Police Officer in the big North. Got a few skills. Often seen smiling. Doesn’t like day shift. Views are own. Do not report crime here. Cheers.

Text to personal phones from the usual resources number:

Apologies but your RD on xx/05/26 has been cancelled. You are required on a 15:00-23:00 shift. Book on at usual place of work. Further details will be sent on email.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

Any police reg experts out there

If an officer is contacted via personal phone on a RD, today for example, via text from resourcing telling them their RD the following day has been cancelled, does this put the officer on duty today (receipt of text) and can they claim anything?

@ticolespaul This is what I’m trying to work out 👀

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

This will be a fantastic episode of 24hrs in police custody.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

I…. Have no words😶

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

All the evidence, from the Police Inspectorate and the Home Office itself supports this conclusion. Stop and search does not work in detecting or preventing crime.

@IPledgeToThee I’d love to! But we’re not allowed covert armour on my unit (plain clothes) due to in force budget agreements… we asked to be an exception and got knocked back… so its the normal stab vest over clothes or nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

@IPledgeToThee @CrimeLdn No issue though is it… why point it out?

Must’ve been a while since you were in a foot chase and that much adrenaline that you get things mixed up… lawful grounds and lawful arrest, doing what the public expect us to do?

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

I think a key thing to remember here is that if Mr Kaba had stopped his vehicle/complied with police, he’d still be here.

He chose to use that vehicle as a weapon, he created that risk for the officers.

His actions led to the officer making that split second decision.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

Jury weren’t deliberating for too long on this one. Common sense and facts prevail.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

Whilst the full details aren’t known, this reads really uncomfortably for front line officers.

No wonder cops are handing in tickets and afraid to use force, let alone pursue suspects in vehicles and now even on foot…

[Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) @policeconduct]

Met officers to appear in court on assault charges

Three @MetPoliceUK officers will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court after a man was detained while fleeing on foot following a vehicle pursuit in north west London.

@IPledgeToThee What are they doing that you aren’t..?

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

@IPledgeToThee @Spexy1001 Where does it say that in the legislation?

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

You reap what you sow.

Let this be a message to those still thinking of taking part, and a worry for those waiting for the knock on the door.

@nazreddin @TomWitherow May have been said in jest, but believe me a lot of officers there yesterday did not eat for over 12 hours, whilst wearing full riot gear and carrying shields that were being battered. It’s not easy going in the slightest.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

Southport, Walton, Rotherham.

Busy few days supporting colleagues on mutual aid.

To residents who stood up to the violence & prevented further damage, thank you.

Those who launched fireworks, piss & whatever they could at us, achieving absolutely nothing, enjoy what’s coming.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

Say what you will, this is the best of British policing.

The bravery of these officers being faced by that threat, they remain controlled and calm. A fair few pints and commendations for all involved.

Thoughts are with the family of the young boy killed and other victims.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

The moment a suspect was tasered and arrested after a 14-year-old boy was killed in a sword attack in Hainault has been captured by a doorbell camera.

@PCPanda15 Well done!

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

@IPledgeToThee @bedspolice It does… when a S60 is in place anyone can be stopped and searched by police, without any “reasonable grounds” or suspicion.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

Grieving family member asked me if they could bring the family dog into the room to say goodbye to their owner who had passed away at a sudden death today.

Honestly that broke me.

[Plain clothes PC🥷🏻 @PC_ResponseCop]

The constant clashes between frontline police and NHS (hospitals) on Mental Health patients never ceases to amaze me.

I think the introduction of Right Care Right Person in some forces is making partner services feel very uncomfortable… but it’s the right way forward.
