General Policing Discussions

hi everybody, im new and just found the site, im looking for some help if possible, im a security dog handler and not sure of the new powers that have been given to "any persons", my question is, are there any books about that goes into detail about this (like the blackstones) that pay more refrence to any persons powers as opposed to police powers? many thanks

Incredible. Just watch.

I've been reading a few articles on the Scenario bit of the site and I just have a few questions in relation to some topics ive seen about submitting intelligence. So basicially where do we as Police Officers, PCSO's etc stand on submitting intelligence reports for incidents that have happened whilst off duty? Such as the example on the Scenario part about a moped or something driving erratically.

Hi, I saw this, (http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/22321) which was recently created. Unlike many of the policing petitions of late I think this one is eminently supportable and that the officer (Sergeant Nigel Tompsett) has actually had the guts to stick his face and name to it. All he asks is that MPs debate the issue and that the Home Secratary not be allowed to change the terms of the deal some officers have been paying into for nearly the last 30 years. It's worth noting, that Britain has never defaulted on it's soverign debt and along with the US is one of the only countries to ever do so. Now, if we can always find enough money to pay our loans we can …

I know it has been discussed but don't know if how was mentioned. I know of a serving S/Sgt who has the luck of going to New York, she mentioned that she would love to do a shift, and I was sure that people here had managed to do something along those lines. So question is how do we get the ball rolling for her? Does anyone have existing routes or contacts? Thanks

Syed v DPP 2010 Concern for welfare is too low a threshold to force entry under s17(1)(e) of PACE <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The new case law above is worrying-It's all about the "life and limb" element of S.17. The ramifications appear to be serious- I am thinking elderly trapped behind closed doors unable to give consent etc....I won't go into it in detail but we have just been drastically reined in:( HMS

FACEBOOK The bane of my life and I'm sure it's the same everywhere else. Facebook jobs seem to crop up all the time now and it's almost always some pathetic squabble where both parties have some serious growing up to do. Granted, there are some instances of genuine harassment and bullying, which I always deal with appropriately but how many times have we turned up to these sorts of jobs and ended up wanting to bang their heads together? When I was on response I seemed to get one of these incidents at lease once or twice a week and ended up phoning the complainant up and finding out the exact nature of their complaint before deciding whether or not to attend. Most of the…

Hey guys, I have my first moot coming up (a bit like a mock trial) and I have, somehow, become lead counsel. Essentially the moot is about Police powers during public order, kettling and the like. I've been given the role of defending the police. Now, we have various cases that we can refer to, such as the Austin case, but I thought "Hey, what better place to ask for a bit of additional information than right here?". So I figured i'd ask what sort of powers the Police actually have when dealing with Public Order situations, where I can find the legislation for it etc. I'm looking for links to detailed information generally about what can be used, when, from deploying …

Maybe there is a similar thread already in existence, but I can't find it. What is the most obscure offence you've arrested (or otherwise prosecuted) someone on suspicion of? I'll start the ball rolling, I nicked someone for distributing a harmful substance contrary to the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (and the story made it as far as 'The Sun').

I need a copy or sample of a 5 part statement urgently. Can anyone help? If you do not have a sample then a guide in writing one will suffice. Regards

Oh dear!... Link Grr, it didn't work... This is what I was trying to post: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-15734952

This popped up on my Facebook feed... I wonder what happened here. Hope all is ok! I think its GMP but not sure?

Found this on a blog i was reading, pretty shocking. Im sure its been discussed before but for my benefit, and any others who haven't seen it, does anyone know any background about it? When it was? Were the people responsible caught?

I passed my day2 today........ omg what a roller coaster ride it has been ??
