Police Procedures
Yoshi:
But even so there is no excuse for double standards, do you see paramedics shouting and swearing at people and they get abused more than the police do?
Its all about attitude, most officers think they are above the law, we see it every day, but then thats what drags down the honesty of their job.
littlepow:
I think because people have lost respect for the law, and the police. Then they are struggling to complete their duties without taking certain libities.
But you wont complain when they stop someone ruining your life.
We should start supporting the boys and girls in blue, not giving them a hard time.

Yes I have, someone I worked alongside was hauled up and sacked for it. Theres 0 tolerance of that in the Ambulance service. And yes, we get abuse but theres a big difference. 90% of the people we see are happy to see us. Of the remaining 10% that arent and kick off, 9% of them arent even aware they are doing it or are unconcious.
Policies and perceived action/inaction colours our image of the police force and thats really not helping them right now. End of the day the Policeperson on the beat has no control about where he is sent or what the policies he is paid to enforce it is. I'm sure the guy on here that work for the police have policies the enforce but dont agree with. There are a few that beleive the law doesnt apply to them but in all fairness they dont seem to last that long before being busted downa nd eventually removed or taken off the beat. I know of a Met traffic cop that got progressively busted down to being a PCSO for being an arrogant useless idiot and tbh, when he left, they didnt loose anything.

I agree guys there are good and bad in every profession, but when you get to work do you know what is going to happen...Ambulance and fire crews will know what i'm saying...
We get sent to dead bodies, car accidents, suicides, today I had a 18 year old lad shoot himself with a shotgun. My colleague has just come back to work after being beaten unconscious by a group of drunk youths while protecting a member of public a few weeks ago. However I will NOT accept ambulance and fire service crews being abused, we get use to it and accept it as part of the job.
Yoshi:
Nobody should have to accept the abuse, but the problem i raise is that what can you do when a police officer treats you anyway other than with politeness? I have tried the IPCC before and they basically did nowt.
The IPCC failed to take a matter further when we accused a WPC of failing to investigate a crime fully.
