Yep. I was a strawberry at the police for a few years.
What is a strawberry in this context?
Is that not a girl who trades sex for drugs.

Meh. stting where you eat is overrated. As long as you have a social life and interests outside work it shouldn't be necessary to look to your workplace to provide sex unless you're a sex worker.
And it shouldn't be necessary if you DO st in your own back yard to expect somebody else to foot the bill for covering it up.
The events described in my first post are the result of wrongdoing at work, in work time in some cases, and then covered up at public expense.
That's if any of it is true, of course...
But if it IS true, I take it you would not approve?
The previous Chief Constable, Ms Sim seems to confirm that it IS true...!

If it ISN'T true, will you be apologising?

It is as likely to be true as it is for any large corporation with the top brass in their offices.

When I was at HQ a chief inspector lost his assigned parking spot and was forced to mix it with the hoi poloi. It was awarded to a 22 year old secretary straight out of uni.

I, of course, have no opinion on the matter and have no idea why the little blonde girl's needs should rate higher than a chief inspector's.

Exactly this - the job used to be a way of life. Its just a day job now. We used to live in each others pockets and regularly mixed socially. We all lived within a short distance of each other and had to live within our county boundary - none of the long commutes we see now. Cohabiting by male/female officers was forbidden unless married-regular unannounced checks of in-station hostel blocks and Police houses assigned as hostels was carried out to make sure there was no hanky panky occurring. I was on the same core uniform shift for 15 odd years, a few came and went but I essentially worked with the same lot over that time period. Youngsters look to specialise after a couple of years now.

I phoned the duty DCI for a rape, the victim in hospital. It seems the was no way they could attend as their main duty was babysitting. They were willing - the actual word used, willing - to talk with the DC. So on call meant just that.

A DC was left alone to run his first rape as there was no OT and none of the inspectors and above were willing to ruin their Sunday.

That'd be a reduction in rank when I joined.

There were many, many, in fact the majority, of systems that needed changing from my day, but commitment wasn't one of them. I can't blame the officers though. There was no recognition of those who made the effort and now, with, as you say, officers specialising after two years and in line for promotion a fortnight after joining, and HomSec using the service to get promoted herself, there's no reason to.

It is what the government seems to want.

A local sergeant, one of 'my' PCs when I ran a shift, said that they can often not contact off duty officers when there's a quick call out required. Wives and girlfriends don't know where they are and many refuse to take a message. The reason, he reckons, is that their social life has taken a hit with the swingeing cuts to conditions of service and they no longer feel the need to cooperate.

Sad, but understandable.

When I transferred to Sussex I had a long weekend for my wife to move down. On the Wednesday I was told off to turn up for football duty on the Saturday. I pleaded with duties but was told that I was personally essential to the safe running of the match. Friday morning a PC turned up and said that I was no longer required. I'd put the move off until the Sunday so told him that I would turn up for duty on ET Saturday and take the day off in lieu on the Tuesday. Please tell duties.

When I turned up for ET the chief inspector took me to one side and said that he didn't want me bringing my 'London attitudes' to Sussex and I'd better take care. I said it was regulations, but he was not open to logic. It seemed that PCs who'd had their weekend ruined by being told they were on duty and then having it cancelled would not seek the compensation allowed them.

I lived in a small Kent village. The local sergeant had been in position for as long as I lived there, some 11 years. He would always turn out if there was trouble in 'his' town. One evening there was a bit of a fracas and he was punched in the face by one of the yobs. A PC friend of mine was there. He said everything stopped, with officers and particpants not knowing what to do. Two local yobs grabbed hold of the offender, one of whom hit him a couple of times.

Order restored, the sergeant went to hospital where he was visited by the local newspaper reporter and a photographer. It was front page news.

Times have changed.

Kid joins my old team. Probie is straight out of training school. His mate gets thrown onto another team they are both 19 years old. Good looking lad the other kid, he is going to get laid loads we tell him. Their team go on a camping 'team building' trip where one of the 'senior PC's' a 'lady' lures him into her tent and basically educates him sexually. Which also involves her telling him to take her outside of her tent and urinate all over her. Lad is nearly half her age and thinks why not. Comes back off the trip tells the lad on my team who is his mate and everyone around the same table laughs and one lad says 'fairly standard' and thinks he got off lightly.

This is one of the more tame sexual policing events........

Everyone says it happens in all forms of business and workplaces. When I tell my mates who work in many varying industries some of the stories the general consensus is the old bill is a very special place for sexy event olympics.

I don't think that's something people can just try. You can tell us what happens on warships if you like.

Seeing as even in the modern Navy most of the people on board are male, I expect the stories will be something like the First Officer reporting to the Captain

"Sir, there's buggery on board the ship"

"How do you know"

"Because I tasted **** on the Chief's ***** last night"

When I used to work nights a Trafpol I knew would sometimes turn up to avail himself of the free tea machine. One night he turned up and I casually asked if he was single crewed that night?

'Nope, my oppo is fking his girlfriend whilst her husband is on duty up the other end of the County... '
