NIE Exam resutls

The NIE exam results were posted to the Met police yesterday via email to those who sat the exam , Congratulations to all those who have passed the first hurdle in becoming a DC

I studied with a group called http://www.policepass.co.uk/
A trio of welsh men that are far better at teaching that playing rugby, or drinking in the pub after , mind you I have now been told that good detectives do not come cheap , thin or sober !

I highly recommend if your doing your part one OSPRE or NIE exam the police pass course is the best there is around.

I am also very pleased to be one of those who passed the exam and I now await my DC's Course as my next step.

Bring on the drink...

Dear Lord, be with me on my beat
this day and every day.
Grant that each weary block I walk,
may ease a brothers way.
Let me be kindly to the old
and to the young, be strong~
But let me triumph over those
whose acts are cruel and wrong.
And if according to your plan,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

Life on mars

Like a flashback of Sam Tyler in life on mars,
If you piss the DCI off expect to become

PCSO STEVE

Oh well..

Good luck Steve, I bet you don't have to fill out 5090's

Shooting

A police officer has been shot dead and another person killed at a house in Shropshire.

West Mercia Police said officers were called to an address in New Park Road, in the Castlefields area of Shrewsbury at 0610 BST on Sunday.

A statement read: "We can confirm two people died in this incident and the Independent Police Complaints Commission has been informed".

A police helicopter was seen over the area on Sunday morning.

The IPCC said it was sending an investigator to assess the scene.

A spokesman said something of a "serious nature" must have happened for the IPCC to have received a referral.

He added that a police officer being killed would be something the commission would be called into investigate.

West Mercia Police are expected to release more details later.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all families concerned.

Red lights

If you think you can run a red light on your pedal cycle anywhere near me, be warned you will get a fixed penalty notice, and if you fail to pay I will come knocking to arrest you for non payment of fines.

This week I found out from the court on my regular visits that 8 of my last issued FPN's for failing to stop at a red light I issued last year to a number of pedal cyclist had not paid the court and failed to show on a summons.

So I applied for a few warrants today and arrested all 8 at their places of work and carted them all off to court. Harsh ? probably but it isn't my fault they chose to ignore the courts of this land. One gentleman employed by a large English bank decided to vent his anger at the magistrate and was found in contempt of court and was taken down to the cells to appear again tomorrow morning when he has "cooled his heels"

I note with interest today on the BBC news again about red lights and cyclists, well boyo's do it around me and expect a ticket.

nuff said.

The results are out

Well this years round of OSPRE part One exam results are here, and I have Passed, let the party begin !


Congratulations to all those who sat in that horrible hall and passed the exam.


Better luck next time to all those looking at a resit ..

Oh dear, does this mean I have to grow up now ?

Roll on the Detective exam later this year !

The way of the gun

As readers of my blog have no doubt deduced that I work in south London the recent shootings have been headline news for the last week.

So are we saying that these young teenagers are running around with guns ? I don't agree

Is it a parental supervision issue ?

Is there any real answer to these awful crimes. I know there is no simple solution and only a multi faceted approach will ever begin to address these issues , but also its worth to note that is not just a black community issue but a whole community issue.

What I do know is that these young men in all likely hood never envisaged that their world would end so quickly and so brutality and no doubt the families are devastated, my thoughts and sympathies goes out to those left behind.

What are your thoughts ?
