@CFMBE @Bruce_Adamson Had a knife and a baseball bat brandished at me in the line of duty by teenagers, can confirm that a teenager with a weapon is just as deadly as an adult. Hard as it is to believe, we are also humans under the uniform who deserve to go home to our loved ones unharmed.

@delezenu @Scotp199 Having worked up there for almost a year I have to disagree mate, it’s rather busy and there’s very few officers available. I was regularly walking away with a few hundred every month in overtime up there.

Just watching Highland Cops on BBC Scotland, policeman from Fort William dealing with a problem . Class act need more people like that in our communities 😍😍😍

“Police Scotland warned ministers this would see officer numbers cut to between 15,100 and 15,200 by March 2026, down from the 16,207 total recorded at the end of June this year.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/2…

The state of Police Scotland’s finances has been laid bare, with forces in England and Wales now receiving capital funding that is 1.4 times higher. 1919magazine.co.uk/November2024/?…

Well that's a tricky nut to crack ... Since @PoliceScotland reduced the number of traffic officers, road related casualties went up and offence detections went down ... I'm damned if I can work out why ?? .. 😱😱 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Hi is it possible to get a mention for my childhood best mate Matt - Guardsman Matthew Talbot He sadly passed away in a terrible accident during anti poaching operations in Malawi back in 2019 at the age of 22. It would mean the absolute world to his parents Michelle and Steve and his 2 sisters (who I know are following this closely, I believe they've interacted on pretty much every image posted so far) to show that their beloved son is not forgotten and is remembered as a smiling fun young man who ever since he was a child wanted to join the army and was so proud serving until his last breath.

@sc1640184 @baseballscot @DaIeEvans

@baseballscot @DaIeEvans There is zero will from “Departments” to do anything to jeopardise their position. Frontline Cops should be paid more. Shift allowance is needed….

4.75%? Having submitted a pay claim for 5.7% back in May, the Staff Side consider this offer to be insufficient to recognise the role of police officers in society scottishpolicesupers.org/2024/10/30/pay…

A huge welcome to 38 new colleagues starting in Lanarkshire Division today. They will join our Community Policing teams this week. Thanks for coming forward to serve our community.

The uniform that @PoliceScotland provide those who don’t work shifts and at times don’t even work outdoors, but refuse response cops sighting ‘not entitled’, tells you everything you need to know about the Organisation, its priorities and the value it places on response policing.

@polisbhoy23557 @KiloPapaD11 @Wallacebot999 @rose3748 @MissGolfAlpha @PoliceScotland Having worked in rural snow gate area next to the sea, I can confirm that the winter kit is essential to surviving out there. Also firmly believe that said winter kit should just be rolled out to all

@ScotsCopper We’re nothing but numbers to them, never forget that and always keep in mind that the goodwill you provide the organisation is often easily forgotten.
