deratomicdog posted:Are officers able to take their guns home? Nope, just like we can't take home cs/pava spray under any circumstances. Batons can be taken home for a purpose (working the next shift else where or officer safety retraining) but still would be illegal to possess in public off duty.

deratomicdog posted:Qualifications once a month? That seems like a lot. No, never. Not even allowed to take our CS spray home anymore (it's a schedule 5 firearm, unlawful possession is almost always a mandatory prison sentence.) With written permission we can keep our batons but that's it. Our possession of a baton is actually written in to statute law as one of about 5 lawful defenses. There is also a lawful defense of being in cultural costume, so feel free to carry a battle axe around a town as long as you're dressed like a knight like a loving neckbeard.

Snowdens Secret posted:Are Britcops allowed to take home kitchen knives any more or do you have to eat all your meals with plastic sporks You laugh but there is a notice in my station kitchen about how dangerous hot food in the microwave is, how dangerous boiling water is etc. We used to be able to get permission to carry CS off duty for on-duty purposes the next day but our loving union got that stopped because they asked the car insurers if they would insure a car with a bag in the boot containing CS and they said 'gently caress off.' So if you now have a public order duty 40 miles away from your station but 5 away from where you live, gently caress you, do the 80 mile round trip for a can of poo poo that doesn't even work.

The Queen used to just come out to your house and cut up your steak for you, now though I think Kate does it with written permission to possess a steak knife.

Hey, those radios are loving awesome. Waterproof, smashproof, you can use them as mobile phones, send test messages, use GPS tracking, you can find any channel for any force/area/team in the country. If I wanted to listen in on other Britcop goons dispensing their own justice in the name of Her Majesty all I have to do is select the force, area and channel and I can radio stalk them from the other side of the country.

Bernard McFacknutah posted:Depends on what team, what force and if you're an AFO (authorized firearms officer) so carry 9mm side arms and machine pistols, or SFO (specialized firearms officer), so carry usually a 5.56mm rifle or a sniper rifle or in the case of the Civil Nuclear constabulary you get 30mm cannon training as well. In the MET, and this list isn't exhaustive as I've never been through the process, you first need to be out of probation and then: You forgot "Get a teddy haircut and gel it every day" as well as "Mandatory tribal tattoo" or at least it is in the provinces Bernard McFacknutah posted:

You can't carry your weapons and duty gear home with you? How does that affect working 2nd jobs or part-time/off-duty gigs? Do you guys even have part-time secondary police gigs there? I have to carry much of the same equipment between my two jobs, so not being able to take my gear home would impact my ability to work the job or I'd have to buy two of everything.

Do you guys even have part-time secondary police gigs there? Nope, no kit at home, only time I take any kit home is for cleaning and if I'm training or due at HQ the next day, and that's only formal uniform. Every shift I have to come in to the nick, book on, get changed and get my kit and travel to whichever police station I'm due at (there are 4 I usually work from) which means if I'm due on shift at police station B at 2000 I will have to arrive at police station A at 1800 to make sure Im ready to go. Tomorrow, for instance, I do my 0800-1730 day job, I will get to the nick at 1830 to work until 0600 the next day. If I bring some slag in I could easily be on until 1200, so effectively 28 hours at work.
