So you're sent down to the local supermarket who wish to report that someone has been scanning expensive items through the self-service checkouts as fruit and veg as it's cheaper. What offence would you record, and if the offender was still present what would you do with them? I've got my own thoughts here but I'm interested to see what others say.

I was at my partner's house when one of his housemates comes running up the stairs shouting that an intruder has just walked in and was following her up. By the time I had jumped out of bed and come around from the confusion, he was stood at the top of the stairs chanting all sorts of nonsense, with his hands in his pockets. I am an army reservist and had travelled to my partner's house straight from drill night, which I have every Tuesday. As part of my equipment I have a utility knife with a non-fixed blade. I immediately grabbed this and phoned 999 (it took quite a while to get through to the police unfortunately, budget cuts eh...) whilst warning him off. I kept …

So, you're a male officer and you've arrested a female at front counter. She appears calm, polite and friendly. You take her to custody and due to there being a lot of detainees in front, there is a very long wait to be booked into custody. The female announces she has mental health problems and has just left hospital where she was given some medication to help calm her down. After waiting an hour to book in, she suddenly stands up and starts shouting. She starts screaming loudly saying she's fed up of waiting. She then says the medication has wore off and she demands more. She continues shouting but this turns to high pitch screams. You're calm approach telling her to ca…

Hi everybody, Father has 100% custody of a four-year old child and agrees to let the Mother (who is eight months pregnant) takes the child away for a three/four days. At the end of the period messages the Father to advise that she has moved address and will be keeping the child. Have any offences being committed or would this be classed as a Civil Matter as she may have Parental Rights and be classed as a VP due to the Pregnancy? Thank you, M

Hello all I'm still within my 2 years probation and wanted to ask a few questions about Domestic incident: TVP's policy is to take a proactive approach, therefore we are a little more keen to arrest if it results in a victim getting protection for up to 24h, or at the least a chance to find somewhere else to be while we're present. On arriving to a domestic, what is my power in relation to dealing with a suspect who refuses to leave the address. Lets say it's a couple who've argued, the victim states they're unhappy or uncomfortable being left and the suspect won't leave the address. They've verbally argued, there's been no physical conflict as best we ca…

KINGHAMS is an Auction House specialising in livestock. WILSON is a breeder with a prize bull whom he wishes to sell at auction. WILSON decides with WARNER to inflate the price at auction by having WARNER bid against other potential buyers. Are any offenses commited, and if so what offences, at what stage in proceedings and by whom? Additionally, if KINGHAMS was aware of the practice, does this alter things?

You get called to an address of a suicidal male wanting to end his own life. You are asked to attend by ambo due to the fact it was also reported he had a knife. Let's name this suicidal male as Sam, for the ease of the scenario. You arrive at scene first, prior to Ambo, and knock on...no answer.... You knock again a bit louder.... This time you get Sam who opens the door a jar and peeks though. You try and speak to him but you instantly can tell something is not quite right with Sam as he's mumbling and slurring his words telling you to go away. Sam walks back into the house leaving you at the door step and the door still a jar. Out of concern for Sam you…

Mr Marston picks a random person's name, Mr Smith, out of the phone book and proceeds to create a fake Twitter account in their name. Using this account, he tweets a random bookmakers (William Hill) to say that his underage son has accidentally placed a large bet (which lost) on a far-right foreign politician winning the general election and asks for a refund.

Mr Marston then sells his story to a number of newspapers, making quite a substantial sum. Mr Smith notices the article in one of these papers and being quite happy decides to telephone the …

You receive a call about a 14 year old child going missing from home after an argument with his mother. You locate the child walking the streets not far from his home late at night around 2am. You speak with the child who is very defensive and refuses to answer questions simply replying "I don't know" to anything asked. Despite reasoning with them and trying a number of different approaches they are uncooperative. They refuse for you to take them home and you explore other options of where they are able to stay for the night which they refuse to give any information about. They then decide to walk away from you and you follow to continue to try and reason with t…
