Are we really living in a country that is seriously considering old oil platforms and ferries in the middle of the sea to house asylum seekers? The unworthiness and hierarchy of human life is clearly increasing - how very very sad

My message from today’s focus group. Police don’t hate change they just want information about why it’s happening / what it will achieve / what it means to them / their role in it and to be listened to about how it might impact on them..... good comms really!

The report stresses that officers are struggling to cope with workload and emotional trauma and needed support. A bespoke survey found burnout to be higher than among NHS staff during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The more I think about the ‘need for personal resilience narrative’ the more it makes be angry. When will organisations consider their responsibility in providing organisational resilience for their workforce 😬

I have an issue with her narrative. NOT just about police-if it doesn’t happen the ideology of austerity will be justified in a narrative of police failure despite ‘we gave you more resources’. These issues cannot just be solved by police numbers and unethical target setting 😤
Priti Patel has ordered the police to cut the number of murders, serious violence and neighbourhood crime within three years in return for the 20,000 extra officers they will receive

The M25 is a bloody death trap - at what point will we acknowledge that a potential 40% cut to roads policing is impacting on lives and families. Denying the impact of cuts to EVERY area of policing cannot be sustained. Robbing Peter to pay Paul just ain't working..

We have a curriculum - an apprenticeship. I see here officers struggling,not getting the right input/support +a lack of accountability. Teaching police is specialist,needs to involve practical application and blended learning+time for study. Let’s not set great people up 2 fail!

Quote of the day for me from a DI - ‘if it isn’t flavour of the day then there is no specialist squad’ - highlights the speed of changing priorities for officers across ranks and roles. How does this impact on a sense of job value and personal well-being / sense of competence?

The more I hear ‘austerity is over’ the more it makes me mad! The legacy of austerity won’t be ‘over’ forever for some and the policies instigated to make it happen continue to destroy many more. ‘Over’ it isn’t.

Why are we suggesting the police can singularly tackle and be responsible for the rise in violent crime. The structural inequalities in this country worsen every day - the ignorance of home policy over Brexit is unforgivable and other services are cut to shreds...come on please!
