Anyone Here In The Police?

Can’t you contact Sting.

Ive got my sia licences in Front line security and CCTV/Public Space Surveillance.
Should help me. I hope it may do, because at least it has shown Ive passed my security checks etc etc.

It isn’t a particular degree, licence or qualification that recruiters are looking for but individuals with the right attitude.

Not saying you haven’t got them, just stating as a general comment.

Northamptonshire was a nice county in the 50’s and 60’s I was a Traffic policeman and I drove G4 (Wolseley 6/110) which was kept immaculate by ourselves we dressed smartly and were respected by the piblic.
NOT ANYMORE the cars are dirty and the officers scruffy and the public has deteriorated not only with respect for the Emergency Services but everyone else.
If you move to this county please sort things out, we were once a good force.
good luck

Thanks, good to hear from a former Northants Police Officer. Well hopefully i can make that little bit of a positive difference and try install a bit more respect not just for the Police but the Emergency services in general 🙂

Northamptonshire Police

Hello all,

Just about to hopefully do a career move into Northamptonshire Police. The whole application takes about 2 years from start to finish.

However, if anyone here is in the police…is the 2 year wait, worth the wait? I work in security now and love it when we have to go deal with someone and love it when it kicks off a bit.

So what i really want to know, is the job overall worth while and enjoyable?

Regards,
Ben

Nah the only reason I say that bit is really because of my still young age for the Police, im trying to convince myself im not going to shy away from a drunken idiot just because they have used threatening and abusive language/behaviour. Im not saying im one of these adrenalin junkies that thinks that me and me only can go and sort all of Northants out. 🙂 Apologies for the lack of clarity there.

old shape:
Yeh I know what you mean about technicalities. It is annoying. And I’ve never loked at the judicial system that way before :(.

So is the job worthwhile in all then?[/QUOTE]

Of course it is. Especially if you are as passionate about it as you seem to be.
The old adage rings true “Find a job you love and you will never do a days work in your life”.

As for the judicial system, it’s flawed to hell, but the alternative would be me and Charles Bronson with a 12 bore. I think it’s best with the present system don’t you? 🙂

A lawyer MUST defend his client. They know he is guilty but they help construct a viable lie. It is the accused right to proper defence, and it is the duty of the lawyer to defend that right….no matter how deep the poo gets.

Im security in a shopping centre in Woking, Surrey. Im qualified in 2 sections of the security industry. Ive got my sia licences in Front line security and CCTV/Public Space Surveillance.

Should help me. I hope it may do, because at least it has shown Ive passed my security checks etc etc.

What sort of security work do you currently do? I’m sure that will go in your favour on application.
My cousin also works in security. 🙂

I know 2 people who are police officers. One of which has been a friend of mine since we were kids. Both really enjoy the job. Afterall a job is what you make it really.

Good luck. 😎

Well yes, that is true. 🙂 Thanks

Good luck in your application, but the modern Police don’t want ppl who get stuck in.

I couldn’t be a copper.
When guilty scum escapes on technicalities, I couldn’t let it be. They’d have to be sorted.
And when you do all the work to nail a scumbag, only to have some judge with a life knowledge of nil give out a tiny sentance.
(a) Because he is under pressure to keep ppl out of the nick.
(b) Because the defence lawyer knew his father and is from a better school etc. (Even though they are trying to wipe out the “Links” in the system)
(c) Judges and Lawyers are there to protect the law, not the people. That’s why a defence lawyer can defend somebody that is clearly guilty. The law itself is defended.

Hmm… I hope you’re not wanting to go into the police force just to sort people out when they “kick off a bit”? :confused:

Paul

That won’t fit their psychological profile i’m sure!!!

I work in security now and love it when we have to go deal with someone and love it when it kicks off a bit.

See your pms

Yes i got that thank you very much.

I have been advised about the mountainous paper work, but like I say, im a security guard already and fill out some paperwork for incidents.

It is a job that I would love to do regardless of drunken idiots (such as myself on saturday night 😮 ).

Unfortunately on the site where I work, we’ve had a couple of people jump from the top floor of our car park, and having to by them until the Police, and Ambulance service arrive is a shock…so I feel ive been introduced to this already.

🙂

Not got my application yet 😀 😀 😀 Hope it doesn’t take much longer.

Why do people (myself included) want to become police officers 😀 😀 😀 LOL 😀 God only knows 😀 😀 😀

See your pms
