File Name: ACPO Guidance on Policing of Public Sexual Activity File Submitter: Lord Vader File Submitted: 28 Feb 2011 File Category: Information ACPO has produced guidance on policing Public Sex Environments - areas where legal, consensual sexual activity takes place. Historically the police service has done a poor job of dealing with such matters in a way which acknowledges that in most cases no offences are committed. As a result, some sections of the community, particularly the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender sections, have had a raw deal. This guidance (reprinted by the Met into a handy leaflet) sets out the ACPO guidance. Very useful information and so…

Hi, just wondered if anyone knew if Derbyshire had a BMI max for passing medical Surely a BMI over 30 is acceptable Having looked through the main forums the responses on Bmi it seems there is so many mixed comments from, its got to be under 30 and others saying they got in with a BMI of 33 i think i read on one.

Derbyshire Constabulary have got a brand new swanky website! Features look pretty similar, but the layout looks great in my opinion.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-12047574 Two police officers and a lorry driver have been taken to hospital following a collision on the ring road in Derby. A Derbyshire Police spokeswoman said the police patrol car was responding to an incident when it collided with a lorry just before 0200 GMT. The crash happened at the junction of Burton Road and Warwick Avenue. The police officers and lorry driver were taken to Royal Derby Hospital. Derbyshire Police has appealed for any witnesses to get in touch.

Got a letter from recruitment yesterday, which contained good news :D. My application, is to be progressed to the assessment centre stage, as soon as I have signed, and returned an agreement, to wear long sleeve shirts, due to tattoos. I'm really pleased, as this means my competency questions were accepted :D. Six hoours of thought paid off I guess, lol. Anyone else applied recently?

Hi everyone, Could anyone advise me of what to expect at one of the familiarisation events that Derbyshire Constabulary will hold shortly? Also would it be advisable to attend in business attire? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm back...after PSD scared us all at training. Now serving in C-Div, first shift was 4th December and I've loved every duty since! I'm working with a cracking bunch, everyone's been supportive and helpful and the majority of the Reg's want to take us out and teach us. (still have to make the brews though!) So Hello everyone i know on here from before - and Nice to meet you to the new kids I don't know. That is all
