Police gone soft?

[Gout Man]

surely they have something better to do with their time?

In Merseyside? No doubt about that, no doubt at all.

 

[devexwarrior]

Is there such a thing?

Sadly, yes

 

[Gout Man]

Not just bosses who need no experience.

What could possibly go wrong?

Oh feck, Peter Imbert will be spinning in his grave.

 

[wasteofrations2]

Oh yes.

Home Office opened up Inspector and Superinendent ranks to direct entry.

Met has direct entry DCs as well.

I don't know much about the cops, but I find that a bit worrying.

You find it worrying? All us old cops find it even more worrying. We thought that the CID was dodgy enough when we were serving!

 

[Lardbeast]

Probably not, but according to the judge, the video would incite others to do so.

When they removed the beak's sense of humour, did they just say, "Stuff it, let's take the entire brain while we're at it" ?

Must have left a nasty scar on his bum.

Clearly you are not cut out for a career in the police then.

Read, learn and get ahead; any idea is a great idea, when it comes from above.....

Imagine if the forces had direct entry, what sort of narcisstic self serving twits would you end up with?

It’s interesting, no Defence Secretary would dare suggest or implement direct entry at Major or Lt Col level into the military like May did to the police.

Even after the sub par performance of many military middle and senior leadership over the Afghan and Iraq campaigns. The criticism of the police by May, could just as easily be applied to the military.

The military are still sacred cows who cannot be openly criticised by politicians for fear of being seen to be unpatriotic.

Dude - did you just fart in church?


(It's at around 40 seconds in. I must work out what "I've followed through" is in Arabic one day).

It has been suggested by the current CDS though and you can't fault his logic.

Raglan, Cardigan and Lucan...

In one of the 'Flashman' books, possibly 'Flashman at the charge' he makes the observation that had the Crimean war been more successful then a lot of the failings of the command structure would have been ignored. He adds (the books being 'written' round the beginning of the 20th century) that the army wasn't doing so well in South Africa, where the commanders had not purchased their commissions. Which is an interesting point.

As a new recruit on the two-year Detective Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) you will spend the majority of your time on the frontline, learning alongside experienced officers.

Unlike more traditional qualifications, the DHEP is a vocational course that focuses on practical learning and is specifically tailored for a career in policing ultimately leading to a graduate diploma in Professional Policing Practice. All learning and operational deployments on the Detective pathway are contextualised and relevant to an investigative context.
You will learn how things work in theory so that when you encounter them in real life you will be confident to deal with the situation.

Speaking strictly as a Mivvy, this looks suspiciously like an NVQ...admittedly on the top of something like a 2:2 in Crimanal Studies but why is it such an embuggerance to gain uniformed experience???

More to this, anyone in the know?

Police officer struck boy in custody across the face

Custody sergeant Matthew Myers also left the boy naked in his cell until another officer arrived.

Oh. Experienced officers you say?

Generally speaking, that's anyone out of the two year probation now isn't it?
