@CopneyRebel I really do no understand this decision from the MET and I’m really interested in hearing the ideas of the human rights groups on how to protect officers from this type of assault.
@LASDHQ@SEBLASD Are your paramedics also deputies? And if so do they become paramedics after being a deputy or are they paramedics who are then deputised?
@DefencePolFed Hopefully this will help explain to members of the public that when the government or Chiefs say “EXTRA” officers on patrol what they really mean (like we’ve been saying) is officers on overtime and cancelled rest day!!
@GirlCop_ The MET have changed the wording to get around this going from using “minimum strength” meaning other officers had to be found to man the team up to now using “desired strength” which means a borough can be policed on just 8-9 officers. We feel your fear and pain.
@DvdHmltn@DefencePolFed I don’t think it will be long before you see a mass exodus of officers looking to join us H/O forces with the lack of support in terms of pay, pensions and officer numbers
@MelDawson3 @ProtectRPolice @out_of_lives@LushLtd My other question to you @MelDawson3 is if this is about the campaign for truth and justice and NOT sales why are @LushLtd deleting the 1 star reviews on FaceBook? Surely people are entitled to leave reviews based on their experience, even if about seeing the window campaign?
@MelDawson3 @ProtectRPolice @out_of_lives@LushLtd How many people will actually take the time to check it out though or will they walk on by the store front and see a uniformed officer being called a spy and liar?
@cate_a_moore @Matt_The_Mac @RichSpecials @DurhamSCChief PACE powers to be able to book suspects in on a busy weekend in custody or when the borough or division has sunk and sergeants and Inspectors are overwhelmed for a special inspector to be able to authorise S.18’s while the duty officer is at a critical incident?
@cate_a_moore @Matt_The_Mac @RichSpecials @DurhamSCChief Cate, would you feel more at ease with this if it was a case that the specials had better training and carried out the same promotion process as paid officers? Surely at a time of austerity it would be a great help to a force with dwindling numbers to have a special with....
@EscapedHere@JakeMDinham @RichSpecials @cate_a_moore @DurhamSCChief But with that point why does gaining rank as a paid officer matter if it’s about making a difference? There are specials out there who give the SC a bad name but no more than there are regs who do the same and want the stripes and pips for boost in ego.
@SYPSCChief @BTPSpecials I think once the specials are given the same training as paid officers instead of only 23 days it would reduce the complaints from paid officers and give them more confidence in the specials abilities.
