GM would you really want the Early learning Centre to come out and assess us? Yeh, OK there are some who need sorting out, but let's face it we take the procedures and all the other proclamations and make them work in the real world. This is because the ELC and the other REMFS don't have a clue abou...

Oh come on RT, there is a much chance of snow as there is us being first on scene at a fatal/serious

Hmmm a very good question RT!!! I guess from my point of view it is down the the circs of any incident. I will freely admit I have sometimes pushed the boundary's but there comes a point when the limit of training and/or previous experiences lead me to conclude I am likely to cause more harm than go...

£190,000 on a bridge to save dormice? But we can't find money to buy the best drugs for people? We cannot give our troops the kit they need or look after them or their families when they get wounded or killed? We cannot afford a police force to do all we or they want?

Well I don't know what the legal definitions are but asking someone to wait does not seem to me to be the same as detaining them??

As for training...don't remember anything specific...but then we were all chosen for our interpersonal and communication skills so guess that covers it

Thanks SNAFU, i have to admit the info we had coming from the HA (in the early years) was that you guys and girls would deal with all pedestrians, it did surprise us in the fact people that end up there aren't always in the right mind, but we also pointed out the fact that debris we treat as an a i...
