Essex Police

Was in Epc today wanted to catch up on some cbt's, could i remember how to log in to my e learning account tried 5 or so times till i thought i better give up, and go find a trainer i felt a plonker. I don't get on with computers i can wire a sever room but operate a pc is like knitting fog to me just thought i would share it, so if anyone out there thought they were the only one who can not use a computer properly you are not alone . :D edit spelling still wrong

To the Special PC injured (and of course anyone else involved in the RTC in Basildon this weekend) - best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Hi Everyone, Thought i would update you all, I have done 3 shifts now and slowly growing in confidence, wearing the Uniform feels strange and i can not honestly believe how much some people put there barriers up straight away and are uncooperative but am liking it. Will keep you all updated.

As a Member i feel privileged. Wish all those working tonight good luck and Stay Safe. Regards Steve

For those of you on here who haven't heard the rumour; the new, black, wicking shirts have arrived and are flowing through the admin system as we speak. Some have been delayed (the longer fitting ones will follow) I'm looking forward to throwing my iron away! Steve

Well i have my pre reads !!!! i will not be getting bored over Christmas ,well i might but it will not be from having nothing to do . I read the first 50 pages then realised i hadn't really read them, oh dear its been a long time since i have studied for anything .

I'm not sure what's going on here - my original post seems to have disappeared - so I've had to edit my reply to show the orignal post... weird. I thought it would be interesting to ask you where you've decided to go under reform and why. I've looked at the choices for the least-worst option. We're all different and what we want out of the system will be different. It'll be interesting to see what you guys think... ------------------------------------------------------------ The first sign of madness is replying to your own posts! I've looked at all of them and, for me, I'm going to put Operational Support as my first option (response second). Some of this is down t…
