Response Officer

[PC @PC53289]

@Peter_Kirkham @ThistlePc @ES_Humour @PFEW_Chair @grahamwettone Easy to justify 80 in a 30 on route to an MTA if you’re the closest unit. Not so easy to justify if you’re on route to a damage only RTC😂

[PC @PC53289]

@ThistlePc @ES_Humour @PFEW_Chair @grahamwettone @Peter_Kirkham New guidance is to drive as fast as is safe and that you can justify, if you can justify it whilst stood in the dock then go for it!

@OnceATrojan What would be your expected or ideal response time for officer getting to you in an emergency?

[PC @PC53289]

@OnceATrojan A dog? Behave yourself! More chance of the coast guard turning up😂

[PC @PC53289]

@OnceATrojan I’ll play devils advocate here... if the Police got there within 15 minutes (Force target) would the offenders still be there? Has any evidence been lost in that 25 minute window? Is there any reduced risk to the public by getting there 25 minutes sooner?

[PC @PC53289]

@Brick_Cop Wait... you have two coppers in your car?!! I have to play operator and driver whilst on route 🤷🏽‍♂️

[PC @PC53289]

@OnceATrojan Out of interest, what was your call about?

[PC @PC53289]

@thedogman_918 Thoughts on forces using Belgian Malinois instead of German Shepherds? Pros and cons? Your preference?

[PC @PC53289]

@MetPC_99 Vehicle’s unlocked, implied consent...👀😂 or the ways and means act 🤷🏽‍♂️

[ResponcePC✨ @MetPC_99]

Abandoned car on a roundabout, airbags deployed, no trace of driver... was unlocked so searched it to try and work out what happened etc.

What power was used to search? 🤔

[PC @PC53289]

@NYPdrones @WYP_Drones Ah, I assumed there would be an exemption for the Police. Thanks!

[PC @PC53289]

@WYP_Drones We’re in the process of getting a police drone in the borough to be deployed by trained intervention officers

[PC @PC53289]

@WYP_Drones Would the area you’re flying over not count as a built up area?

[PC @PC53289]

@TaffMet Ah cheers! What brand of drop holster do you use?

[PC @PC53289]

Has anybody on here ever used a drop leg holster with the X2? I’ve seen a few people use it but wondered what it’s like - similar to the image, ignore the actual carrying system, by the same concept

[PC @PC53289]

Saves room on the belt, less annoying with a seatbelt/everything you walk in to. Also, saves carrying it on a vest and getting in the way of day to day work. Anybody have any thoughts?

[PC @PC53289]

@TheBlackRat6 For context, short pursuit, single crewed, blocked vehicle in so no time to grab the life hammer (or find it haha!)

[PC @PC53289]

Anybody ever bent their baton before? Tried to smash a car window, 4 strikes later... the window was in tact and the baton was bent 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[PC @PC53289]

@apointlessalias Cheers! I’ve heard good things about these, it’s definitely on the shopping list!
