Insight into a ‘response officers everyday shift’ by shadowing an inspector and sergeant? That’s really gonna be accurate and reflective of a PC’s life 🙄
Inspectors sit in offices- they do NOT go out and do any policing at all. The only time a Response Inspector appears on the streets is in the aftermath of a major incident. for the purpose of scene management. The higher up you go up the promotional ladder in the police, the less work you do and the more politics you play. It's ALL about whether your face fits, using the right corporate 'soundbites,' and of course- brown nosing senior ranks above you. They promote Yes men and women for the most part, rock the boat and you will not get any promotion within the job. I saw some utterly useless Sgts and Inspectors during my time- you wouldn't follow them to the pub, let alone in a dangerous Public Order scenario. Some of them would struggle to make the rank of Lance Corporal in the British Army, and yet through a combination of politics, blowing their own trumpet, and brown nosing, some of these useless articles get promotion- based off passing an exam and a panel interview. The only way to assess ability to lead, is to put individuals in a situation where they have to take command, assess a problem, come up with a solution and then lead a group to solve the problem. The British Army selection for officer's does EXACTLY this with command task tests. There is no place to hide, you cannot bullshit, you can either demonstrate leadership potential or you cannot. The RCB is superb selection process and I have felt for years that the police need to adopt part of the RCB process. Give candidates a coloured bib with a number and present them as an individual with a command task. Eg "You and your team must cross this minefield without touching the ground between the two lines of white tape. You have 4 ammunition boxes, 3 planks of wood and 4 toggle ropes. You have 15 minutes to brief your team and carry out the task. Carry on........" When you are put on the spot and you are under pressure from close observation/scrutiny, it very quickly sorts the wheat from the chaff. Can you problem solve? Can you communication clearly and confidently? Can you multi-task/prioritise? How do you communicate and motivate personnel? Can you delegate? Are you willing to ask for ideas from within your team? Can you cope with pressure? I'm convinced that many of the people I saw walking around with pips on their shoulders in the police, would flounder and fall apart in such a scenario. Most of them I saw were completely self-centred and all they cared about was climbing the greasy pole of promotion. The last Inspector I worked with was a complete coward, had no inter-personal skills (Definitely ON THE SCALE!) and he didn't understand some very basic points of law- he was stealing wages basically. The police service suffers from very poor management, a woeful lack of resources, a chronic lack of professionalism and is virtually devoid of discipline- standards are LOW along with staff morale. If the public were actually aware as to how poor the police service is, they would be up in arms.
Policing is an appalling, soul destroying, poorly paid, badly resourced job. Served for 16+ years, detested it and binned it in 2014- best move I ever made. Badly managed- runs on a culture of bullying from the top down. Frontline staff are treated like shit on the bottom of somebody's shoe. You do NOT get Inspectors on Response going out policing- EVER! This is just propaganda. Inspectors sit in offices playing with bar charts and stats and shuffling paperwork- as do the vast majority of Sgts. Senior officers are largely invisible to the staff at the sharp end, Superintendents are rarely seen outside Ivory Tower HQ. Everybody I still have comms with in Merpol detests the job and they are counting the days until they retire. I wouldn't permit a dog to join the modern police service, it's abysmal. The woeful lack of experienced staff in the front line is very apparent. This very evening, I have watched a number of videos on YT posted by MoP who were dealt with by Merpol staff. Some of them are completely ignorant of their powers- basic things like which section of the RTA gives them the power to stop a motorist on the public road and request their details. Failure to understand when staff should notify MoP that they are using their video camera- one Merpol officer when challenged about that by a MoP spoke a lot of nonsense, effectively saying, "I don't need to tell you the camera is on because it's not a domestic." Utter nonsense! I was appalled by the lack of basic knowledge of police powers and procedures, and in some instances- sheer rudeness and sarcasm of staff when dealing with the public.
But your still happy to take taxpayers money. For an unskilled job (which policing is) that requires 0 qualifications it is very well paid with a great pension. So shit the fuck up.
I put in a complaint about a superintendent involving peverting the course of justice. I received an auto reply from head of PSD saying she was away and referring to two others. One was the superintendent that i had a complaint in about. How does that work i wonder (she said sarcastically). PCC office not interested in any wrongdoing, they just claim that they dont deal with 'operational matters'!!!
Complete propaganda! You will never see an inspector and sergeant doing response work in real life. Speaking from many years as a police officer in the 80s and 90s. Much less so in the present day.

Interesting video but found the music really irritating, distracting & actually unnecessary …
Why an inspector and sergeant? How about a PC? 🤷🏻♂️

Have you any proof that you were an officer?
Question do some people join the police to bully people?
