Andy You and yours are what keep our society safe; with out you it would be anarchy. Yes there are some of your colleagues that may well let the uniform down but that’s the same no matter what profession you may like to look at. I think that it is the responsibility of the higher ranks to worm out these people and to deal with them. I personally know 4 officers all from differing backgrounds and without exception they are all good people. I have been told some stories by them that some would like to use to “have a go at them” but what needs to be remembered here is that they are all just normal folks trying to get along in life. For those of you that have been on the wrong end of a bad one I do feel very sorry for you but please look at the bigger picture, where would you go if your house has been robbed, where would you go if your beloved Ducati has been nicked and where would you go if you dear mum has been mugged, and before you go saying that they don’t do anything ask your self why, because there are just not enough officers out there. If that is the case write to your MP and anyone else that maybe relevant. And before anyone labels me as a sycophant I’ve had more than a few run-ins with the old bill and all because I broke the rules, and believe me I was one of the real bad boys. Murray Mint |
