met1 15 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I really don't think these videos are helpful, they just give fuel to those who love to moan day in and day out. personally I've had enough of the constant moaning by officers reminiscing on the good old days! the simple fact is that policing has changed forever! whether labour come into power or not, those that don't like it can find other jobs! i realise it's hard as most other jobs require qualifications, however you can retrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that police officers don't have qualifications? well all the moaners and groaners I speak to give not having any qualifications as an excuse not to leave the service, I'm mean I'm not saying all! remind me what qualifications do you need to join the police???

Enjoy the job? I read negativity about the job every day on these forums... Officers complaining about the job, officers hating the job and officers quitting the job. Yet I'm still desperate to join... So desperate that I'd take a £4K per annum pay-cut from my current job to do so. Am I an idiot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Jones + 1,103 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 remind me what qualifications do you need to join the police??? I don't know what the current requirements are for becoming a PC. But just because you don't need, for example, a degree, that doesn't mean that a PC doesn't have a degree. I'm sure many officers will also have pre-policing experience in other industries too which may be just as useful as a qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wanting to sound cheesy, I want to make a difference. Edited August 11, 2015 by TheFlomeister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
