Thoughts It is easy to find comment about how much the Police spend on translation. With an under-cover (the supposedly non English speaking suspects do not know that all they say is understood) officer in the room there may be more justice dispensed. As the number of people who like to share secrets in public in a foreign language increases, the risk of comment being found interesting increases. European legislation provides for use instructions to be in all EU recognised languages - measuring a clothes-care label on a new garment can be interesting. It is always good to stop before causing offence.

Quote fed up eagle at 22 Jul 2015 6.48pm It's not just the Met. I lived in Preston, Lancashire for quite a few years. I applied for the Lancashire Constabulary on two occasions. I didn't even make the interview stage, this despite being ex army, a personal trainer (so I have experience of dealing with people on a face to face basis), and being more than physically fit enough to do the job. You'll only get in the police these days if you are gay (no I'm not homophobic for arguments sake), an ethnic minority or you have some sort of of physical affliction. The whole selection process is a joke and the police I see these days are woefully out of shape, soft and bovinely stupid. Of course not all police are like this, but these days it's all about sexual orientation, ethnicity and having retail experience. This is the police force the liberal elite wanted. This country is going to hell in a handcart. Generally to get into the police force you need to serve as a police special and have a specific qualification.

Dont see the attraction myself, you get dogs abuse, spat at, assualted, s* pay, s* working hours. And if you even so much as get one of the little darlings hair out of place you lose your job. At least in my job (if called upon) I can shoot the f***ers "It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"
