I accept what you are saying and agree with your comments, Being a police officer it is accepted nowadays that a few slaps are a mater of fact, you know its going to happen and its part of the job, if the truth were known since new Labour the police are understaffed and there are new objectives and conditions all the time, unfortunately as Police officers unlike the Fireservice we have no right to argue or contest any conditions that there are, I would not recomend anybody join the Police nowadays, the pay at £21k is crap, when you can get a job in a factory working shifts and earn alot more
