Send us a postcard 2.

Offender 1 has been convicted for a series of serious offences. He is classed as what we would called a nominal. He is a prolific and priority offender. He has warning signals for weapons (that means he usually carries a knife or other weapon) violence (that means he is violent and will use any level [...]

Send us a postcard.

Well the next time you go off for a spot of annual leave, that you will have booked up to a year in advance after the lottery of dealing with minimum staffing levels and trying to fit in with the rest of your colleagues…………please, please, please bear a small thought in mind for our overworked [...]

Putting on a show.

Well the kids arrived from schools all over the County to see the brave boys and girls from the emergency services doing their bit at the County Emergency Services open day. Good for citizen focus and promoting the brand within the realms of those we can impress with our own style of portrayal of what [...]

You couldn’t make it up.

It seems that Police Dogs can be scary. Some times at least.
I presume this is not the cuddly but somewhat hyperactive little springers or cocker spaniels, the sociable but eternally affable labradors often used in the realms of drugs and explosives detection work. I can only assume that this is aimed at the larger and less understood [...]

The astonishing proposals were designed as ‘national standards for local policing’ in England [...]

Actions and consequences.

With the numbers of people in the country being killed or injured by the use of knives, the politicians and other prominent public figures come out and publicly portray the concerns of the nation at these worrying events. For the families and friends of those killed or injured, they also become victims, not of the [...]

In the real world…………..a bigger picture exists

At the CTCC we have a new, very important and wonderful position that appears to be just what the Constabulary needs at the moment. At £60 + thousand a year, generous allowances and its own parking place, along with the comparable Ch-Supt  status, is it any wonder that any amount of applicants were in line for a seat [...]
