I've had a brain meltdown relating to PNDs that I'm sure you could help me with... With your run-of-the-mill Sec 5 POA PND, you see the offence being committed, do your person checks to establish if the suspect is eligible for a PND and, if he is, issue him a PND which, hopefully, he accepts and endorses. Your aggrieved is the Queen or Regina, so all that's required is a crime report and a quick statement from you which you write on the back of the PND. What happens if it's theft or criminal damage and you do have an aggrieved - a shop, an individual or a council? Is a statement needed from the aggrieved in this instance? PNDs were rolled out to reduce paperwork...so…

I dont know what the official line for this is but here goes. You are off duty and going shopping with your wife and child. You park up in the car park of a large shopping complex and notice a child of around 3-4 sitting in the car alone, You wait for around 5 mins to see if a parent has gone to a ticket machine etc. But alas no one has returned? What is the correct thing to do?

Hey, I have a severe problem with my postman. Last week he refused to hand me my package although he was already at my door (it was too big to fit through the letter box). So I complained about him to his supervisor. I told the supervisor that I was partially dressed and wasn’t going to answer the door half naked, especially at this time of year. I stated that I opened my window and asked him to wait a few seconds to allow me to throw on a robe and answer the door, and that he rudely dismissed me claiming to have been waiting a long time. I know this to be a lie as I had put the rubbish out moments before I came back in to have a shower (hence the reason why I was wal…

I've got a 3rd Generation 30GB iPod and it's never had any issues up until now. I plugged it in earlier so that some new songs I got could sync onto it, and it spent ages syncing and then decided that it didn't like syncing anymore so froze. I unplugged it and then plugged it back in again and it has deleted everything off of the iPod and re-formatted itself, leaving me with no music or anything on my iPod. I've got it plugged in again now and it's just not syncing any music or doing anything. I've tried manually re-formatting it again but it's nt making a difference. Anyone got any idea what could be wrong with it?

I have received a letter from a company - CCSCollect.co.uk, claiming they are collecting £470 owed to a previous employer. The letter contains my staff number and the employer's name, and state they want full payment by Thursday 18th before papers are prepared. And nothing else other than the ways to pay. My title is incorrect on the letter and it has come to an address i was not living at when i left that employment 18 months ago. I left on good terms, served my notice but they messed up my pay, and owed me roughly this amount, which they stated i could not have a payslip for as payslips were paperless and on an internal intranet webpage - that i no longer had ace…

hi all, i wonder if i can trouble you for an answer to an office argument.. someone at work was stating they called the police the other day and thought the officer who turned up was the kinda person they wanted to date, the question arose can police date people they meet through work!! none of us know the answer and shockingly only have the bill as reference!! just want to add that the person who called is happily married and infact was old enough to be the officers parent! one of those "if i was 20 years younger" comments and we all wondered the answer. thanks

Hi guys, I am just putting this thread for opinions of whether we should revert to working based from stations or more centralised. I have always been in the firm belief that our nicks should be open 24/7. At the moment many of us are aware not all Police stations are open 24/7. Whilst some are very small there are some in fairly decent sized towns that shut at say 10pm. Now I am familiar with cost effectiveness etc but I do think that we should go back to our Police stations open 24/7. I see it that at my force there are many occasions it would be beneficial to have local knowledge. Anyway your views are welcome but I do feel that stations should be manned and for us …

Hi All Just wondering what your reaction would be in the following scenario, it was a situation that occurred a few months ago. I have an application into the police pending and so I asked myself, how I could of reacted and what action I could of taken, had i been an off duty officer. Following playing football on a mid week night in our local league, me and 2 friends decided to go to our local for a quick shandy before we went home. It is a small, quiet family pub and there was only about 6 or 7 people in with it being a mid week night. There were 2 rough looking gents, sitting on the table behind me and my friends, who didn't seem local. One of them made a phone call…

Hey everyone... I didn't know where to post this so i thought i would try here. I have recently found out that someone i know who is a 29 year old male, has met a 14 year old off the internet, twice, and has slept with her. I went to the police a couple days ago and they said that they can't do anything unless she comes forward. I don't know anything about the girl.. and have only seen her pics on myspace.. also another weird thing.. her profile there states that she is 11? but she tells me she is 14. i have her emails that she sent to him in which she says that she has slept with him.. enjoyed it etc.. but i have nothing else.. she has since ended the "relationship".. a…
