1 year ago I left the police after nearly a decade of service. I didn’t leave because of the trauma, the shifts, or the danger. I left because I wanted to help people — and was actively blocked by the organisation itself. An organisation that: •Breaks the law to chase stats. •Arrests people simply because a call came in, not because there’s evidence. •Coerces officers and punishes those who don’t toe the line. •Promotes people based on PR, not policing. •Treats frontline cops like dirt, ignoring their welfare. It’s left-wing captured — kids put on police systems for things said in online games, just to tick a “hate crime” box. It’s obsessed with quotas: arrests, stop-searches, intel reports. If you arrest, no questions. If you don’t, you’ll have to justify it. This culture breaks good cops. It forces them to put people on pointless bail, knowing cases will collapse. Some are left in limbo so long they take their own lives — all for a spreadsheet. It silences whistle-blowers. I created content in my own time raising awareness of domestic abuse — the early warning signs, the behaviours of abusers. I was threatened with my job if I carried on. Why? Because prevention meant fewer crisis calls. Fewer calls meant fewer stats. The result? Officers’ mental health destroyed. Public safety sacrificed. Justice reduced to KPIs. I didn’t leave because frontline cops are bad. They are incredible — day after day, saving lives in spite of it all. I left because the organisation is rotten. It breaks its own people, it fails the public, and it cares only about what looks good on paper. I wrote a book about it, aptly named ‘The Jobs F*cked - The Secret Diary of a Police Officer.’ mybook.to/ABHB
