Little guy gets surrounded by 10 "hooded youths" and he draws his baton to defend himself. They obvious hold him again the fence and steal all his kit (radio, CS, stabbie, everything). In this situation and in fear of your life etc wouldn't your hand go straight to your CS gas and hope to get as many as poss then run for it when they can't see?

My work is looking for a new flip helmet and likes the style of helmets he has seen the likes of GMP using and wondered what the most common helmets were that various folk use on the job?

I can imagine this coming up a lot over Christmas!

Hello all, I have been a "lurker" on this forum for quite some time and find the views and opinions expessed on here very interesting and helpful in my various roles as an IMB member and Police Appropriate Adult. I have recently been involved in a case which has now reached its conclusion and wondered what your thoughts and expected outcomes would have been if you were an investigator within the DPS. So here goes!! You have come accross a case where you have reasonable grounds to believe that suspect has been manufacturing substandard luxury retail goods. As you have a mate who has expertise in this field, you ask him to come with you on a reccy to one of the shops th…

Just wondered what this would be.... I was walking home from the pub on Saturday night with my brother and my parents. Long story short, a car came round the corner and headed toward the HUGE puddle which we happened to be standing by. Mum screamed, Dad shouted "F**K off you T**t" and I grabbed my brother and hid behind him for dry safety.... which worked! I obviously didn't get the index of the car, I was hiding from the brown puddle ooze. But had someone got it, is there anything you can do about this. I think we've all heard that this is an offence but is it really? I can only imagine it could be S2 RTA 2 Careless, and inconsiderate, driving: If a person drives a…

A group of guys who know the occupant of the house, knock on the front door. It is opened and they are asked why they are there. They burst in and force their way in. One hits the occupant causing ABH, one pushes the occupant down, common assault. However, one is just part of the group and is only guilty of using force to enter the house? Arrest for using unlawful violence to secrure entry to a premises, ec 6 of CLA? What would you do? Cheers for any help, J

Hi this seems like a simple scenario, You are in the city centre drunk drops a kebab rapper what do you do? You've asked him to pick it up,he refuses.You ask again he refuses.What next? Dropping litter isn't realy a arrestable offence besides i'm sure your custody sgt wouldn't be happy with you bring something like that in. You don't want to back down,so were do you go with this? Seems quite simple maybe it is.

I'm not quite sure what I've done or pressed but when I click on a thread it only shows the first post and all the replies are listed at the bottom as links. This means I have to click on each reply and wait for it to load before I can read it. Anyone know why its doing this and how to change it back

Okay, before you ask, I'll give a sitrep. I'm currently 16, at Sixth form and I've got a CBT licence as well as a 50cc ped to get used to riding a bike. I've been riding for 4 months now and really enjoying it. I know I haven't had much experience but I feel I'm the best (safest) rider out of my friends. I'll be looking to get a new bike when I hit 17 so here's the question. Should I buy myself a 125 when I hit 17 and ride under my CBT for another year or should I get a full licence and buy a 250? I'm currently in favour of buying a 125 so I can progress up the sizes but I don't know if it is just a waste of money and that I should skip the middle man and get a 250 an…

Embarassed as I am to admit it I don't actually know how to post photos in a post on this forum from my computer, can anyone tell me how I go about it cheers

Hello everyone!!!, I have a request from anyone working in the Metropolitan Police-Borough of Westminster. I'm a trainee solicitor attending a law college in waterloo, on the 3rd of December 2009 I met a policeman on my way to college on a C2C train leaving from chafford hundred to London Fenchurch Street. I dont remember the exact time but it was certainly between 9-10.30 A.M. We started talking and got soo engrossed in the conversation(discussing Police powers of Stop and Search under PACE and the Terrorism Act) that I almost missed my stop at Westham, in the haste of getting out of the train I forgot to ask his name or phone number. I have since been trying to fin…

Hi guys, can anyone quickly let me know the correct way to apply a rear stack with the quick cuffs. I have managed to find a picture, just need confirmation it's the correct way. If the cuffs are growing out of the palm then i know it's a rear stack, but is that for both hands? Cheers, J
