Default Solution to scum?

Recently i decided to apply for the police, i did however fail... but that wont put me off trying again. The reason for my application was that im sick off scum sucking the life out my world. I want to make a direct diference instead of complaining and doing nothing to solve the problem directly. Im even considering joining the special police because im so determined to rid this world of such filthy dirty vandalising robbing... ahhhhhhhhhhh SCUM!!!!! Does anybody else have the same hatrid for chav/scally scum that i do???

Dont worry, if i got in, and saw a scoob... i wouldnt pull you over... (unless its a blonde driving a pink scoob in flint mcdonalds )

Wow, that's a shame.

Do you have any inkling of an idea what possible reason they could have had for turning down your application?

yeah, theres 4 competency questions you complete, which are then graded A to D when the HQ get your application ). They are (roughly) as follows...

1. Describe an occasion where you have had to deal with somebody who has been unsatisfied with a service or the way they had been treated

2. Describe an occasion where you have shown respect for somebody of a diferent culture / moral belief / religious belief

3. Describe an occasion where you have taken initiative

4. Talk about a day where you have had several tasks to deal, give the order that you did them, and why


I got a B for number 2 and three C's... grrr

How about

5. Describe a situation in which you were required to recognise the use of irony

and

6. Coping with failure - describe the vigilante approach

?

Hope you make it in. These scum bags need to be taught some respect. Just hope you don't get disheartened by the red-tape etc. Go for it, keep trying and good luck.

Don't worry, you'll get in eventually, an ex colleague also failed first time round, apparently most people do, as they want to see how determined you are to get in.

Your eagerness to rid this world of the scum element will probably make you very very frustrated as you cannot touch the little sh*ts these days. You'll see more of them getting off with slaps on the wrist rather than getting sent down.

My dad retired from the police 20 years ago now. During his service, criminals actually had respect for the police and when bumping into a few of them these days they'll even say hello and have a chat with him.

I wouldn't last 2 minutes as a policeman as I really couldn't stop myself from kicking the **** out of the little b*stards!!!

Is that the same as a "community support officers"

We have a few of them in our local town centre.....

Between them, they made £10000 in parking tickets in a single month How can they support a community when they spent most of the time performing the duties of traffic wardens?

I just hope your hate of scum gets put to good use rather than ending up with duties like the above...good luck to you

Hands up how many of us would love to be traffic cops, even if just for a week - imagine, every crap driver or nobber on the road you normally have to put up with, you could nick them.

The question you have to ask yourself before joining the police is this: You're about to arrest a paedo or rapist or murderer who calls you pig or scum, spits in your face etc. Can you resist twatting him? If not then you'll not last long in the force.

Who'd you'd never see as they're all on 'best behaviour' when they see your livered up police car

Oooh, to be an undercover traffic cop though, you'd have a field day.

I would dearly love to be a traffic cop - unfortunately one of my eyes does not work correctly so I do not think I would get in!

Not if "Road Wars" on Sky 1 is anything to go by - appears that there is nowt wrong with a twatting from an "extendo-stick" to bring a suspected crim down!

Are you the sort of person we want in the police force though?

The only thing missing is you wouldnt pull over a scoob,unless it was driven by a paki.

Apologies if my post (number #10) didn't make any sense...but due to some server glitch when I edited, the post failed to update, however upon replying as above it has already been corrected for me

(thread in policy explaining what happened...if anyone is interested )
