23 December 2015 Police in Camden have worked in partnership with the local council, schools and a business to bring some festive cheer to the elderly in Camden.

Christmas carols were sung by pupils from Carlton School and the Gospel Choir from La Sainte Union School. The event was organised by Camden Borough Police and Camden Council after crime prevention was provided to the elderly earlier this year in a bid to pre…

Ding Ding, MSCON is on the ropes as DutySheet will soon deliver the knockout punch. Will DutySheet be better than MSCON? or do you think MSCON should make a come back? Which one wins.

Hi All, First post so please bear with me. Can anyone tell me if the travel concession that PC's "opt into" with a monthly payment is still going? I know free travel has been stopped with exception of the free travel on TFL. However I am slightly confused as to what this travel concession I have stumbled across is, or whether it is outdated: http://www.met.police.uk/foi/pdfs/disclosure_2012/april_2012/2012030000584.pdf I will be commuting from Milton Keynes, so if it does still exist it would be brilliant!

As the other topic for this was mistakenly titled 2015. thought i would start a new 1 anyone else going to be on this course i know at least one of you are also i got an induction evening at Scotland yard on the 11th of December too

The MSC is being drained of talented officers going into the Regs or simply leaving because we have not access to Level 3 driving or PO level 2 training. What will become of the MSC in the next five years? Will we have powers over Regs? or will the MSC decline further?

'Evening all! I was wondering what you've been advised to do if you come across a 'hoverboard', those new segway style things. Have you been told to seize it/warn the rider etc.?

Well it looks like the role of MSC Managers are coming back again, s this good or bad? The new budget cuts will mean they will be looking at using SCs to replace PCSO, policing without cost. Is this a better or worse future for the MSC the return of MSC Managers.

I'm finding that now the area car on my borough is being used more and more as just another vehicle to respond to the I's and S's. It seems the days have gone when the area car is used simply to get to a call first and take away any immediate danger and let other units do all the paperwork, etc. Are people finding this to be the case elsewhere or is it just me?

Hi, I have been given my training dates and mine begins on the 15th November. I was wondering whether any one else is starting on the same date? If I start next month, should I contact the vetting department as I have not heard back from them so far? Has anyone else heard from them yet? Conor
