@jimbojillydog@Brick_Cop@ukhomeoffice I don’t think it’d happen on a large scale because ultimately, cops want to do the right thing. We know that if you hand in that ticket for L2 or shot, IRV or RT, then the public and colleagues will suffer. Brass know this and have us over a barrel
@AEthelswin@KatieMagnet@Jonathan_Hinder Retirement isn’t in my immediate future but not far off. I know of some cops that are retiring imminently and are losing 1000s of their lump sum. Absolutely disgusting
@InspGadgetBlogs About 15 years ago, our beat crime team were expected to get 6 detections (clear ups) per month. Each officer carried around 25 crimes. Guess what happened… everyone chased the easy/guaranteed detections to meet quota. Everything else suffered
@crochetjenny I remember being asked about ‘positive discrimination’ and recruitment during my interview for my job, way back in 2003. If I remember rightly, the Met were advertising heavily in ‘the voice’ magazine, at the time.
@Ex_arv_sgt @Telegraph I, a man, made the tea as the newest member of the team for 6 weeks…Until another probationer joined the team and did the same. 6 weeks after that, she was relieved of the that duty by another man.
That was nearly 20 years ago and was already a long standing tradition.
