Police - huge mistake?
Discussion
The following article caught my attention.....

I assume most of the 101 call center people are civilian, but surely they should have stopped reading from a script and asked advice from someone higher up?

Would you prefer, 'We'll continue doing it in the same old way.'?I would prefer them to say, we will just pretend to take this on board as then it will all hopefully go away and we can carry on the same, maybe with pay rises all round and a huge bonus.
The phrase Lessons Learnt is used at the end of a project, its supposed to be a point where all the mistakes are acknowledged and processes amended to ensure they don't happen again.
Out of all the huge corporate firms I've worked with over the years, I've never seen it happen!
I think we need some more hell in a handbasket melodrama in this thread.
Just checked - Oh, prisons are still full of criminals. Odd given the apparent focus on LGBTSTBAHDKHSJW...

Yes - as that's what they will do. At least be honest.

You've asserted nothing will change over this incident. You have no idea how the police review and change things thus you don't know what you're talking about.
Dig a bit more with this one.
Hmm…. so you find a purse with potentially stolen Credit Cards and Cocaine and you are happy to have that sat in your desk or on your person.
I think I would have called the police to explain what I found and then personally delivered it to the local police station.
At least if Im stoped on route i have explained why it is in my possession and the Police can then manage handing it back to owner and her 20 stone angry minder.
Shirley he could be accused of dealing if he hands it to her?

Man with mental health issues detained in the nick for not paying a cab fare.
Any idea why Plod didn't just take him home?
Quick and cheap result. Plod back on patrol in 10 minutes perhaps...

It'd have been much better advice to ask him to bring it to a police station. I think I would have called the police to explain what I found and then personally delivered it to the local police station.

All calls are recorded so there would be no issue if he was found with it etc.

Indeed, the report refers to the person in question having had an appropriate adult previously suggesting he's been 'in trouble' before.
Most people in the criminal justice system have MH issues so it's a very common occurrence.
Dealing with people who ideally probably should be in custody is everyday business for the police. If their arrest is lawful and they won't go in a cell, then they are going to end up in the cell, regardless of any compromises made.
The issue there appears to be the officer not informing the custody Sergeant the man had said he was mildly autistic.
In terms of a crappy 'not paying a taxi fare' type incident, the last thing anyone wants to do is make an arrest. It can usually be sorted there and then as they tried to do. Unfortunately in some circumstances it may not be so arrests may need to be made.
