FLOCK vs ANPR

I’ve seen a lot on my feed at the moment in relation to Flock cameras in the US and how the vast majority of the public are against the use of them. Then compare that to the general public of the UK and the opinion is basically the opposite of ANPR and most support the use.

I also found out Flock cameras are mapped and anyone can search the locations on the internet, compare that to our cameras where the locations are not public knowledge and much more hush.

Why do you think this is and with the introduction of facial recognition vans do you think people’s opinion of ANPR will change?

Training for strength / general fitness

Evening all,

I would describe myself as a weak and skinny police officer ( I am 6ft tall and weigh approximately 77kg ).

I have never considered myself strong, but don’t really struggle with fights at work or pulling myself over fences etc.

I’ve been in for about 4 years and have avoided my MOE course out of fear that I’m too weak for it, and as such I want to work on my strength and general fitness, so I am looking for some advice.

I am a dad of a nearly 2 year old and don’t have much time to go out, so I bought myself a 12KG kettle bell and I have been enjoying doing short workouts with this.

The last thing I want is to be a liability to other officers.

If anyone has any tips advice or help with this then please let me know in the comments :)

Phone holder/mount for job car

I’m a bit of a predicament and I need a rugged phone holder or mount that can withstand being removed and re-applied loads without ripping my phone out. What are you using and what would you recommend?

Ideally I want one that attaches to the windscreen and not a MagSafe mount, one that actually grips the phone.

Thanks! :)
