Police going to food banks 19:25 - Jun 29 with 4895 viewsKeithHaynes

The starting pay in my old county of Gloucestershire where I lived for a bit is £19,350 - £19,900
Feature on it tonight on the bbc west news. Some forces go as high as 21,250 apparently.

For the first year that’s a gross of around £1600 a month before tax and NI.
Plus 14% on average in to their police pension ( now 35 years )

That’s around £300 a week. Or £350 if your partying on £21,000 ish.

It does go up in increments after year 3, but could anyone survive on that ?

As I said some officers going to food banks and the federation are issuing them with food tickets.

And when it goes to Court...

We have seen things that would have the likes of contro running for the sink .

Police run into trouble whereas the public run away

The Police Service does have carry some blame given the craven way senior ranks close around simply protecting their next promotion .

It is quite normal now for pre pubescant kids to openly insult police officers on the streets. Not sure the Guardia Civil have this problem.

Then we have the likes of controversial.

God help us .


Didn't see the police running into trouble in Maryhill.more like running away..sh!thouses..

Personally I like people, no matter who they are, ex services will understand this. I couldn’t care who they are or how people are judged mate. Backgrounds, experiences, peoples opinions are all valid to me, apart from when they get all keyboard fighty. One of my best mates did ten years inside, we have a bond, it’s called friendship and trust. People can think what they like tbh, it makes no odds to me, and as I’ve read you think the same.

Anyway, the hornet king 👍

Who attends these scenes of dead bloating bodies or bent over heroin overdoses with maggots crawling out of their eyes ? The average plod.

As for meal breaks after eighteen hours at work even Boris is entitled to a corn beef sandwich.

Nurses get paid more than starter coppers I’m told. As for ten pound an average care worker pay, the average is £12.59 an hour but we won’t split hairs but that’s £24 plus k a year. You asked a question, I just thought I would answer it. None of these professions get paid enough, we know that but that isn’t the point.

A car accident always brings back memories. Being the first there and seeing four dead bodies all crumpled up. You can still smell the after shave, the radio is still playing and someone is still shouting hello on a mobile phone. The delight on a mothers face when the only remaining analysed part of her dead daughter after the Paddington rail crash was the tip of her finger was given to her. She was delighted. Seriously happy. Three years later.

I know the stock reply is well people shouldn’t sign up for these things but then neither do rubbish collectors. A slight off moment and lack of thought when the protocols for putting the bin in to the back of the lorry are forgotten. Both bin guy and the bin went the same way. His upper body as flat as a pancake, in fact I’ve seen thicker pancakes. Did he knowingly sign up for that ?

Risks are everywhere in every profession that involves humans. Ive said it before there is no more free radical than a human being. But to undermine these professions by comparing notes is somewhat strange. As I said you asked the question, it’s been answered. Probably won’t have a corn beef sandwich tonight bloody brexit has affected deliveries to Spain by all accounts, baked beans too. 👍

Keith, you may be aware of the starting wage as a soldier or sailer. It is 15k a year and goes up to 20k after 6 months. It is expected you may get a promotion after 4 years.

Question. How much do you think they should start on with no training?

It is good to get it out there to get proper comparisons to see what people earn and what they can expect to experience in the job.
Nurses are not paid but have loans while they do there three year training.

You don't join if you want an easy life. Many nurses and care workers see that every day and more for £10 an hour. What's a meal break?

Many alcoholics for example bleed out before death and many vomit up faeces if they have bowel blockages

The average plod rarely get's to see that, they are too busy arresting drunks and handing out motoring offences. Nothing particularly difficult about everyday policing. Yes, they may get the occasional awful scenario to attend, but that's not the everyday experience of the the average constable

What, because arresting drunks is easy? I was on wind street one night, I watched in hrror as a group of blokes flooded out of a bar and proceeded to attack the paramedic trying to save their friends life. They weren't there when he fell over and banged his head, didn't notice he was missing either, in their drunken stupor. I watched as 2 policemen waded in to try and help, fists and feet flying, 2 police and 2 paramedics against 9-10 drunken a holes. Despite this the medics saved the guy but all his mates copped it because reinforcements arrived and they were all nicked.

I didn't bother with Wind street much after that, it must be 20 years ago now and I doubt its gotten easier.

Ho about the fella who tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose in Orchard street car park, 2 years back, in his agony he ended up throwing himself out and hit the pavement with a splat apparently, he lived for about 30 minutes by the account the car park manager gave me, the police had to stand and watch, the ambulance came but they couldn't help him as he bled out with stuff oozing from his skull.

My particular choice of difficulty though comes from my youth. A boy called Anthony Davies, always in trouble all through school. He commited suicide (40 years ago now) and the first copper on scene was the local village policeman who just happened to be his father.

But no, not a difficult job. Football hooligans, drunks, drug addicts, mental health problems, violent scumbags...nothing difficult there.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

And to add further insult to injury?.... There are (and proven to be!) lying 'innocence-scam' campaigns and activists who totally ignore damning facts, evidence and victims families GUILTY verdict satisfaction.

Talk about a thankless job the police have at times!

Fighting isnt or wasnt a problem for me,mainly as times were slightly different.
Anyone attacking me was knocked down ;anyone looking like they were about to attack me were also decked. I d rather be alive and face a discipline charge and then ,if sacked,get another job. I was alright though.

The problem now is the Police hierarchy who are openly craven. Angry mentioned Mayhill and he s right.In the day,had I been in charge of that area,I would assembled a PSU outfit and gone in hard taking out the ringleaders first.
Police will be criticised if they act or if they dont so they might as well act and take back the streets so old people dont have to cover behind the sofa in their own home.

IMO,Police Commander in Mayhill that night should have been up on a neglect of duty charge,as hould many in our inner city cesspits.

He's right though, isn't he. It's not rocket science because rocket science is easy compared to policing, physicists don't often have drunks, druggies or any variety of criminals attacking them while they do their job. They don't have to go to the worst parts of town and deal with the worst types of people every day.

Every time he posts he proves what a troll and a WUM he is.
