Pondering a change, retire my black Coolermaster Silencio S400 in favour of a white Asus Prime AP201. Purely an aesthetic decision as white will match my room better (already have white desk parts, keyboard, mouse, printer, speakers, chair etc). Just curious as to how it compares in terms of...

Putting a stop on a railway line is not something that is instant, it takes vital time to make the call, then for information to be filtered through for the right section of track, then for trains brought to a stop or slowed (where they proceed at a reduced speed under caution). A matter of...

In policing, risk is constantly having to be managed (go read up on the national decision model and the THRIVE model if you want to work out how this should be done). On many occasions the need to take action to save life and limb will put the lives of officers at risk. On this occasion, the...

Forthcoming property purchase means a drive to reduce my monthly costs, out goes the Octavia VRS245 Challenge (loved it, but to spendy to replace without going much older) and in comes the ginger mini. 2019 1.5 Cooper Sport manual with comfort pack, an AUC with 26k miles, 1 previous owner and...

All the benefits of being an officer? Such as? The pay for a PCSO is way less for a start with limited opportunities for career progression or any specialisation.

PCSOs have limited legal powers and a lesser training with regards to use of force, the job role, equipment and training is not geared up for dealing with violence or confrontation or making arrests, hardly a surprise when they subsequently want to stay out of harms way? A response unit would...

I know it's somewhat trendy to bash the failed 'war on drugs' policies, and to insist that drugs should be dealt with as a health rather than a criminal justice matter....but the reality is that, whilst the legislation has not changed in a long time (misuse of drugs act 1971 et al), the way in...

I'm an emergency services worker so have dealt with a fair few dead bodies during my time. Never pleasant. Had one once where the deceased's pet dog had likely had a nibble on his former owner, that one was especially bad and had been there for quite some time, during a hot spell. The...

That Evo looks really fresh :cool::cool: Whats the engine spec for 500bhp?

I'd be interested to know the exact wording of the PSPO that applied to the area around the abortion centre really, are you able to post it if you've looked it up? :) Some of the wording used in court orders is hugely subjective and open to interpretation. It is also worth noting that this is...

Police officers in this country arrest people on suspicion of committing an offence, they do not have to *prove* the person has committed the offence prior to making an arrest, they simply need reasonable grounds to suspect the person whom they are there to arrest. An arrest is often what...

Got a couple of deals which I thought were worthwhile, if not exactly the sort of purchases to get excited about... Tefal saucepan set I was going to buy anyway for £126.99, down to £56.99, pleased with that. Philips Steam Iron that was apparently £84.99 before prime day (available elsewhere...

Curious as to why you *need* a backbox here? I have a set of faceplates similar to the ones the OP posted, they came with a pair of screws and rawl plugs, so to mount them directly to the plasterboard, rather than needing a backbox fitting behind the plate. Surely if there's conduit in place...

Forgive me for not knowing the area, but I can't see them actually driving into McDonalds there? I can think of several occasions at work (full disclosure, I'm a police officer) where there has been two police vehicles in convoy like that (or a police vehicle following an ambulance) and you'd...

Section 17 of PACE is the power usually used... https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/60/section/17 For arresting somebody, note the section making reference to officers needing to have reasonable grounds to believe that the person sought is actually on the premises. Section 117 of PACE...

You know there are specific exemptions in law for police and red lights right? The use of blue/lights and sirens is wholly discretionary as well.

Octavia VRS - petrol versions sometimes have issued with the water pump housing leaking. Diesel versions have issues with the water pump itself failing, and older cars used around town are seeing some DPF related issues too. Fundamentally solid cars. For the petrol versions, the...
