him feels exactly the same way.
He is dependable, true, & was a very good Cop.
You can choose to support them & their families.
Thank you. 🚨

As a regular I dismissed the reserves, thought how could a bunch of part timers do the job as well as us. I have come to realise the amazing commitment and skill set they bring to the Army. I work with Lawyers, paramedics, cops builders, all bring something unique.

No officer would ever expect you to get involved, however I was getting thrown around in the back of an ambulance by one of the strongest people I have ever met and a tiny female paramedic jumped on his back giving me control back and I still speak about her today. Be that story!
A question for police officers.
When ye are having a scuffle on the floor with our pt, be that due to assault or Section 136 or some other reason
Do ye want us ambos to get down and give ye a hand or do we just get in the way?

It may be bias as squaddie and a cop, however someone who stands up for something that isn’t the popular opinion because it’s the right thing to do gets a green flag from me.
I know this will make me even more unpopular, and no-one can gloss over the difficulties in the Police Service at the moment. But it’s childish to tar them all with the same brush. We are incredibly lucky with the vast majority of UK Police who risk personal danger every day.

There is this massive misconception that police “can’t be bothered” to attend these calls. Sadly the reality is, when there are outstanding stabbings/domesticGBH/SexualAssaults, the non violent shoplifter sits and the bottom of our priority’s.
Should the public tackle shoplifters?
Policing Minister, Chris Philp, is urging members of the public to help tackle the epidemic of shoplifting by making citizen arrests.
