Since I left work earlier this evening

I've been to the gym, cooked some dinner, watched a bit of tv and surfed the net for a little while. I was wondering out of curiousity, how many other police related blogs there are? Fucking hundreds!!!! I am tempted to say, "shouldn't you be out arresting criminals and solving low level crime" but that would be churlish.... wouldn't it?

  2. We, as in "we police officers" or we as in "we, the rest of decent thinking human beings" if it is the former, then why the hell can't you get your heads together and do something that will make a difference? Or secretly tell me what I can do and I'll do it!!!!!!!

  3. 'Get our heads together'
    I'm an employee, I'm guessing the same as you.
    Does your boss listen to you?

  4. Well I'm a manager in the firm I work for, so yes my boss does listen to me - and if there is something the guys here DONT agree with me about, I'll make as much as a song and dance that I can until they do!

  5. Blogger from Inspector's blog...

    We don't blog in work time! We like to moan about policing so much we blog at home!
    We're sort of on the same track aren't we, look through most police blogs and we talk about how crazy it is, the things that stop us doing our jobs properly etc..

    here is another blog, from outside the police, talking about how bad your service from the police was...

    We're all on the same hymn sheet here!

    And getting out heads together - a few low ranking bloggers scattered across the UK can't change the world and the senior officers are on their own planet...but by blogging I hope some stories get into the press and are maybe read by senior officers or government ministers and maybe we can put the pressure on that way to change.

  6. I knew you wouldn't blog in work time, as I said, I was being churlish - although I bet it is tempting to use Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter if it's true that some of you now have Blackberry devices! :)

    To be honest, I've kind of given up now, trying to put pressure on the respective parties, Michael Todd's office didn't see fit to offer any help or support, local council couldn't give a shit, been on local radio, if I go to the papers, (which I did once out of sheer frustration) the chances are I'll be seen as a target by the nutcases and today's news is tomorrow's chippy papers, so the only way that I believe I can make any kind of difference, is to take the law into my own hands and start punching a few heads in.

    Maybe violence will be the only language these little bastards will understand, so I'm working on the premise that if I can't beat them, I will have to join them.

  7. There is also the option which every true Englishman is entitled to. To stand for parliament or local government. Is that an option you'd considered? Local coucil? Without sounding like an arse, have you actually done anything apart from moan? It sounds like a harsh question, but a lot of people are very capable of complaining without being able to offer a constructive alternative to the status quo.
    If you live on or near a sink estate than i truely appreciate what you are dealing with on a day to day basis. It is crap. You'd have to be a politician to deny that. But don't forget that the police are only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen.
