police...

First of all, sorry if this isn't in the right area...but I was wonderi if there was any police officer's on here, as I want to become one, but have few Q's to ask...

I AM THE LAW!

maybe ask anyways and people will have the answers

I would talk to the career counsellor at your school (even if you've left). They will likely know of a liaison officer at the local station. Failing that, just call the local station (non-emergency number of course), and ask if they have a liaison officer. If not, ask if there is anyone you can talk to about recruiting. The emergency services and military are buggers to recruit for, so they will almost certainly have someone (or even a team) responsible for it.

That way you'll know their answers are a bit more reliable (if a little more biased) than any bulls*** you'll get from strangers on the intertubes.

Oh, okay's it's just I want to be a cop, but I don't know if there is a point anymore as
a)I don't agree with the justice system
b)I dont like the public, well to a certain extent, and I think I will end up beating somebody up...
c)You can't do nething, cuz the system doent work, eg the rich get away with murder, whereas, people who barely do anything bad, get year's...
d)Is there too much paperwork? or is that a myth?
e)Have you been sued?
f)Loads of people pull the 'race' card...

ok some are statement's but do you think i should carry on with my dream, or forget it.

Also does anyone know any jobs to do with drugs, apart from a nurse, and doctor

Any suggestings to do with volunteer work?

thanks x

Well, from what you've said there, I think you'd make a bloody terrible police officer, if you don't mind my frankness. I'd be upset if you turned up on my door. Let me respond to you point by point.



This is a pretty bad start for someone wanting to enforce it.



Liaison with the public is a huge part of police work. You often require the co-operation of the public, and if you hate them and they hate you, you won't get it.



The system doesn't work, because...



A lot of the time cases depend on their being an accurate and honest recount of events. Lazy cops who don't understand that paperwork is an important part of their job can completely foul up a hope of prosecution by filing crappy reports.



Mostly the cops that beat up the public because they hate them (see B) get sued.




Because loads of cops are racist, bigoted a*****es. Not all, probably not even a majority, but enough.




Forget it, or get a major attitude readjustment and then try to change the system for the better.



Wait, you want to join the police force because of the proximity to drugs? Am I missing something that makes this a good thing?



Doesn't the UK now have those special public constables? You could give that a go and see if you can control those itchy fists and smile when you aren't really happy.

Sounds like you really haven't given this much thought.

Why thank you Jonnythan...
the drugs thing was all about the fact, that one day I wanted to end up on the drugs squad, you know fighting against it...etc

I liked my answer the best.

yeah? Well I liked my answer longest.

Fixed it for you.

I was just going with the flow of today's posts. i.e. Nonsensical.

Hi i would like to become a police officer but i am stuck on the question about getting
involved with a bullying situation as i have never been in that situation what should i do?

Skip being a police officer and be a vigilante.
