*national-PCSOs

Im glad to say that this time next month i shall no longer be part fo the organised chaos that has policy that states " Police officers and staff should take suger from all MOP and have less protection and rights than mop" ( well at least that what happens in real time!) im joining the ambo service!...

By the looks of it, that could be anyone of us. It looks like he was outside with the bloke who could have been for all we know could have been anti social and the PCSO follows him into a shop and produces the knife. Good effort i say.

I find that primary communication and being honest would usually work have a laugh with then if it allows and they will chill out more and not try to 'prise some sort of tension out of you, if they get cofrontational or funny, just walk away and keep your body worn camera on, so you can film him fil...

I wonder where the reporter got that conflab from, lets describe the role in real terms shall we: over used, abused, police resource with no support going to job and to job in times of cuts.

"we are policed by consent" I hate that nonsensical namby pamby word! lets never hear that phrase on this forum again. I know Thersea May likes it,but in the in UK we police with the Law and legislation! If people dont like it then, Consent means to gain approval or ask, we dont ask if we can arrest...

This whole " no specific intel" malarkey is just a way of saying that no one has anymore more resources or police budget to throw at it. Do you think they will politely do a coded call to the police before they blow themselves up or shoot people like the IRA did before they bombed? i dont think so.

So do you want a gun? Bit of a daft response. Of course not. But as many other colleagues in my force have agreed, we currently have little or no way to defend ourrselves against any person who intends do do one of us harm. Intelligence has specifically identified threats towards members of the arm...

smiples, mens rea, actus rea

Rubbish, if for whatever reason a pcso doesnt have the card on them when asked by MOP, tell them to phone the force on 101 and speak to a sgt who can verify.
