My long distance friend 18M named Harris has had suicide thoughts for a long time now, and as of what I have been told he wants to kill himself tonight at Lincolnshire England. I am extremely worried and I dont want him to die, please alert anyone
So on Friday I was basically arrested/detained (photo taken by mate, my witness, of me wearing handcuffs, hurt really bad). I was detained under section 136 of the Mental Health Act 😕
My mum and dad called 999 on me and the police literally came, put me in handcuffs, whilst I was going through a panic attack, and took me away. After going through the process, I got let out on Sunday with a referral to a team to "look after me".
In this pic the cuffs are on my front, but about 10 mins later I was wearing them on the back after I went full panic mode and the officers changed my cuffs round and fucking tightened them like fuck.
Is this allowed under the law? Can the police do that to me when I’m going through a vulnerable time. They spent a rlly long time putting me through the restraint process which only amplified my mental health crisis and struggling.
I know this might sound a little shady, but I just thought of it and am curious.
Say if I saw someone hit my car and they sped away, could you identify the car/driver from partial plate information and a few other details?
I'm absolutely sure you don't have the time to attempt combinations, so is there some kind of tool that gives possibilities?
Alternatively, I guess there's nothing and I'd be left SOOL. Not sure if you guys even investigate that kind of thing anymore?
Hi all! I’ve got an SJT and BSQ coming up soon and I’m honestly getting a bit nervous about them. I’ve tried looking for free practice tests online, but most either don’t give feedback/results or just seem pretty useless.
Has anyone in the police force been through these tests before and got any advice or preparation tips? Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
So I’ve been searching for hours what the neon codes on top of my riot helmet mean. and nothing comes up. I thought it was new castle or somewhere in the north but I still have no clue or getting any ideas. If you guys could help me be my guest!! (Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to ask)
I left as a DC about 5 years ago and have continually considered rejoining throughout that period. Have tried various corporate roles but nothing quite excites me in the same way as policing did.
There’s a lot of negativity towards the job on here, but has anybody had a positive experience with rejoining after a protracted stint away?
They first removed to move on when asked, then I threatened to call the police. After I went out of sight with the phone to my ear, they waited a minute or two before leaving. I assume it would be good for police to have a record of it?
Incidentally, I put the number plate into mot checker and the dvla has the colour as different. 3 blokes in a car, one lying down in the back seat. My kids were cycling around the area which made me get pretty angry pretty fast when they argued it a free country.
Afternoon all, I'm currently in the process of applying for the police and I am worried about the financial vetting ( assuming I get to that point) I have 4 or 5 defaults from 2022 due to fallout from COVID, and have been on DMP with stepchange to clear the balances. My force told me a DMP wont be an immediate 'No' like an IVA is, however I'm worried that my past will hold me back. I currently owe 3.6k across all the debt I have, and have been maintaining payments with stepchange.
Can anyone share some advice on this or has anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks
Hi all,
My neighbour just text me saying the police rang the door to my flat twice and left (I am not home)
In the past 4 months or so this has happened maybe 3 times when I am not home.
I am not aware of doing anything wrong and they haven't forced entry or even left a note or a card into the post box.
Should I be worried?
Hello all..
I’m a serving officer in a county force for about 5 years. Have attempted to transfer to the met last year but failed due to vetting and obviously couldn’t tell me reasons as to why (defo third party). At the time of failing I was residing with father who has previous for x2 handling stolen goods bout 20 years ago. I have since moved out and contact is minimal, im looking to apply to the met again.
I also have an estranged uncle who has been visited by PREVENT back in the 2010s but unknown as to why, I haven’t had any contact with him in years.
As per my forces policy, they revetted me following last years refused vetting with the met and they have no current issues and passed me again, was also told by my forces vetting officer that they know the reasons as to why the met refused my vetting but obviously couldn’t disclose anything to me
Is there hope for me?
Does anyone know if metpol have changed their pnc sifting requirements.
Twice I have failed the sifting down to PNC but not sure on what as my circumstances haven’t changed, I have also been a special with the Met and left only last year.
Hello everyone,
Hope everyones having a good weekend! Am thinking about applying to join but I have a caution for possession of cannabis from 11 years ago, would this cause me to fail the vetting process?
If god forbid my mother was desperately ill in the car, would I be entitled to removing the protesters by force e.g shoving to clear A path? Surely they can't continue to block the road after A clear emergency has been declared. However im not sure at all because of course its A personal vehicle and not A governmental emergency vehicle.
Hey guys, my name is Polly and I work for the market research agency Research Opinions. We're currently recruiting a project for police officers in the East Midlands so thought I'd post about it here.
It's a 1 hour 15 minute session on Zoom, and you'll be talking about your day-to-day experiences and attitudes towards a range of different topics. It pays £80, and we have sessions on the 19th and 20th of May (6pm-7:15pm).
Here's the link to sign up if you're interested. Thanks!

Hi all,
With vetting, to my knowledge my close family - mother, father, brother do not have any criminal convictions or been associate with criminality in any way. My partner of 4.5 years who is a police officer - so no concerns there.
I just have two ‘third parties’ who I have issues with and want to gain some clarity from the group. (1) - My dad’s partner, who I am living with (with my partner) whilst we save our house deposit, to my knowledge has 1 (maybe 2) instance(s) of assault many years ago due to a fight - and considered spent. Nothing current. My uncle - on my mum’s side, I know to my knowledge has a conviction for driving under the influence (drug) 2/3 years ago and is now considered spent. Asking my mum, she says he may have been convicted for the same thing when he was younger - but nothing she is too certain about. I really do not associate with him, and rarely see him … max 4/5 times a year for family occasions. And always around other people I know he’s considered extended family - but absolutely intend to declare him as my uncle etc.
Mostly looking for some piece of mind, but also some clarification on how these two parties will be considered. My step mother I only ‘associate’ with at home, she has a highly reputable job and no current issues, and my uncle is not someone I consider to associate with only really a family member who I have no control over his life choices. Thanks all
My child (25m)living in London, England, was falsely accused of historical rape by his ex girlfriend after they broke up. His lawyer has submitted a PCE with proof of the relationship being coercive, controlling as well as financially abuse. It is now over six months since this happened and the OIC has stopped updating us on case or the next date. Is there anything we can do to quicken the process to its conclusion or even get a response from the OIC? How long can this remain in limbo at the investigation stage?
