    Police Bars are a thing of the past now I believe ? haha !

    Did a bit of the road yesterday,as my Doc is still in Whitby. Surface pretty good Piecock to Whitby turn off, no gravel .
    Felt like giving the Falcooon a bit of welli ,but a couple of cops were working.
    Got out of the Doc's after apointment and away, was in Piecock in 10 mins !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The trip to levin 45 mins !! And the was 5pm ....

    Surely a 120 kph limit for this bit of road ???

    I'm told the newly built Police Station in town has no bar, but I was wondering if existing ones were still in use.

    More likely to be an 80kph limit? Like everywhere else.

    All this talk about Police Training not being enough? My first big fatal a few months in, was a couple of heads OFF ! Death followed me the first few years, It got so that I always did the death files and my partner in the car did the Accident File. It worked for us . No cuddles in those days,you just did the job and then into the bar after work. You either handle it or you leave,easy. xxxxxxxx

    A mates father joined the TOs and they pretty much (in his version) said, here's a Triumph and a ticket book, go fill it up.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Sign of the times that someone has the incredulity to say they weren’t trained to cope with that(it would’ve be impossible to do anyway) and secondly that the media even thinks they can get away with publishing that as news when it should be an agony aunt sidebar in women’s weekly.

    I did couple nights work experience at high school. The 160km/h blue lighting down main suburban 50k route to back up a pursuit unit was cool. However later in night our car was first on scene to a dude that got randomly bricked in face(real bad) by gangster that had been twice refused entry to a bar by bouncers. The cop put him and the screaming girlfriend on backseat and drove them to hospital. I was like yeah screw spending rest of life dealing with this crap.

    It seems a common theme though people only want the easy stuff and try squirm out of the hard parts these days. I’ve had to tell more than one trainee to read the fine print in contract requiring you to do “other” duties as required, and yes you will do it....

    I thinks it’s normal for lot of people to not be able to cope with seeing trauma injuries but ludicrous to expect their to be some magic wand to teach you how to deal with it.

    If only this had happened couple days earlier... they made a big deal about one truck driver being caught dui on job and threw away all their public relations capital by putting out a silly PR to remind trucks deivets of responsibilities.... the generals public roasted them in comments

    It’s ok it was a good 30 years ago when cops were allowed to be cops and politicians or Karen’s didn’t tell them how to their job.
