I do have a feeling there is a period where people can take a sabbatical or a leave of absence without losing their rank. It may depend on the length of service, but I think most like to keep people in the force and give them time to study or maybe to recover from an incident.

It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, humans can still lose their temper and react. Despite job titles and upbringing, people can still be murderers and harm others. You can't judge people by how they look, what they do and how they were brought up.

Unfortunately there are parents who are drug users and are irresponsible. You can't stop people from having children, but people should adopt a responsible attitude when children are concerned.They should either stop using drugs or give the child up for adoption if you can't bring them up in a...

Some criminals really are stupid! These deserve to get caught and prosecuted. I bet the victims didn't think he would be so silly as most would have made a quick exit and not looked back.

I doubt it very much unless you failed the fitness test because of the injury.There are other jobs that may not require a level of physical fitness, but whiplash is a common problem and most people recover with no repercussions.

Free speech doesn't mean you have the right to act how you want. While people have the right to protest, others have the right to be able to be safe in their jobs. Protests get out of hand because people want attention or do not feel they are being heard. Instead, it has the opposite effect and...

When someone joins the police force, they must get an allocation of uniforms, but I wonder how often they are updated or if they can order new ones if they get lose weight or gain weight? Also do they get an allowance for dry cleaning them and do they have to return them when they leave? I can...

I used to work on recruitment fairs for the Metropolitan Police and the question does not prevent you from applying. It may help, but you need a clean record and no criminal record or even cautions. Only if they were incidents when you are a juvenile don't count, but everyone think else does...

Many people resign from jobs and then want to reapply and join again after trying another career or if they take a break. Is this possible for a police officer? Would they have to start from the beginning again or would the level the left at still carry any weight? I expect it would be hard to...

I don't think there is a legal limit, but if a police officer requests that you step put of the vehicle, rolling down the window makes no difference. If the officer shows ID and has cause for you to show your documents, then you need to comply.

In certain areas race may matter because of the population and how the locals will react to police officers. It shouldn't matter, but in reality it does and can make a difference to how a community responds. Most want a diverse force where they reflect all areas of the community because it makes...

Do retired police officers then pay for permits if they wish to keep their guns or do they have to reapply I wonder? They become normal citizens, but many retired officers sometimes are called back to help out and with their experience do they have a special license?

I don't think you can teach cooperation as many adults refuse to cooperate and it's down to personality. I do think skills in how to behave towards others is important as some parents don't know how themselves, so how can they teach others? These are life skills and ones that people don't...

I don't think it's required for all jobs, because there are admin jobs or jobs that are suitable for those who are not trained in the field. Besides that there is the age issue as most have to be over a certain age to be insured to drive certain vehicles. I think some have to take certain...

While it's good to see mother's take their roles seriously there are many that don't. I still don't think parents know what their children really get up to, so while it may be a deterrent, there are some children that will behave badly and try to get away with things.

The problem is if an admin doesn't do anything or a person isn't banned or others say anything, then that bully will carry on and may get worse. People need to understand it's not nice or acceptable behavior. Ignoring it is one thing, but words cannot be forgotten or unread.

It's unfortunate that people use personal ads and the like to prey on people. Many transactions are done safely, but that's why you should always be wary of what information you give out and where you meet. Sometimes it is worth using an agent or a dealer with things like car and property as...

I'm sure there is more to the story, but either way, one should keep these arguments behind closed doors. It seems apparent one sister wanted to shame the other one. Either way, certain things should be kept private and this story is one of them. I am sure their parents are not happy about their...

I don't think you can generalize. Some cops wish to serve and protect and some will like the power it gives them. It also depends on the area, whether it's a city or a small town. In a small town, cops are generally part of the community and in the cities there is more of a divide. I once...

One of the issues this raises is that the parents were not or have not been around to guide the child and they have discovered it was too late to do anything. Maybe it's how society has developed with parents working or children being influenced by their peers or the media. The police should not...
