Going Dark, both Social Media and MSM are wearing-thin at the moment, I’m going to delete the app for a month or so. Stay safe comrades 🫡

What is something you’re a food snob with? ie you’ll only have the branded version and no cheaper alternative? Crumpets for me. Has to Warburtons only.

@JonjayNeedham1 @mark74brown @SarahC2612 I’d say that’s a fair estimate

Latest police workforce figures are out…3,240 retirements from policing out of 9,098 leavers…but voluntary resignations come in at 5,058…39% more than retiree’s…that’s approx 58% of all leavers are VR’s in the last year @SarahC2612 #policeworkforce gov.uk/government/sta…

@h_flowerrr That is brilliant

@RobertJ67967288 @DameLynneOwens I predict a nationwide critical declaration within 18 months due to lack of numbers,

@DameLynneOwens Police critics need to ask themselves this. What if all the police officers left? What then?

Today I spent my rest day putting a CV together, I honestly never thought I’d be saying that #sadtimes

@LauraJudkins18 God bless the NHS 🙏 ❤️

@h_flowerrr 😔 I hope you’re okay

@samsparkes999 A terrible day for HertsPol, thank you for what you do 🙏

What a day!! Working with an amazing team of officers at a tragic scene #FLO

@WMPolice @Aspiring_PCSO Great team work, calmness and professionalism

#WATCH | This is the moment one of our hero officers helped rescue two women trapped under a car at a pub in West Bromwich. PC Glenn Brabham can be heard comforting the women as he and emergency service colleagues worked to free them. Full story 👉 ow.ly/J1tG50Sn9yL

….I’ve always wondered what happened to him, it’s been a decade since that episode aired, I’d love to know how he’s got on, and if he’s managed to come out of the other side

Im just rewatching episode 4 from series 1 of #24hoursinpolicecustody, (it’s the drug drop one), in it there’s a young man called Darren who is a drug user and shoplifter, but comes across as a very nice, very sweet young man that is fighting the demons of addiction……

@Morbidful BBC Radio 1 has been broadcasting dull monotonous sounds for around the same time

A radio station in Russia has been broadcasting a dull monotonous tone for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for the last three decades. Every few seconds it’s joined by a second sound, like a ghostly ship sounding its foghorn.

@IPledgeToThee What’s a Probie push through?

If policing is to ever sort itself out... Ban <5y promotions. Less probie "push throughs" Restrict needless OH referrals. Restore 'hood teams. Return of OCUs. Time limits (conduct) Protections: Uof / driving

In other news, water is wet

#BabyReindeer on @NetflixUK is the best series I’ve seen on TV this year

“…yeah, they’re having a bit of a wobble and will be off for a while…” Do all forces do this ? Are phrases like Wobble/Wibble and similar normalising MH breakdowns ?

I just saw on a Netflix crime documentary that in New York, you can be detained for 144 hours from arrest to a charging/bail decision, would you say that was better (for Policing) or worse
