Well its that time of year where a lot of people celebrate Christmas and New Year. I for one will be spending time with my family over the festive period, mainly consisting of eating a lot and consuming alcohol. Along with actually being able to spend time with the Mrs.
I don't actually spend that much time with the Mrs due to my shift pattern and the fact she works "Normal" hours. Usually i am sleeping while she is here or i will be working or she will be working. So this will make a nice change.
I will be socialising with the family down the pub having a few drinks.
Coming home and relaxing.
That is my Christmas but for many family's their Christmas will be different, there Xmas will consist of drinking to excess throughout the day, having a "row" with someone usually the other half and calling the police to sort it out as we are there to mend broken relationships, calm down drunks and make peace among the chavs on the estates.
Now they will be sadly mistaken luckily i will not be working over xmas this year but the officers that are will be taking quite a harsh stance with the view of "locking them up" if they cause grief over xmas. This is never a better time to have an impact on those that wind us up all year long.
Ever wandered why no warrants get executed in the run up to Christmas?? Well the reason is we do it over the bank holidays keep you in custody until the next available court date ie Wednesday!
All that grief we get over the year attending calls to chav households, getting hit, abused and shouted at. Now its payback time!
You see, the Police generally are a good bunch, we do our jobs and enjoy it. We lock up those that need locking up and give "suitable advice" to those that don't need locking up.
But our charity runs out at the end of the year. Every time you tell us how to do our jobs, call us all sorts of names, throw things at us and generally abuse us, it all gets logged and noted because what goes around comes around. And Christmas is the time of goodwill to all men "and women" and what better time than at the end of the year to level the score and start a fresh in January.
Have a happy Christmas.

PACE Code G
Hi all,
Apparently there is this new section of PACE (Police and Criminal Evidence Act) called code G that comes into effect on 1st January 2006. This is a big overhaul of our powers of arrest and will effect every police officer that makes an arrest.
Apparently every offence is arrestable if it passes the necessity test.
You would have thought that such a big change would have meant lots of training for us police officers.
Well you will be surprised to know that our forces training dept were dragging their heels. 3 training sessions were provided to train every officer in my area. The first i was on annual leave (gotta take some time off sometime eh!) the second session that i had to attend was 6 hours after i finished work. I came off nights and finished work at about 1 am and they wanted me back at 7 am to train (No chance) The third session i am on a rest day, now i would attend but i am not going to be paid for it so i will be using a day off to go into work to do the training. Hmmm decisions decisions.
Luckily i have preempted this and the people at training were quite good about it saying "don't come in on your rest day, we'll sort it out in the new year after the changes come into effect" This is good for me as i don't loose a rest day. But what about arresting people???
Another well thought plan by my police force!

Humour
I have decided that a little light humour is needed in light of recent events and have found some good stuff.
This is from Metpol Crime reports and details some of the notes made by officers showing not only a sense of humour but some apauling spelling and grammar!
A four foot wall surrounded the garden which was approximately 3ft high.
Mr Grey would be able to recognize them from the back only and if they wore the some clothing.
The suspect gained entry by climbing into the victims rear.
Victim would recognised ger handbag again as the shoulder strap is chewn.
Scene closed and cleaned. victim seen in hospital.It would appear an artry or something else was pierced due to the amount of blood lost.
vehicle was blocking the road so they stopped and a cue formed behind them.
The victim only has a home phone number, if there is no answer that means he aint there.
Incident witnessed by suspect as he was there at the time
The window was smashed leaving the glass unbroken.
METHOD: By snatching victims hand.
Police arrive and are met by a non speaking male who could only state, "black man's took bike"
The ex-partner did not the supect there and he was advised to leave by police. The suspect became towards police when asked to leave.
Officers attended the venue and after much searching found both victims sat in the lounge.
What happened was that the victims car was broked into and various bits stolen.
It appears the suspect has kicked open the front door and then climbed through the window.
the victim believes someone is responsible for stealing from her car.
The victim last saw his phone parked outside his house at 2200
At 2358hrs she was arrested and cautioned for loitering for the purpose of prostitution she was cautioned and replied," will it be a quick in and out!"
After investigation it was found to be a straightforward deception. Arrested and conveyed to Mars the facts were conveyed to the custody officer.
It would appear that this incident has stemmed from a dispute about a lollipop.
Victim fearing for his safety ran into the road, where he was hit by an oncoming SOUTHBOUND vehicle.
it would be possible for the gate to be unbolted as it had a bolt on it.
Victim states that the suspect spoke like "frank spencer" and believed he was "simple".
Victims wheelchair was stolen from the front garden. She has only reported it becasue of the need for a crime reference number for getting her new wheels.
Suspect has lobbed a stone at the window busting it to bits.
Victim states he does not have a telephone number, will contact us to let us know what it is.
On his arrival back home that evening the front door was a jar.
asked victim if he could use his phone to call his brother, victim handed over the phone and suspect then fell into a bush
Injury Description: booze on the left side of his fore head - right side is boozed and scratched from being kicked
The suspects were eliminated due to unable to prove that it was them and not this fourth imaginary person.
subject had in his possession a silver pen knife which gave no reply when arrested
FORENSICS: No point as we don't know who did it.
Victim then went upstairs and got suspects 2 mobile phones and hung them out of the window, suspect then went upstairs and hung victim out of the window.
Request that this report is closed due to the victim not wanting to persue with the allegation and has reclined to provide police with a statement.
In view of the believed method of entry, the only realistic security advice I can give is to shut the door.
The officer has handed over £20 in cash in exchange for class A drugs and the accused has decamped.
Accused admitted offence and was remoprsefull.
The suspect was apparently out drinking when the victim called him to bring back a lemon. The suspect arrived home drunk & demanded to know why the victim wanted an onion.
The suspect began to harrass the victim by saying thongs through her letter box and knocking her door.
Sarah finished School at 12pm and went to a friends party she returned home at 18pm.
The suspect had a thing face and smelt badly of Sweat.
On speaking to her she said a balck man pulled a knife out on her boyfriend so he throw a car at him, and they both drove off as they were worried.

The travelers were two women and two men with a large group of children. all aged approximately 40.
The shop is located behind the security shutters which are at the front of the shop.
The victim is registered blind from birth and cannot give a very good discription of the suspect other than he was wearing a stripped top and was well spoken.
