I talk the way I find it.Then talk is if you did. Not the way you have been.
It just so happens I find today’s police “service” is not fit for purpose. That is not down to the coppers on the street or the cid officers struggling with numerous caseloads, no it’s down to inadequate poor management over the years and a government who have seen fit to run it into the ground and expect even more.
As the old saying goes, “you can’t get blood out of a stone”. The senior management and politicians expect the coppers to give just that and more.
All I said was enough is enough and IF I were serving today I would do the minimum required, I’d still do my duty, I’d still run out of the nick leaving my refs uneaten if a fellow officer shouted for urgent assistance, I might even leave if a suspects on call came out, but I certainly wouldn’t be knocking suspects off mopeds because you just know you wouldn’t be backed up.
As I said, I’m relieved and very happy to be retired and very glad I don’t have to put up with what the poor sods have to put up with today.
