@Melissag0ec If the facts as you've described them are genuine, I'm sorry he went through that. Regardless of what he did, police have a duty of care to look after a DPs welfare. Life & limb first, evidence 2nd. They failed in that aspect here. I'm out now, but kinda glad I am.

@virtuallysoph @RogueUnfiltered @ForWomenScot Think it's just poorly written. I vaguely remember this case. She was a PCSO prior to the original case.

@GladysEasy @TheGriftReport You should really do some research on the effect policing can have on mental health. Many officers can deal with more traumatic incidents in a few months than most people see in a lifetime. It has an effect eventually.

@BMM1882 @altontowers 1. The address isn't accurate enough to narrow it down to knock on a door. HOWEVER, as a cop, I would likely be asking AT to check if any of the staff live on that road or the one on either side.
2. AT can't give you CCTV and will need to be requested by police due TO GDPR.

@OmahKhemikal @fesshole The evidence is cardboard thin. Suspect the ase may be flushed away!

@southlondonjohn @grahamwettone @realrabbilinda Not how taser works. It only has an impact on the subject. It's quite safe to go hands-on whilst the "juice" is on.

@InspGadgetBlogs The others are Boots and Super drug normally.

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@InspGadgetBlogs Kinda like the spiking legislation.

@aussie_sarge @grahamwettone 4 years as a PC, just about hitting £2100 after deductions!

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

Want to license police officers to practice? Then pay us what its worth to do the job. The starting pay is lower now than it was in 2016. Almost 4 years in and I barely clear 2k net deductions. Tell me how the pay matches the risks? If something better crosses my path, I'm gone.

@Dunnylad1 Long story mate. Too long for on here!

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

6 years in policing coming to an end and handing my warrant card back today. Not how I expected things to turn out, but I'm walking away with my head held high, having given it my best shot. Given the way things are going, I'm actually glad to be walking away. #TJF

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@gig_itty_gig That's how I'm looking at it. I'm leaving without PTSD or any seriousMH issues, although have picked up a physical injury that will probably niggle me forever as a reminder! 🤦

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@MrHrandomnumber @Dunnylad1 Long story. Not how I wanted to leave tbh. Nothing misconduct related, just not entirely on my own terms.

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@MarietteSohns Not 100% but got a couple of weeks to sort something. Interview next week. I won't say to much at this stage whilst I'm still technically employed but it's been a long and winding road to get where I am. Not the end I was hoping for & fully intended it to be a long term career.

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@BettyBoochichi2 Stuff like this makes me glad I'm handing my warrant card in today!

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@ScotsPolFed There's many reasons to have BWV. That is definitely not one of them! 🤦

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@CPhilpOfficial Give it a rest. Your party completely decimated policing, its going to take at least a generation to recover from the savage cuts. Theresa May was the worst thing to happen to policing, ever! Do you think she was right with her "crying wolf" speech? Everything predicted happened!

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@pope2023 @JayDarkmoore @IainGould That's the issue. Forces don't keep a record of the number and they should.

[Propper Copper @PropperCop]

@starbeam00 @fesshole 20°C is about right. 21 at most.
