@sherlock_comms Yup. Where I police now, recruits leave training school after 9 months. I think I did 15 weeks (if that) in England. I can massively see the difference in quality of recruits between the two forces
Struggling to believe that British policing is ideologically captured? Watch this clip. A chief officer crying about 'community trauma' after gangster Chris Kaba was lawfully shot for trying to murder police officers using a vehicle. You can't detest these people enough.

27 young non-EU migrants have been hired in Britain for every ONE young Brit.
Read that again.
A whole generation of Brits have had their lives destroyed by the Tory and Labour open borders regime.
Reform will abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain, deport all illegal migrants and prioritise British people for British jobs.

As we edge closer towards all Police Forces having to record traumatic incidents each Officer attends mandatorily; it’s important to realise how far gone we already are.
I was sent the below graph a few weeks before that announcement was made and it demonstrates in combat environments how rapidly soldiers’ effectiveness is eroded by constant trauma.
It also explains why frontline soldiers are rotated away from their ‘day job’ for that very reason.
Now huge disclaimer, no one is saying Police Officers experience the same traumas those in a war zone do. But they do experience constant traumatic incidents daily that the vast majority of society will possibly only experience maybe only once in a lifetime.
So what do we do about it?
Firstly - leaders need to have a conversation with the public, yes, the public; about how many Police Officers we have available to respond to 999 calls. Why? Well if you’re working six days on and you go to one traumatic call a shift, you’ve already beaten the lifetime average for a normal person in one week. We then expect that Police Officer to be rational and calm on and off duty and deal with all that trauma on their own on their days off and then come back ready to go again.
Now I could tell you what it’s like to burn out after years of doing that and how long and hard it is to drag yourself back to a job and a role that’s broken you, but that’s not the point right now.
The numbers on Response Teams are far too low to accommodate how much trauma those teams experience. That’s the fact.
Secondly, we are so focussed on ‘charter times’ that unlike the Ambulance Service, Fire Service, RNLI and Coastguard - instead of debriefing after each emergency, Police Officers are rushed on to the next one.
Why?
To keep Senior Officers happy with their ‘Charter Time’ stats.
Also as a side note - the main charter time that’s focussed on is Domestic Abuse, rightly so.
But when Policing is battered in the media about shoplifting and burglary responses, I never understand why Policing doesn’t push back and say ‘because we prioritise Domestic Abuse because there is a much higher risk of serious injury and death than there is at a shoplifting and we only have x numbers of Police Officers to answer 999 calls’. I think most reasonable people would accept that.
We are at the crest of a wave of finally realising how broken Police Officers are nationally.
If you’re a leader, it’s time to do something now, before the evidence makes you do it.

@TiredSgt@maurice_1960 This won’t be a training issue, all of those things are drilled into you on the course. The poor Bobby’s head has come off and adrenaline got the better of him. He was lucky this time, hopefully he’s learnt his lesson
Everyone is panicking about @RestoreBritain_ splitting @reformparty_uk vote and allowing Burnham to win.
The panic is misplaced.
The worst political outcome would be Restore stepping aside to allow Reform a victory.
With its current direction of travel, Reform offers the country no redemption. By stepping aside, Restore would concrete in Reform’s hopelessness.
Restore must fight this election and do the best it can. If it were to gain 7% of the vote, as predicted, that would send an earth quake through Reform.
Reform might then correct its ways.
A Burnham victory makes not a blind bit of difference to the country. Labour has a 156 seat majority. Whether Burnham or some other idiot from Labour becomes PM makes no difference.
And for those worried about an early general election - turkeys do not vote for Christmas. It is not happening.
Restore and Rebecca Shepherd must fight this by election tooth and nail.
I know @_AdvanceUK supporters are already in Makerfield campaigning on their behalf. I will help where I can.
Once again, trying to appease people who are never and will never be satisfied. We were told BWV would decrease complaints and reduce violence against police. Neither has happened. I guarantee you, you can't feed this beast.

‘Net migration’ is a misleading measurement, because it is produced by subtracting departures from arrivals.
The ONS estimates that 813,000 people immigrated to the UK last year, with 627,000 (77 per cent) of them arriving from non-EU countries. These included 138,000 Indians, 56,000 Pakistanis, 54,000 Chinese and 47,000 Nigerians. Meanwhile, 642,000 left the UK – including a quarter of million British nationals and 118,000 EU nationals.
This represents substantial population change – almost 400,000 Brits and Europeans left this country last year, to be replaced by 627,000 migrants from some of the poorest countries in the world. This matters because all populations are not equal.
