A good guess but it's not right.

Not really. A punch to the nose which causes a bleed will be considered ABH, which is not as serious as GBH. GBH falls into two categories where there is intent and no intenet but the injuries are more severe such as broken bones, lacerations, stab wounds etc.

I assume you will be signing up then ? When you have an understanding of what the police do on a daily basis, do get back to me.

Strange one that. I had to complete and enquiry on a traveller's encampment and there was just myself and another officer. I did what I am paid to do and in the face of adversity left the site with the job done. I speak for myself when I say I won't lose face in front of anyone. If...

Me too. A call which is a burglary is progress and weapons used would warrant an immediate response from divisional staff and quite possible authorising an ARV to travel also, depending on the weapons mentioned. As for two PCSOs being sent to an aggravated burglary and control staff not...

When I joined it was a requirement that officers could swim and part of the initial recruitment test was to swim down to the bottom of a pool about 10 feet deep to retrieve an object. We were also taught basic water rescue in terms of approaching a subject and brining them back to the shore but...

I am astounded that the very man who introduced PCSOs and approved their remit and training has the audacity to comment.

Well that I certainly can't comment on and would not ask any further. Police priorities are set top down. The Government / Home Office states that this is what we need to do and how we want it done and this is taken into practice by the force on the instruction of senior management...

Ineffective how? You do not see what happens day in and day out Spie. You read or watch what the media wants you to view or perhaps you have some personal experiences that you wish to share? If you have personal experiences that have resulted in a poor police response then I would be interested...

Yet again the media rush in where non fools fear to tread. I do not blame those PCSOs one iota. The bare facts of the matter is that they are NOT trained to handle any life saving situation aside from basic first aid and they are not trained in any form of water rescue. Had they tried to...

You would be committing fraud by false representation and it's not worth the chance taken.

There lies the problem. People who don't understand and never will being given such positions with vulnerable people. It's a shame to read that because some people who could really benefit from your experiences and guidance are missing out.

Throw down your spray paint and prepare to be judged! 200 hours community service ......

Did you ever look into why that decision was made malc? It is no bull**** that people like you are priceless when it comes to keeping some waywards on the right road and offering counselling and advice. If that fire is still lit why not pursue it?

Nobody is disputing they knowingly broke the law. I have seen prolific burglars walk free from court with community service orders. I have seen people commit quite bad assaults walk free from court with community service orders and I have seen young tearaways who make elderly residents lives a...

Not sure if thats a question to my post? Well I wouldn't eat in close proximity to any Muslim during Ramadam anyway, again out of common courtesy. Whatever people's opinions on Islamic custom and religious beliefs it will not be easy fasting between dawn and dusk. If what you say was...

Very sad to hear. Absolutely tragic.

That does seem to be the main error to me. In the UK, any child abduction report would involve the scene being shut down immediately for forensic issues to be investigated. Several days before forensics arrive and dozens of people coming in and out while looking for her in the meantime is...

What a marvellously insightful political viewpoint that is.

I have several Muslim colleagues in my workplace and beyond and there has never been one iota of bother or misunderstanding. I like a bacon sandwich and now and again will make one on the canteen and if a Muslim colleague is in I will ask if he's ok with that and not once has there been any...
