Please tell me I am not hearing things + that our CAD operator did just say 'Eh by Gum' over the airwaves! God bless Yorkshire!
@WYP_SBarberini I 09ed male for sexual assault for similar. Shouted 'FAT PIG BITCH' at female PC colleague & then grabbed her bottom. Not on

@PartTimePlod 😂...that twat made me laugh out loud 😂
ARE YOU ALLOWED TO EAT ON DUTY? Yes, I'm also allowed to give sarcastic responses to stupid questions from the public. Awaits complaint.
@GatelinePlod He's acting. In more ways than one. Idiot. Yes, it will do. Why not spend the money training SC on computer systems instead?

@GatelinePlod Of course. One in my force has already pointed out he could fold new rank boards over to hide SC + look like a FT officer...
I'd pay good money to watch a S/Insp try + tell a Custody Sergeant what to do + get launched out of custody block. Do some of them some good
Some of our stupid Special Sergeants + Inspectors appear to be looking forward to new rank boards. One just pointed out you can fold SC down
When asked to leave area by colleague, don't complain about it to me + refer to him as FAT BLACK MONKEY. You'll get locked up #freelegaltips
Ring caller. NOW WAS LIKE 3 HOURS AGO. I AIN'T BACK FROM PUB SO YOU AIN'T SEEING ME NOW. COME BACK LATER YEAH. Your every wish is my command
Words HARASSMENT + FACEBOOK in first line of log, coupled with CALLER STATES WON'T MAKE AN APPT AS SHE PAYS OUR WAGES. WANTS TO BE SEEN NOW.
@robodoc1975 Fortunately I'm not that far north. Not quite anyway. But I can imagine. Probably all but serious offences overlooked.
@robodoc1975 I think certainly when resources are very low, good SCs are seen as being 'adequate enough' to be single crewed.
@robodoc1975 That's fairly common. Sickness, cell watches, scene watches, prisoner handover, hospital watches all take officers off patrol
No scene or cell watch but there is a prisoner in the traps to deal with, so now down to three officers. All single crewed at the moment.
Another shift as single crewed Special Constable starting. Sgt asked if I minded. Do I have a choice? You have four officers inc me for area
Other plus to probationary PC was a seemingly never ending supply of jelly babies + flirtatious comments. Always makes shift go quicker!
