I am out of uniform for a little while. I should point out that I am wearing something else before any ladies reading this begin to moisten.

I am doing an attachment to a plain-clothes department called PHT, which sounds like some kind of hormonal imbalance, but actually stands for prisoner handling team. So, I spend my time interviewing and dealing with all the naughty people that the uniformed officers are arresting.

It’s very good because it gives me a chance to interview with some Dc’s who have near 30 years interviewing experience, so I can learn a lot from them.

It also means that I get to interview for some more serious and unusual offences. The other day I got to interview some bloke for a domestic ABH and threats to kill. Charged another guy with possession with intent to supply, for which he will probably get a prison sentence.

It has given me an insight into another aspect of the force, that of CID, which I may now be interested in going into.

I'm bored, which is why I decided to ramble.

*Walks*

ha ha ha

English_Bloke as Frost!

Love'it!

I’m a positive portrayal.

*Feels important*

My mum went straight from high school to the police (which is why she always watched The Bill and Heartbeat) and it's always been something I've considered.

Better than the army, anyway.

Pfhhh, I bet I see the most criminals where I work. One of them came upto me yesterday asking if I had seen or heard owt from the cops/trading standards cos he wanted to set up his "DVD" stall :P

I've always been interested in being a police man. Ever since those days of "The Bill," when I was about 8. (Good times)

Dunno if I'll ever think about actually getting into it though.

Growing up with half my family being policemen, I've always had a view of the police as being...well, like any other human being; with faults and flaws but basically just like anyone else trying to do their job. It's nice to read your posts cos there aren't exactly many positive portrayals of the police around (and those that are positive tend to be propaganda from the "Horsesh!t" school of thought). Good to read something that reminds us that policemen and women aren't evil fascist oppressors.

Well...okay, you are an evil fascist oppressor, but you know what I mean...

I get to nick em

I in no way mean that all people on benefit are criminals

Hey, I get to call people on benefits. Beat THAT.

When dealing with the drug bloke I started work at 11am and finished at 1.30am.

I had to go and search his house, which his mother really liked.

I have never been so tired before I joined the job. The hours are long enough without overtime, and although I get four days off, which is a long time, it is time needed.

Being serious, for a change ...

It's good to read the stuff you write here about your job and I genuinely look forward to reading your posts. I think a lot of people don't realise that there are many different aspects to police work and the general opinion of the job is "you just go round looking for people to nick".

Back to my usual tone: YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPER!!!
