For any of you who came here thinking it was going to be a juicy revelation then you can leave now!! 
14 years in the job and now finally going to do it.
Have had permission from higher authority that I can accompany an officer on patrol in a mobile (well, after all I do work closely alongside them). Had been meaning to ask for permission for a long time and last month finally got round to doing it, will not be able to say what went on for obvious reasons but looking forward to experiencing first hand at the way our finest Police Officers (had to say that didn't I)? :roll: carry out their duties and deal with various incidents away from areas where I monitor.
One thing I am not really looking forward to having to put on the bullet/stab proof vest as they are quite heavy and cumbersome but it is essential piece of protection nowadays which just goes to show how society and attitudes have changed over the years towards the police, at one time only a fool would stand, argue,threaten and assault an officer but now sadly, it is a daily routine that officers have to face.
Regards
Nigel.
