What are the ski-ing policies (if any) in place whilst serving as a police officer? Do the bosses mind, due to the chance of injury, or do they not really mind? Have any of the constabularies that you know of got ski teams and do they ever hold competitions? Waiting on a start date for Northern (scotland) and have a trip bookedd in February so terrified of doing myself some damage. Rest assured I'll stay off the snowboard this year and stay away from the jump parks.

There is a shortage of vehicles in D and C, and this would be one way of solving a problem. The people who apply will not receive any payment, but will get driver training, and will be doing somethin…

Police Monkeys A tourist visiting a far away country in the heart of god knows where (possibly Middlesbrough), walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a Police Sergeant walked in and said to the shopkeeper, I'll take a Traffic Patrol monkey please." The shopkeeper nodded, went over to the cage at the side of the shop and took out a monkey.
