Police chiefs in the Thai capital, Bangkok, have come up with a new way of punishing officers who break the rules - an eye-catching Hello Kitty armband.

From August, officers who are late, park in the wrong place or commit other minor transgressions will have to wear it for several days.
It'll never catch on unfortunately evil

It hasn't been on PH, according to the wonderful search function.

The entertainment value seemed to stand any test of time.

Normally cakes here.

Always makes me laugh, pick up some cheap cakes to share, first thing that is asked is 'who did something wrong?'

BBC News Website 25 August 2014 Police may go bust said:
Mr Hogg wants more volunteers to help keep the streets safe and communities to work together to pay for special projects. The force has not commented.
BBC News Website 25 August 2014 Police may go bust said:
"In Devon and Cornwall we have hundreds of thousands of people in neighbourhood watch schemes," Mr White continued.

"Volunteering is something that has always been done but we need to increase it to have more special constables, and more people doing good things to keep the community safe, such as street pastors," Mr White said.

Mr Hogg said this could go further though with community groups investing in things like street signs.

Devon and Cornwall Police forced to appoint new top officer to tackle misconduct case backlog 14 April 2014 said:
Devon and Cornwall Police has appointed another chief officer to deal with a lengthy backlog of serious disciplinary cases, it has been revealed today.

In an internal message to staff this week, the force confirmed that Detective Chief Superintendent Russ Middleton had been appointed as a “temporary assistant chief constable” to deal with a high number of cases of gross misconduct – a charge for which officers can be sacked.

The force said the former head of crime had been promoted to assist “in dealing with a number of outstanding gross misconduct hearings which need to be dealt with as a matter of urgency”.

29 year old woman has spent over fifty thousand pounds on her Hello Kitty obsession Daily Mail 12 June 2014 said:
Natasha Goldsworth is on the hunt for the man of her dreams, but he might be hard to locate because he would need to put up with a flat crammed with £50,000 worth of 'Hello Kitty' collectibles.

Horse trainer Natasha, 29, got hooked on the cartoon character as a teenager and has spent 15 years collecting 10,000 items.

Every room of her flat is now filled with Hello Kitty accessories including jewellery, furniture, clothing, curtains, and 4,000 cuddly toys.

29 year old woman has spent over fifty thousand pounds Hello Kitty obsession Daily Mail 12 June 2014 said:
In 2004, aged 19, Natasha moved her and her kitties into a cramped one-bedroom flat in Exeter, Devon.
Her flat is overflowing with Hello Kitties. She could help PCC Hogg out of his cuts crisis by being community minded and donate them to Devon & Cornwall police so they can be cable tied to officers on their disciplinary backlog until they've been dealt with and she gets her flat back. Sounds like a win-win.

Oddly I didn't notice that horses head poster when I first read of that amazing Hello Kitty collection a few weeks ago.

Yet you posted on it. Nice one! As all the other threads 'almost seem worth reading' you're not a big fan of SP&L it would seem. This light hearted thread is now honoured that you posted here.
