Forum Information & Help

I think I might've posted this in the wrong forum. You give someone a PND for minor criminal damage and on another occasion one for shoplifting. Along with creating the CRNs for the offences, I take it that you also need a statement from the criminal damage and shoplifting aggrieved?

My old PC (about 4yrs old) won't recognise my USB stick and it's driving me nuts! I haven't used it for ages and now when I plug in the USB, the little icon comes up in the taskbar but it won't come up in 'My computer' and I can't seem to be able to save anything onto it. I always sign my USB in and out properly. But is there something I'm missing? Is it possible to adjust something in the settings for the USB to be properly recognised? Else my stuff is going to be stuck on there forever! The documents are too big for old floppys and the CD writer has packed up. Any advice would be great. cheers!

Hello all. Anyone know where I might get my hands on a national uniform counties style fleece to keep me warm in this weather instead of the itchy old jumper? Cheers!

a simple one... a civvie finds a firearm outside in a public place, could be replica, could be real in this situation what advice would a police officer give to the civvie? should they call 999? should they call non-emergency number? should they retain the firearm until the police arrive to prevent it getting into the wrong hands? should they guard it until the police arrive to make sure the wrong people don't pick it up? should they immediatly vacate the area?

Right! Somehow I ended up proposing to my girlfriend, who I love very much, and thank god she said yes, I had to ask her Dad first which was worse than anything the police recruitment can throw at you I'm sure. Thing is, she has now turned into a wedding monster/bridezilla, and will not give me a minutes peace. It's my job to find 1st dance songs, I have been on every website going and there is nothing suitable. Suggestions please????? And no Brian Adams/Aerosmith. It has to be fun, loving, and what was it she said before I dozed off. Help.... I'm not a creative person.

Here is one that I am pondering over. You are called to a robbery and you are single crewed. You enter the post office to find a scene that you have a MOP on the floor knocked out, A suspect injured due to his partner in crime shooting him by accident. The suspect now points the gun at you and tells you not to move, However you notice that the injured suspect has dropped his pistol and it is quite close to you. Now do you have any right/authority to try and use the weapon on the floor if the suspect decides to start shooting people or you feel that he is going to kill you. Anyone?

You are on patrol with another non-armed officer in a rail station. You see a male speaking in a foreign, possibly arabic language, fiddling with his rucksack, being threatning and very hostile. The station is packed and some passengers are getting increasingly concerned. What do you do?

I have had this on the forum for the last 2 nights about 12.20am (you would think I would have better things to do at that time I know) This time it took the forum down for over an hour. Here is a screenshot of it I was wondering if anyone else got it, and if there is anything which can be done about it? [/url]

Hi I have a bit of a problem and I cant seem to find the answer as trying to find this information on police websites is like finding the arc of the covenant. I am an Army Cadet Instructor in the Humbersider area as part of the syllabus the cadets have to cover in order to progress they need to receive a talk from one of the statutory services. I cant really see a point in a fire safety lecture as they get that at school quite, ambulance talks are covered in their first aid lessons. However I think they could truely benefit and learn something from a talk by a decent copper. My porblem, I know that in a school I previously taught in they could arrange these things …
