Now the Police want to WFH?

WFH annoys me. Look at how many dads are now at the school pick as they can WFH and childcare their kids!!!! Mums too!! They go out running and off for the their well-being mental health walks, Oh and take laptop and hog tables in cafes. …. What a nonsense this all is. Get them back in the office to interact with colleagues much better for their mental health and work productivity.

Sorry that’s my opinion!!! I hear them talking about it in the school playground. The world continues to go bonkers !!!

No police ever seen in my little town. Illegal parking everywhere. No traffic wardens either do they WFH 🤷‍♀️

Police work from home already.

this latest news is a dispute over how much they work from home

which includes what roles are included

Goodness, that should read “boy have we seen some changes”!

We desperately need a much larger Police presence on all our streets.

The days of a police officer on the beat are long gone and will
not return

Cossy I agree with more Bobby’s on the beat I was in your neck of the wards last night, and for the first time locally I felt a measure of vulnerability despite being with DH and the GC.

The demographics were an eye opener and their behaviour was not what I am used to, despite being ^just up the road^

Indeed it’s sad isn’t it!

Luckily for us, we’ve lived here, in the same house for just over 35 years and not have we seen changes!

But, we have great thoughtful neighbours and have made some great friends. I’ve recently joined a community choir, full of lovely like minded people.

However, we used to have a police station 5 minutes away from us and I truly wish it was still there! I don’t like being out after dark at all if I’m alone.

I think the non criminal hate judgements will slowly disappear, they are rarely successful and certainly when legal action is taken by those accused such as the Harry Miller case the accused win.

I really hope that’s the case.
I think that admin work done by those working for the police would be better done in an actual police station but due to closures that may not be possible.I don’t want to knock the police too much but have noticed that when it comes to logging incidents/arrests they often go for the low hanging fruit.
The Matt joke made me 😆

Mass shop lifting burglaries and violence are on a large scale it’s a free for all. There are no police around unless there is a major incident so there is no deterrent to stop crime. I do feel failed but my concern is for the future for our grandchildren if it’s bad now what will it be like then.

Just to add I am in a public facing role, my admin is done at home.

I remember when every large village had a police house, the constable used to tour the smaller surrounding villages on his bike. He knew exactly who was doing what and any problems were swiftly dealt with.

Now the entire south of the county has one daytime police station, closed at night, it’s called progress.

Sorry too many “ands”

I really really need an edit button

I’m not really sure how most Police roles could be WFH, but all the admin can certainly be done from home.

Hate Crime and isn’t subjective and it is a crime.

I’d love to see all the closed local Police Stations re-opened, however in our area they have been sold to private developers, I’d also like to see many more “Bobbies on the beat”
