Thanks to all the self-taught experts who know more about my job than me

Everybody knows how to do the police's job better than the police, same for teaching... but when did you last see a queue round the block for entry to police college or teaching?

Enjoy your last few weeks, you'll look back on your police time, in time, with a certain fondest... as the pupil kangaroo starts the GN for the umpth time

Don't think for a moment it's just your job peeps know better.

The fact that you would covet the opinion of those on this board says a lot about you...

Enjoy your time as a carpark security guard. Maybe they will give you a scooter to cruise around on.

The problem is what you are taught you can do as a policeman is very narrow in scope compared to what Joe blow citizen is taught in school (and TV) about what the police can do.

Hence there arise some distress to those who haven't woken up to the fact that your really only there to protect the govt and corporations. Of course your also hindered by the justice dept that lets the trash blow straight back out on the street like a poorly run landfill site.
Perhaps we need a new advertising campaign to explain how policing really works so people don't expect a silver bullet to their problems. Gone are the old days when the sherriff just told people to behave and they did.
Firemen put out fires, ambos stop bleeding but police can only ever interrupt crime and bad behaviour unless we make them all Judge Dredd status.

You shouldn't take it personally anytime someone argues with you here or the street. Most people know its the system that is wrong not you, they just find it hard to articulate that into words.

Retiring or moving on to something different?

IMO you have always come across as a very fair person on here.

Very true

I'm going to be a motorcycle instructor, contracting to Dan Ornsby Motorcycle Training, www.motorcycletraining.co.nz

I'm pleased to say that I'm staying in the motorcycle world, so I can keep Azkil, Skoober and the others on their toes.

No longer will I have to watch my tongue for fear of a telling off from the company web trolls.

I'm going through the process of getting my I endorsement at the moment. And what a process it is.

That's CLASSIC R.C!!

Funny how the know-it-all twats who bleat on how cops SHOULD do their job never actually get around to doing the job themselves?

you are Welcome Rast, but remember when poking fun at the keyboard warriors:

just that most policy enforcement drones equate that to "failing the attitude test".

I will have you know I did a grand job of recovering my tools from a couple of junkies, when you lot were out doing important shit, like sitting in bushes waiting for someone driving a few kms over the limit.
