I've got a couple of spare invites if anybody's interested.

This hasn't actually happened, but I was discussing this in the pub last night. You arrive at the scene of an alleged assault, whilst there, you see someone who is know to you, and is a likely candidate to be the offender. Can you get them to take a seat in the back of your police car, whilst you call CCTV / witness to get a description (i.e. not under arest?), or is this an unlawful detention......?

Hi there, this should be pretty simple for the experienced among you, but I'm currently in training and am a bit confused: You're off duty and see a male take an item from a store shelf and semi-shove it up their sleeve. At what point do you announce yourself as the Police/arrest for the theft? either: a) as soon as the item is being stuffed up the guy's sleeve; or b) wait for the the guy to step outside the store so they've literally "appropriated" the said item? (this is what i'm inclined to think, but not quite sure, as you risk losing sight of the suspect etc) and then nick 'em thanks very much in advance officers

I am now looking for a different Police charity that accepts credit cards. The one i used to pay into does not accept credit cards as it hasn`t the means to use this facility.

Here's a nice light one for a Wednesday afternoon Unknown suspect enters a dwelling house via an insecure window. Property is removed from inside the house and subsequently discarded in the rear garden of the premises. House-to-house proves negative, so at this stage there is no indication that the offender/s were disturbed. Is the property stolen and discarded? Or, having not deprived anyone of said property, is this an offence of burglary dwelling with intent to steal? Ladies and gentlemen, it's over to you. (I've been discussing this with the boss for a while now and we still don't agree).

I was watching Road Wars this afternoon and wondered about some of what I saw. There had been a complaint made by an MoP about drug dealing going on in a park and after finding out exactly where this was going on (by spying through a hedge) the officers decided to arrest two of the customers after they had bought drugs. Shortly afterwards the two officers are back in their vehicle driving to where they expect the two suspected drug users/buyers to be. As soon as they reach them the officers jump out, and straight away the suspects both put something in their mouths. Both officers then attempt to prevent the suspects from swallowing the drugs and we are told by the voic…

Hey Guys, I am still really new to the forum so would just like to say hello! A bit about my self. I am 20 and currently working as a PCSO, however before this I served some time as a Special Constable while working in a Police CCTV Control room. Before that I was in security. Recently I have just passed my assessment centre to join the regulars with an Home Office Force. I have just started looking in to the CNC and it looks very interesting. I have contacted them about transferring applications and they stated they would accept mine. I am just a bit torn now as to transfer or not? Anyone got any advice? Thanks,
