Precisely. Have a training cycle that builds it in, not expect response officers to work debilitating shifts and train in spare time.
Great article. Well worth a read.
One of the greatest officers ever to serve in the @BritishArmy. His approach to #leadership was unorthodox but highly successful. The stories about him are the stuff of legend. Interview courtesy of @Telegraph
🔥🔥🔥 The level of unfairness & disparity regarding the potential lack of LQC for ranks other than chief officers laid bare in this one. It just has to be kicked into touch.
1/n
I have taken the unusual step of writing to the @SP_Justice ahead of its meeting on Wednesday. The issues before it are simply too important to ignore and risk embedding fundamental unfairness, opacity, and exorbitant costs into police misconduct proceedings.
There is an easy way to support fixing this. Build fitness training into police work schedules. If fitness is a component of the job cops should be paid to train
Police spend £1m on oversized uniforms, including XXXXL body armour and 'obese' waist trousers

#TerminalList Season 2 was excellent. They really maintain the feel of the books well. Looking forward to the next season @JackCarrUSA
Don’t listen to Martha. Stock some food, drinking water & make sure you can heat a room and charge a phone for a few days.
'You're so wrong!'
Should we prepare for potential food shortages and power cuts, or is it the Government’s job to protect us?
@IainDale, @Martha_Gill and @CarolineFlint debate.
I attended a misconduct meeting. Before the meeting the PSD Inspector came out of their pre-meet between PSD and panel members and told me ‘It’ll probably be Improvement Action’. They’d pre-decided the outcome before they’d had the meeting.

Not doomsday prepping, just the boring basics: a few days of water and food, a torch and radio, spare meds, a charged power bank, and a written plan for who checks on whom. Storms and power cuts are the realistic emergencies for most households.
Good podcast. Not about doomsday prepping but sensible precautions to get through disruption 👍
Should we all be prepping?
How likely is an emergency and how do individuals and communities prepare for them?

The reaction to General Sir Roly Walker’s comments shows just how easily these stories get distorted.
People flooding replies to reporters like @haynesdeborah insisting they "won't fight" are missing the point. He wasn't hinting at conscription. He meant economic consent: higher defence budgets mean higher taxes and spending cuts to things the public takes for granted.
Personnaly, I think he's talking about the human cost to conflict, too.
Excl. The head of the British Army says Britons must prepare to make sacrifices for war.
Sir Roly Walker made the remarks on Wednesday, telling troops the business of soldiering had returned to the nation's psyche and days of not having to think about war were over @ForcesNews
A ‘must listen’ 👇
🇬🇧 Are Britons ready for the sacrifices needed to strengthen national security?
Speaking to soldiers in Catterick Garrison the head of the British Army warns Britons must face a “frank conversation” about the sacrifices needed for defence and security🔗forcesnews.com/services/army…
The fact that you think routine arming is for firearms tells me you don’t know jack about the threat to UK cops. I’m bored of talking to people who show such bad faith on this issue.
Am a big fan of papers. I do use of force analysis for a day job. Qualified & carried about a dozen weapons systems over the years. Trained shed loads of folk in spontaneous response. The idea that routine arming is somehow right wing is ludicrous. All of western world is armed
I do… and I can read… this was years ago by the way before response cops got to watch more cops get stabbed. And response data not broken out. Do it again today numbers will have increased.
All red herrings. So bored of this old fashioned attitude. If unarmed policing was safe the rest of the world would do it. That no one does says a lot about the hubris of British policing & the lack of care they show cops. Rather they get stabbed
Was worried they’d not be able to recreate the genius of #TedLasso with this latest season. I needn’t have worried. It was awesome…..
