I’m not convinced that having two cars rolling in tandem isn’t still single crewing. They’re working independently of each other until they exit the jeeps. I wonder if those who resisted single crewing training suddenly think it might be a good idea instead....
The reasoning being they still work together at incidents, whereas single crewed officers can do it all by themselves.BossHogg said:
They both have their own callsign, the job still gets dealt with, to the passing motorist it will look like 2 officers working the same job, does it look ridiculous when you see 2 or 3 police cars at the same job?
Well that all depends what they are doing doesn’t it. ;-)Don’t get me wrong, i know the frustrations you face all too well. I’m just surprised single crewing hasn’t become the norm yet. Better to have 2 cars of kit than one.

That tends to happen anyway if it's a complex job, 2 single crewers will turn up, both sets of cones and signs can be used.Don’t get me wrong, i know the frustrations you face all too well. I’m just surprised single crewing hasn’t become the norm yet. Better to have 2 cars of kit than one.
