Police Special

A serving Special Constable, here to share more on what we do, challenge pre-conceptions and share thoughts. Views are my own.

@ZachGP_ Take the toxic Hull budget hit for points upside on LL?

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@FanAmpFantasyHQ SAI for overtaking potential?

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

The most sensible response I've seen all day.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@Jon64266782 @NormanBrennan It may not be a straightforward as that. If the victim is not willing to support, then there may well be evidential difficulties amongst other considerations.

@DP_RyanHowell Was it to Michelle's place..

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@scchiefinspect1 Was this their first practical assessment/scenario?

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@bylandseaandair What rig are you on?

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@WecopsCaroline @HarryTtweets We have regular ops out with our licensing teams, always excellent experiences and feedback.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@AnotherPlod @HarryTtweets Just a point here. If it compromises your safety by having "one less" taser, what does it mean for a crewed SC team who have no taser? An SC doing minimum hours wouldn't get on a taser course anyway.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@MaddieTvp The leg is fine, the foot would be more concerning 😂!

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@SANB13573113 @HarryTtweets I don't think they are mutually exclusive, so it's more about what the minimum commitment should be from the Special to that role.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@WecopsCaroline Just ridiculous. Where's that chart showing knife from and S&S again...!

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@KentSpecials Great work, stay safe.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

Haven't been out for the last week as I spend time with the family, but many of my colleagues are out tonight and were over Xmas. So incredibly proud of what we do and so very grateful for the ongoing support and appreciation of our regular team mates. Stay safe you 'orrible lot!

@stillmuddy @myspecialjob I've had the GSGs for about three years. They are really comfy and warm. Only thing I've noticed is a bit of separation of the leather to the sole. Only small but needed a bit of glue.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@MetSpecial2 @sc_survey @PoliceChiefs @JamesCleverly A large part of the issue will be, let's say a national approach is agreed, having the right capability and capacity to implement becomes the next problem. SC management teams and SLT is another huge variation. It is all solvable though!!

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@MetSpecial2 There are commonalities across the board, such as the inability to recruit the right type of candidate, which has made retention problematic. The differences between some forces on how SCs are viewed, treated and trained is huge though.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

Breakfast of champions...

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@SC_TMB20 We have them on the shoulders.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@Miles_PBH I agree, and have experienced first hand, that the reporting is difficult. But I do think it's essential that more is done understand the impact we have.

[Police Special @SC_Officer]

@Miles_PBH Recognition of essential skills etc and measuring the impact of said skills - quantifying the impact - are different things, which I thought was the point of your question?
