PCDA PC

Police Officer somewhere in England. Constantly tired.

@__Zeph__ I just re word the assessment criteria for each one I’m writing, making it fit where it needs to

They’re soooooooo boring tho

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@ResponsePS I’m only a year and a half in am completely the other way. From Day 1 I’ve made sure I remember it is just a job at the end of the day.

Friends & family first.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@Police_Tebb @PC_DaybyDay And some pretty cool officers…

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

I am a sweaty mess.

Not even a hot mess. Just sweaty 🥵

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

I dropped the degree. Weight lifted off my shoulders. Now I can just focus on being a Police Officer 😊

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

Sooooooooo, how long did you wait for a response course?

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@Police_Tebb @karolinamilena Some fella was kicking off for colleagues and they had a bit of a scrap with him. As soon as he saw me he calmed down and said “you treated me well last time so I’ll talk to you”.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@PcNeenaw Nah, I’ve just stooped to lows of being comfortable wearing my comfies out and about

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@KugaCop I have no issue with doing crap stuff.
My issue is when people on shift try to get out of constants, statements, taking reports etc because they think they’re too good for it.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

Anyone in a force with area cars?

Mine is bringing them back and they’ll go to the most “proactive officers”.
The attitude very much seems to be that old sweats will rock up, do the bare minimum and then leave all the hard stuff “to the kids”.

Seems toxic imo

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

And by hard stuff I mean statements, custody runs etc.

Bits that those longer in service try to get out of doing as it is.

My opinion is, if you’re all on the same team, pull your weight in doing the shit jobs.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@taff_8 I bet you’re really well liked.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

I’ve had a bit of a rough time at work recently. I’ve dealt with too many jobs involving death and sadness for my liking

Felt like I needed a break, tried to get some AL and it has been declined because of MSL.
How are we ever meant to get leave if we’re always below MSL? 🙁

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@PcdaProbie After your last night, set an alarm for 1230/ 1300 on your first rest day. You’ll feel awful all day but it’ll help you sleep that night and be up at a decent time on 2nd rest day.

I’ve found getting up early on my last test day helps me sleep for the first early.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@Police_Tebb There was a night shift last set where we had no one free. Two grade 1s came in and we had to resort to response officers from your force coming over to us to help.

Well and truly fucked.

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@AdhdPc Swiping on tinder between mouthfuls of chicken and rice? 👀

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

So frustrating when old sweats moan and try to get out of constants because they think they’re too good to do them. Last time I checked, we’re all part of a response team so it does very much come under your job description 🙃

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

Last night was my last night shift and I didn’t leave work until 1030 this morning.

Yes, I’ll get my 4hrs pay but I am absolutely ruined 😴

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

@Tamarafreemanxx What’s it on?

[PCDA PC @AnotherPCDAPC]

Feeling very lucky to be as supported as I am.

I’ve had to go to my skipper with a few work related issues and his first questions are generally “how is this making you feel?” and “what can we do to resolve this so you don’t feel like that?”
