Last night all our vehicles were out and about at calls so took the opportunity to walk around our patch. I’ve forgotten how much I’ve missed walking around at night when there is an eerily fog. Even got a “Oi, don’t see you lot wear those hats any more” 😂
🙎♂️“Took your bloody time getting here!”
👮♂️“Sorry the caller refused to provide a location”
🙎♂️“I called you!”
👮♂️“My mistake, you refused to provide us a location”
🙎♂️”I don’t have to give you one”
👮♂️”...yep”
Just arrested a very rude drink driver. Called me and my colleagues every name under the moon saying I’m wasting my time. I wasn’t wasting my time, as confirmed by the station reading of 103 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath 🧐 The limit is 35

Walking back from court I was approached by a victim who had their bag and clothes stolen. Whilst watching playback of the suspect on CCTV I then saw him outside the window 🙋♂️ Arrested, locating almost all the stolen items on them 👌
Slight confession, drove into work yesterday thinking I started at 3. Sat through whole briefing. Get held behind by supervisors...turns out it’s one of these Bank Holiday rest days 🤦♂️😭... Go home...
True friendship is NOT finding a Cop to look after your mate who is paralytic so you can leave them to carry on drinking. When asked what their friends name and address is they replied “Do your F***ing job like I pay you to, I’m off to have a good time”

Another arrest for a drunk in charge and assault emergency worker 🙄 I’ve got some scrapes and bruises but will survive, one in custody. Stay safe see you next set 🙋♂️
It’s been an absolute whirlwind of a 16 hour shift 🙋♂️ From arrest attempts, knife seizures, stop searches, summons for offences, foot chases, warrants and finishing off with CPR. Massive thank you to the off duty ICU nurse that helped us 🙏 stay safe and see you tomorrow.
Had a key witness shouting at me saying the police don’t do anything... Asked for a statement which they declined to give, this means I can’t do anything 🤷♂️

🙎♂️why have you put handcuffs on me.
👮♂️because you’ve assaulted paramedics, punched an ambulance, spat on the ambulance window, threatened me and my crew mate and taken by your own admission spice.
🙎♂️I’m gonna break your jaw, take the handcuffs off.
👮♂️...nope.
