But I'm a real cowboy!
Had beers with the team after work today and then came home and drank a saison brewed by a dude I work with

It was so good

Now I'm just hanging out with my dog, loving life. I've worked 11 days straight but still feels good

Playing in a rugby game where it's Constables vs Sergeants and above. I'm the only Special as well. Time to make friends and abuse senior officers, then probably get drummed out of the service because I'm the epitome of a disposable police officer.

We usually have 2 officers on duty except for a slight overlap on evenings where have 3 or 4 on duty.

The town next door has 1 officer on duty and sometimes none.

That idea scares me, when I'm on it's never alone and if we ask for backup it usually arrives within 90 seconds. If you push the 'party button' for a serious incident like an officer getting a shoeing then you can easily have 100 officers there within 5 minutes. It must affect your risk assessment every time you turn up to a job when you know that no one will turn up if you get a knife to the chest.

Just got out of my mock Sergeant's exam. Was bloody hard! 3 hours and 150 questions. Fingers crossed!

In my force you're usually operating within another force's area so the speed you get back up varies. In one area we can export incident logs over so it can be quite quick to get back up. In another area we have to dial the same number as members of the public so it can take upwards of 10 minutes...

My dept went to a fight/stabbing earlier in the summer and the 2 officers on duty ended up having to fight with several people. No help came even after the dispatcher tried calling several agencies in the area, whose own one or two cops were tied up on their own things.

It's another world for sure, nothing like the first dept I ever worked for where you'd have a dozen cops backing you up within a minute of calling for help.

I literally dialed 911 once on my personal cell phone to get backup from the county.

Edit- get lost, sergeant scum. No stripes or bars allowed in the lounge.

Cops in trouble for photos on sexy Instagram account

Female police officers from across the country are posting pictures of themselves in uniform alongside sexy pictures out of uniform onto Instagram. Some NYPD officers are getting disciplined for it.

The Instagram account is called Blueline Beauties. It is filled with pictures of female police officers wearing their uniforms next to sexy selfies. NYPD officers are in trouble with top brass.

NYPD policy prohibits members of the police department from posting pictures of themselves in uniform on social media unless at official ceremonies.

The department issued this statement saying the policy "is in part intended to protect officers from divulging identifying information on social media sites that may endanger officer safety."

Retired NYPD Captain Peter Moreno said the policy protects officers from becoming targets. He also said that the flirty pictures could also be used against the officers.

But some are wondering what is the difference between these cops in sexy poses and the FDNY calendar for charity? Is it a double standard?

Moreno said police officers' "credibility is often called to task in court." He said a police officer's credibility may be called into question by photos like these.

The NYPD officers will reportedly lose some vacation days as part of their discipline.

The power of the red button is immense. Don't think we have numbers quite like yours but in the right time the response is great. Every man and their dog come out the woodwork for such events.

When cops in the marine unit divert (in uniform, not wet suits) to the helicopter its a good sign of winning.

Look at the be-lipsticked harlots in that Fox News clip, being all sexy with their...uhhh... t-shirts and flirty smiles. You really can't trust the integrity or credibility of women like this:





I thought it was going to be some Carol Shaya level stuff, not cops in normal friday night dinner attire. If their departments have a ban on posting photos in uniform to social media then OK whatever, take em down.

Edit- Someone please post dude pics from the Blueline_beefcakes instagram, the news mentioned it but didn't show any photos. I need to see those. For science. Or you can post your own pic. I promise I won't report you if you're hot.

I'd smash the back legs off the one in the T-shirt. That's a normal 6/10 but a Police 9/10, detectives would be on that like flies on poo poo.

I was on when 2 female officers were getting bottles hoofed at them a few weeks ago, the red button got pushed and I was half a mile away writing notes in a police station. I've never seen so many officers, many of whom whinge and bitch about a 5.4 beep test, sprint that half mile to help their fellow officer. Nice to know that no matter how hosed the police service in England is, you're mates still have your back.

We also seem to have some sort of romance going on with our local paramedics, they are all hard as nails and work incredibly hard and any time one of them get's in trouble even the unmarked reporting cars cut a dash to look after them. I guess with the fire brigade hating us so much it's just nice to have some friends sometimes.

I figured out what the "red button" is from context and that sounds pretty neat.

Very true. I don't mind so much when folk kick off with police, I can understand it. When it's with ambulance, that ain't cool.

I live in a town of 40k. We run a minimum of 4 officers plus a supervisor. Some days we have 5 or 6 and a supervisor. Between 2100 and 0100 we have 2 shifts of dudes on the street during overlap.

I can't even imagine 12 cops showing up to anything.
