Wonder when Police Scotland provide proactive content on their socials… Met police seem to have generated lots of positive organisational support just by showing what cops do on the daily… a very easy win in which we’re missing the mark on…

@west_response I’ve asked this question. Brilliant, real at times funny insight clearly driving public support. Would be good to see PS follow suit.

Does anyone know if Police Scotland have ever talked about introducing salary sacrifice car leasing? I know plenty of companies offer the service, and in fact a few police forces in England using them? Seems like a morale/saving boost for the troops being missed? @ScotsPolFed

So let me get this right. I’ll get a 3.5% payrise this year, after a decade of below inflation payrises, whilst those who don’t work on benefits get a 6.2% increase?

@CopOfTheNorth This is being provided by PS? Where are you seeing this?

Any news on the second part of the Fraser Allander review?

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@GDivCop @GdivReps It’s double time. Account owner private messaged me and checked.

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@GdivReps Op Roll. Originally scoped on a rest day with more than 8 days notice - time and a half. However, was cancelled 3 days before but two hours later re-scoped for a new venue. Is this considered less than 8 days notice and thus suitable for double time?

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@daIeevans Good to know - thanks for educating me. So talks will still continue irregardless of a ‘pay deal’?

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@Protect_ServeUK You may have more luck asking questions relating to PIRC? I’ve heard of a few stories.

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@ScotsPolFed Punched to the side of the head causing a cut, but didn’t meet the criteria because I didn’t go to the hospital. I just wanted to go home.

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@baseballscot Brilliant stuff.

What’s the news on the Fraser of Allander review? Surely there’s some evidence to draw from there, along with ammunition.

‘RELENTLESS’ IS NOW LIVE!

Police officers in Scotland face violent attacks, make split-second life-or-death decisions and carry the emotional weight of every call they respond to.

This film tells the story the headlines don’t. They aren’t fictional scenarios – for many officers, they are a daily reality.

@grumpypleb In what way? Did your mate specify? I’m thinking about it myself. It’s hard to find the specifics on the nuances of policing and what’s better in comparison.

New petition doing the rounds: Make aggressive social media auditing a criminal offence: https://t.co/gAVyrUl67p If anyone isn't familiar with the scourge that is auditing, then there's a description on this. Signatures and shares appreciated.

@MissGolfAlpha @west_response It’s scary how risk averse we are. I sympathise for my colleagues who made tactical contact (rightfully) with their vehicle - I’m sure that’ll pull them off the street for god knows what investigation.

@GdivReps @___Bert_ @gmpolice When’s the the police bicycle course coming back, I want some shorts 👀

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@gmpolice offer car leasing scheme as apart of their employment.

Has this benefit ever been discussed for PS out of interest?

@GdivReps

[The Scottish Cop @ScotC0p]

@weeveebee @GdivReps Or simply put… forgotten about. Haha thanks anyway.
