If you’re responsible for the operation and running of public accessible locations or venues have a read of this short 3 min article on need for #ZeroResponder #BleedControlKit as part of a #ProtectDuty @FigenMurray @EURO2020 @cop26 @GlasgowCC @west_response @ZeroResponder

@west_response If the police avoid or don’t communicate with the media and answer questions then they will provide their own answers. This ‘subjudice’ standard comment is a smokescreen for laziness. I notice sub judice doesnt stop certain lawyers releasing video and comment

I wrote this article in remembrance of PC Lewis Fulton EOW 17.6.94. I fear it’s only a matter of time before we lose another officer due to removal of vital PPE & failures to follow procedures by @PoliceScotland @CFMBE @ScotsPolFed @west_response

@wearethentia @Carlybag @KatyPorter22 @WeAreTheLoopUK @SubClub Some good ideas from around the UK on how to ensure our night time venues and people are supported. We need more ‘Doers’

Just back from the NTIA Scotland event in Glasgow, discussing our Manifesto with the amazing Philip Kolvin KC, @Carlybag & @KatyPorter22 from @WeAreTheLoopUK alongside Mike Grieve @SubClub our NTIA Scotland Chair!! Huge Thank you to Mutley and the SWG3 team for putting this all together!!

@ScotsPolFed Maybe its for the full-time fed reps to stand up, speak out and actually support their members. Like the train drivers' union

David Kennedy, General Secretary: “We have police officers leaving to be train drivers, which says it all. We are continually covering for other emergency services because we are the catch-all and we can’t say no.” thetimes.co.uk/article/police…

@ScotsPolFed We agree Courts have part to play however Federation should be be more vocal and demanding of @PoliceScotland executive who are failing to ensure front line officers have appropriate back up and equipment at violent incidents.

David Kennedy, SPF general secretary: “In other countries, if you assault a police officer, that’s you, you’re locked up”. There has to be more of a deterrent in Scotland with regards to sentencing. 18 officers are assaulted every day 1919magazine.co.uk/may2024/?i=7

@gordonmccreadie @ACCSteveJohnson Only a matter of time before cop is killed *No tasers *Short shields removed from cars 6.5 kg too heavy!!! *NDM not followed *ITFC risk averse *ARV’s not deployed *Big pile of cops on one suspect Who keeps us safe ?

Incredible response today from all officers, across divisional boundaries against an immediate threat. For legal reasons I can’t comment but I can assure those who have been in touch welfare measures are in place and the SLT were immediately deployed to support the team. 🙏

@ScotsPolFed As protectors Front line response should all have #Taser and proper PPE. Short shields for creating deescalation space should be in every car. They're not too heavy!!! @CFMBE

“The presence of Tasers will de-escalate huge numbers of scenarios before they ever become critical and it will provide reassurance to officers. But if the question is do we need more, the answer is always going to be yes.” 1919magazine.co.uk/april2024/?i=8

@BBCGaryR @EISUnion Teaching staff being let down by @EISUnion & local authorities @COSLA This is #violence towards workers and pupils @AberdeenCC already have had a fatality in sec school.

Teachers speak out over rising pupil violence. We'll hear from @EISUnion #bbcgms 0805 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

@FigenMurray It must be so frustrating for you with all the ‘promises’ made by certain politicians. At least this is promising news Figen.

Martyn's Law: standard tier consultation - GOV.UK - goo.gl/alerts/aXNRK1 #GoogleAlerts At long last the public consultation is now live and will run for the next six weeks. This is for the standard tier only, namely public venues with a capacity of 100-799.

Sadly many older experienced heads are leaving and young inexperienced cops have no real mentors or support @west_response @PoliceScotland @metpoliceuk This is a Workin' Man, He's not Stickin' Nobody Up ! youtu.be/4qdT3qs-jFo?fe… via @YouTube

@west_response Agreed DB .. Observe and record .. Catch up with them later

@benthespaniel @west_response Tell them to go for a cuppa whilst you folks train. No use arguing with them. Document the details. When they get injured you have a paper trail that they didn’t participate.

@west_response Not really Just some hard decision making Then we can go on to fantasy jobs in projects and made up departments

@PSOSCollege As an organisation you’re still operating in the ‘dark ages’ regarding prone restraints and joint locks. Compared to some of more forward thinking mental health units using ground restraints.

The second half of Course 01/23 has been learning Violent Prisoner Removal and the application of Fastraps this afternoon in Operational Safety Training. #LifeOfAProbationer

@dharford79 Must say I liked the incident reporting app which can be used across different road maintenance companies.

As lots of you are asking, yesterday was incredible. Very hot 14 hour day but very worth while. Some great speakers with important messages about road worker abuse. Lots of positive engagement to go forward with industry wide. More info: stampitout.uk #RoadSafety
