It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of Jake Larson, one of the last D-Day veterans and beloved social media figure known as "Papa Jake," who died at
102. On June 6, 1944, he landed on Omaha Beach, facing unimaginable danger so others could live in freedom. In his later years, millions came to know his warmth, humor, and humility online, as he often said he was simply "lucky" to have survived when so many did not. With his passing, a living link to D-Day fades into history, and the duty to remember the courage and sacrifice of that generation now rests with us. May he rest in peace. 🫡

Psychometric tests for heavens sake. We gave up experimenting with those in the 80s, total waste of time. Get back to basics and have decent face to face interviews and proper background checks.

The Police Federation seem to be the only people who still don’t get it. While they talk about psychometric tests and new assessment tools, officers on the ground are living through PSD witch hunts, poor salaries, constant criticism, and a level of support so thin it’s barely there.

The job has changed. You can’t keep handing officers a degree they can take elsewhere, offering them little pay, stretching them to breaking point, and then acting shocked when they leave. Forces are short staffed because policing is no longer seen as a long-term career. It is a springboard to something else. That says everything about the state of the organisation.

Policing is unique. It demands resilience, empathy, sound judgement, and the ability to handle trauma day after day. But no amount of tests or recruitment exercises will fix the deep-rooted problems driving people out.

You can keep filtering who comes in, but it means nothing if you don’t value the people who stay.
