Not sure where those figures come from. A modern day police inspector will earn around the 55-60k salary and they are only two up the ladder. A senior officer to me is superintendent and above and a super will start at around 77k on point one which will hit about 85k at point 4. Chief...

Discretion is used daily, but it just isn't reported. It's still an offence to be drunk in a public place and also for drunk people to be served alcohol, but it goes on in every town and city, pub and club in the country. You couldn't realistically arrest them all as it would be bad PR in my...

I'm not sure what they expect to achieve with ULEZ, except revenue. A lot of struggling people are being priced off the roads.

Arrest discretion still very much exists, and if you mean old style as in pre-PACE days, then believe me in that the current system is far better.

Another couple for you. Several years back, I was drafted down to Bradford for what we call mutual aid as West Yorkshire Police asked for extra boots on the ground with the reason being that the far right were marching and protesting in an area that had a high Asian population, and trouble was...

Around 6000 products come from oil, and I'm willing that JSO members use a lot of them. I think most of us want to move away from fossil fuels, but current events and demands do not allow for it.

Hello matey. Bar stuff that wears and needs replacing, it has been spot on. Failed its last MOT on a tyre, handbrake needed a tweak and a new back arm. It's only in the last few years that I have started to like Mercs - getting older - but I do like it.

LOL ..... Is that still doing the rounds ?

E220 with 2.1 diesel. Whomever bought it new had a few AMG extras fitted, and it hasn't failed me yet. It had 77k on when I bought it and has 97 on now. I wasn't looking for an E class, but the coupe appealed and came up for a price I couldn't refuse.

I read an article a while back that said the average person on the street had 4-6 tra7matic events in their entire life. It also said that cops have between 400-600, a 100 fold increase, and you are right in that there is little to no time to decompress and it's job to job to job. Many an old...

I ended up getting an E Class coupe. Just happened to meet someone who was self employed, expanding their business and needed some quick cash, I put in a daft offer and it was accepted.

Very sad. A true great of the game.

I believe that it was a vocation for some, perhaps the majority, for a long time and something that one would want to do. That was the case for me when I signed on the dotted line nearly 24 years ago. Policing has seen a paradigm shift in my time in the job, in which I still work the front...

I can't believe that this thread I started is still going after almost a decade.

Hello Feeky poos and TC - Hope things are fine and dandy.

It's been a while since I graced these here forums but thanks to a Feek reset I am back for a shufty. Hope everyone is well. :) Oooo - new avatar as well.

As a Toon fan for the thick end of 35 years, this is merely another ride on the roller coaster than is being a Toon fan. The Saudi wealth fund invests in a lot of everyday brands and businesses that will no doubt be conveniently forgotten about Newcastle's critics. Let's hope none of them use...

Jaffa Cakes ? Risk vs reward man ..... Orange Club at the very minimum.

I have had naga curries before. Lovely blend of taste and heat but one's arse is like a brake light the next day.

Time does indeed fly. Zoltan was a big part of these forums as you rightly say and I hope you and your family are well. :)
