plod blog: A night on the town
http://plod-blog.blogspot.com/2007/05/night-on-town.html
One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Monday, May 14, 2007. A night on the town. With a decent number of officers around (extra staff are drafted in for these peak times) there's also a fair chance we'll get to the incidents in time and with enough pairs of hands to arrest the culprits. Bring on next weekend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Decline in Personal Standards? How Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police in th. A night on the town. Opps, extended absence!

plod blog: Well what happened there, then?
http://plod-blog.blogspot.com/2008/06/well-what-happened-there-then.html
One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Well what happened there, then? Six months without an update. Shoddy. Just no excuse for it. But I've come up with a few anyway. I had a lot going in in my home life, all good things, but it meant I just lost interest in updating the blog. However, things I have changed. It's official, I've become cynical and jaded about the job. It only took two years, though I was never naively optimistic at the start. What started the rot?

plod blog: The other side of the fence
http://plod-blog.blogspot.com/2007/08/other-side-of-fence.html
One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Monday, August 06, 2007. The other side of the fence. John gets nicked for possessing an offensive weapon. I presume the arresting officer would have checked if this chap had a good reason for still having the knife in his bag, and then satisfied himself that there wasn't a good reason. Knife crime has of course been hitting the headlines, again, and I can't fault the officer who made the arrest - I wasn't there so can't see things exactly as he saw them.

One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. So long, farewell. So now we're one down, with another (my pregnant colleague) off in a little over a week. Enter contestant number three. Wednesday, August 23, 2006. It's their outspoken attitude to illegal drugs which causes the job some grief, and the job's attitude to personal opinions that is causing my colleague some sleepless nights. It's been suggested to them by various people in authority that maybe they are not ...

plod blog: November 2006
http://plod-blog.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. I see dead people (again). After my first G5, I then got a trip to the mortuary for a tour. Oh joy. My sergeant has offered me the chance to view a morning's-worth of autopsies, which I politely declined. Do you know what happens in an autopsy? Well, yes, obviously they cut up dead bodies in search of the cause of death. What I mean is, has the process been descibed to you? Tuesday, November 28, 2006. I see dead people.

plod blog: April 2006
http://plod-blog.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Sunday, April 23, 2006. So far, so good. With the third week of training now complete, it actually feels like I'm getting somewhere. The first two were very much an easy induction. Lots of small exercises, learning skills, getting to know eachother etc. No police-orientated learning to speak of, lots of early finishes, and a fair number of students straining at the leash, eager to start learning how to use our shiny new warrant cards. So far, so good!

http://plod-blog.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
One man's experience of becoming a police officer. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. So here it is, my new blog which will hopefully be more productive. It will certainly contain more cynicism, bitching and opinions utterly at odds with the company line. Plod Blog - Version 2. Well what happened there, then? Six months without an update. Shoddy. Just no excuse for it. But I've come up with a few anyway. I had a lot going in in my home life, all good things, but it meant I just lost interest in updating the blog.

The Thin Blue Line. Once a diary of the wild eye adventures of a new police officer, then the new eyes while a Detective and now a Detective Sergeant on a national unit, still seeing the same faces. Sunday, July 11, 2010. You aint seen me, right! I thought I had walked away from blogging,. I thought things may improve as I moved rank and roles,. I thought that the government was investing in the "force",. I thought , I like ice-cream. Only 1 out of 4, is correct. Sunday, July 11, 2010. No Crime - 47.

Thursday, July 10, 2008. Rohm and haas Coupons squawk box becky quick. If so, on what? Clearly it wasn't on pay or better conditions or even tackling crime in the area. Two months away and I can easily see whats at fault. We make the job work. Its like watching Rohm and Haas stock selling for silly money.
