Any police reg experts out there
If an officer is contacted via personal phone on a RD, today for example, via text from resourcing telling them their RD the following day has been cancelled, does this put the officer on duty today (receipt of text) and can they claim anything?
I…. Have no words😶
All the evidence, from the Police Inspectorate and the Home Office itself supports this conclusion. Stop and search does not work in detecting or preventing crime.

I think a key thing to remember here is that if Mr Kaba had stopped his vehicle/complied with police, he’d still be here.
He chose to use that vehicle as a weapon, he created that risk for the officers.
His actions led to the officer making that split second decision.
Whilst the full details aren’t known, this reads really uncomfortably for front line officers.
No wonder cops are handing in tickets and afraid to use force, let alone pursue suspects in vehicles and now even on foot…
Met officers to appear in court on assault charges
Three @MetPoliceUK officers will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court after a man was detained while fleeing on foot following a vehicle pursuit in north west London.

You reap what you sow.
Let this be a message to those still thinking of taking part, and a worry for those waiting for the knock on the door.

Southport, Walton, Rotherham.
Busy few days supporting colleagues on mutual aid.
To residents who stood up to the violence & prevented further damage, thank you.
Those who launched fireworks, piss & whatever they could at us, achieving absolutely nothing, enjoy what’s coming.
Say what you will, this is the best of British policing.
The bravery of these officers being faced by that threat, they remain controlled and calm. A fair few pints and commendations for all involved.
Thoughts are with the family of the young boy killed and other victims.
The moment a suspect was tasered and arrested after a 14-year-old boy was killed in a sword attack in Hainault has been captured by a doorbell camera.

Grieving family member asked me if they could bring the family dog into the room to say goodbye to their owner who had passed away at a sudden death today.
Honestly that broke me.
The constant clashes between frontline police and NHS (hospitals) on Mental Health patients never ceases to amaze me.
I think the introduction of Right Care Right Person in some forces is making partner services feel very uncomfortable… but it’s the right way forward.
If you don’t want police to pursue, just stop your vehicle, which law abiding citizens do when the lights go on.
Surprisingly the ones who don’t stop, have something to hide, do we just let them go and crime go up?

An Introduction to the #EndPolicePursuits campaign
If a pursuit is deemed too high risk, it’ll often be aborted either by the pursuit commander or pursuit manager in a control room.
Often when our lights go off, the subject continues to drive as if they are being chased. We cannot stop that.
Half way through November, so far I have:
- Attended 2 hangings.
- Arrested 9 persons.
- Performed CPR on a baby
- Had to squeeze through human poo to check it for drugs
- Constantly supervised 3 suspects in custody
I’ve worked 8 days in November. It’s just #TheJob
That kick could have been a lot more serious a few inches higher.
Perfectly justified and appropriate use of taser. Well done to the officers.
A significant policing operation is underway for the State Opening of Parliament.
Road closures (highlighted in blue) are already in place in the Westminster area, with strictly no access at 10.20am for the procession.
These include:
⛔ Parliament Square
⛔ Whitehall
⛔ The Mall
⛔ Millbank
We’ll lift the closures at the earliest opportunity but they may be in place for the majority of the day.
