Police Scotland

Greenock Telegraph link In the actual paper, Superintendent George Nedley continues "Although undoubtedly the increase in the number of housebreakings is substantial, the figures show this increase is based on previously very low figures. I am keen to reassure the public that we absolutely determined to ensure those responsible are quickly identified and arrested." "Housebreaking is a crime we all fear, but there are a number of different ways you can help to deter thieves." "They prefer to gain easy access to homes, so the harder you make it, the lower your chances are of becoming a victim."

hi constables, im looking to recruit into the specials unit and would be grateful if anyone could give me any advice to getting started.thanks

Anyone else see this tonight? Just happened to catch it by chance. Dominic Littlewood was doing his usual "Rouge Traders" confrontation moment at the end of the show. Normally they confront these guys, they say nothing and then jump in their van and drive off. http://www.five.tv/shows/cowboy-builders/episodes/episode-4-263 Well, skip to 37:00 on the above link and have a watch. Good work I thought. And I never seen that coming!

I know this is a forum for Police specials but I have a few questions and this is a much more active community than other forums. I'm part of the March 2nd intake for the regulars and have started buying my kit. Went to the shop at Jackton and they said on what boots and shoes to buy.

I bought these shoes http://www.sprapol.co.uk/khxc/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodshow&ref=D102K but have been wondering does that bit across the front count as stitching? I assume we will be getting told how to bull etc as well but wouldn't mind trying it out on my other…

arethere any opportunities for special constables to serve in secialist units i.e traffics, support unit etc.

Hi All, I have been a member here for 5 years now ( can't believe time has gone by so fast). I am a former special who joined up and was wondering if I could count on your support. One of our station assistants was diagnosed with Cancer and has just returned to work after being off for approx 1 year. During her time off and during treatment she attended at Maggie's centre in Glasgow. They have helped her loads during her treatment, keeping her spirits up. To cut a long story short, I am going to be doing a sponsored event for her by doing a bungee jump. I will be in South Africa from May this year for 3 weeks and have decided that I will be doing the bungee ju…
