Today is my 2 year wedding anniversary, and he’s an a day shift and I’m on a late. However you feel about the Police, please remember, we’re human beings too, and all we want is to go home to our loved ones at the end of every shift in one piece.

@DC_Defective I used to work in Sex Offender Management and felt these tweets in my soul. I’m going back after 4 years away, because there is nothing as rewarding than this sort of work for me. It’s horrible to see this type of crime, but the best to defeat it. Great work you and your team

@SWales_FedChair 1/2 Academia does have a place in policing in my opinion, but it’s too much to ask when new into the service, and we won’t get good results from it as they don’t understand policing enough yet. I think we should give them training to be competent in their role

@SWales_FedChair I think the question is why we want officers to have degrees. If we want officers to contribute to EBP, become educated problem solvers, I honestly believe experience is needed before they can achieve this, rushing through with too much pressure won’t, and instead just tick boxes
