Police Officer Medics

Interested to hear about any police officer medics out there. I know BTP London have some ‘police medics’, but not sure what this actually entails. How common is it for UK police officers to be dual-trained? Are those police medics qualified as EMTs or paramedics, or a lower band, like emergency care assistant? I imagine most new PCs get first aid. Is it basic, like most workplaces, or is it more advanced and trauma based? Like stab wounds, car crash injuries etc. Seems like s good idea Thanks.

Personal Safety/Officer Safety Instructor Training

A bit of help. I am looking at having a couple of Cathedral Constables train up as PST/OST instructors so that we can qualify officers in the south east of the country, as opposed to sending them to Liverpool as we currently do. I have purchased the equipment we need with a view to bringing Instructors from the north to deliver the training, but the next logical step it to have our own qualified instructors for the SE. Does anyone know the cost of the Instructors course, duration, any providers in the SE region?

Hi all, Wondering if anyone taking the exam in 2018 has a good schedule/revision timetable for revision? I used Police Pass last year and missed by 1% but I found it really useful to have a timetable. I havent seen one released this year for Blackstones so I'm just going off the free Police Pass one. Just curious to know if people have one?

During another few discussions with friends, family and colleagues, we stumbled across the topic of CoP's Fast Track Programme for Serving Constables, so after having searched the current topics and being unable to find one similar, I thought I'd start one for discussion. Does anyone have any experience with this current scheme, whether it be as a candidate or as someone who has worked with one of the candidates? What are your experiences, and the pros/cons?

The College of Policing has today published a series of reports looking at leadership and integrity as part of its ongoing work to build the evidence base around what works in policing. The reports, commissioned in 2013 by the national policing leads for professional standards and police ethics, followed a series of high profile cases and national reports which raised questions about the integrity of the police and the role of senior police leaders. The purpose of the programme was to enable the profession to take ownership of these issues. Chief officers wanted to understand better what factors might lead to problems emerging, highlight ways of promoting ethical …
