What is this talk of a police license to practise? I don’t understand? Why do we need more repeating training? Do MP’s have a license to represent?

I just saw a petition on Parliaments website to make it a legal duty to call for help. I think that’s an amazing idea but I also think it should be extended to crimes in progress or assisting police officers rather than filming them? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7505…

@SandwichZero1 Ewww it’s LMS

@SandwichZero1 Did you do the fast track physio through work?

@policecommander I am doing the exact same for the same reason

Caught up yesterday with a Met DC who has had enough. A good officer. A good person. "I still love the Met," they told me. "But I've come to realise that the Met doesn't love me back." And so they're leaving for a county force - for a place they hope will value & appreciate them.

Whilst we are on the topic of pay, how about policing? Rotating shifts, long hours, abuse , violence, trauma? @Brick_Cop

@Sandford_Police @Brick_Cop @CityPoliceCops @BTP @metpoliceuk Pro plus has never tasted as good as it does during carnival weekend

@Brick_Cop @CityPoliceCops @BTP @metpoliceuk Chugging cans of energy drinks with some caffeine pills as a snack

Most of the Metropolis, (@CityPoliceCops and @BTP) will be feeling rather weary this morning… 🫡 Whether you’re back at #NottingHillCarnival today, or holding the fort on borough, thank you for everything you’ll do to keep the public and each other safe. ✅ #ThinBlueLine 💯🚨

@SandwichZero1 ahhh yes, different venue to me, i was pixie

@SandwichZero1 I suspect we were working the same op!!!

@beardymcpolis @SupportWACops I’m spoilt for choices, atm just considering my options in UK policing ie transferring to another force

@SupportWACops @TaserProbie Or SApol 😎😉

This is beyond sad. 😔 Years of service and experience leaving for a better quality of life, better pay on the other side of the world…👀 Australia are proactively recruiting British and Irish Police Officers and nothing has been done about it whatsoever. 🤦🏼‍♂️ #ThinBlueLine 🚨

@SupportWACops @Brick_Cop @WA_Police Noted with thanks 😊

@TaserProbie @Brick_Cop You’re 3 years will get you into @WA_Police

@Golden_Cop @Brick_Cop It’s just mad to me that the Met (can only talk from experience) do very little to actually retain officers. Don’t get me wrong when they had cohorts of 500 I can get it but they are struggling to recruit as is 😂😂

@TaserProbie @Brick_Cop 3 years experience is enough for South Australia!

@sherlock_comms It just makes me laugh, in my humble opinion, it shouldn’t be this course you have to struggle to get hold of, it should be an inevitablity, but it’s not. The fact it’s this social heirarchy thing doesn’t make sense

What is it and response courses being seen as these ‘elite’ courses in the Met…. I’m fed up

@SandwichZero1 I just don’t get it, like, I know people who have been in the job a while get a bit sick of it, but then, go somewhere else? I come to work to do the job and when I hear an I grade get circulated 8 times knowing that 4 units are free it’s a piss take! Such a waste of a course!

@SandwichZero1 I know lots of people who had that nickname on my team. I think it’s a shame. Especially as those who get the courses then become allergic to work, I.E I grade domestics (which I’ve never understood as it’s all handed over) and ANY S grade that can’t be ASNT 😂😂

@SandwichZero1 And now the goalposts have moved again, I was technically second in line and now people who are older than I am are being put before me purely because of my age. It’s demotivating especially when I have friends in other force areas who have joined a year after me getting one.

@SandwichZero1 I’ve been on my team since November 2 years ago now. Don’t get me wrong I know I am not nearly experienced enough to have a course in general, however, I’ve seen 3 people get a course since being on the team. Each as least deserving as the next
