Inspector Morose
@inspector-m0r0s3.bsky.social
Came from Twitter (the everything App). 29 plus years in UK policing (still counting). Done loads, caught rapists, murderers and burglars. Like a real-life Sam Vimes, without a past drink problem. Now flying a desk but still get out and do a bit.

Holy crap.
The Panorama expose on Charing Cross is appalling.
The Met PSD will be busy.
To say the culture there is problematic is an understatement.

Assessments. Recruit interviews.
Should there be more help available to pass an interview? Are there resources on YouTube?
A number of candidates seem to struggle with expressing an example in depth & detail.

Tuesday. Pre retirement course. Second one. Different provider. Feel much happier about the whole idea. Some myths busted. Some useful insight obtained. I’ll go when I’m ready, and not before.

Monday. In office, catching up with admin. Not really a great deal going on. So some hours owed were gratefully received off my allowance and an early finish was had.

Training delivery … in reality a Q&A with senior officers. Went well - with a wee bit of follow up work required.

Workday #123 continued. Mad scramble into city. Then nothing. Then move to meet large group off a tram. Then fell over a fence. Scuffed knee. Thankfully no mockery and a look of genuine concern from one of them. A long evening with much toing and froing.
Got my steps in though.

Workday #122 of 2025 - today - another late shift. Big sporting event tomorrow. Tomorrow’s deployment is a challenging one. Weather may be on our side. (Checks forecast).

A bit of an identikit day. In, take handover, admin, plenty going on - aftermath of big job the day before - team come in for nights - opportunity for a briefing with them. Some more work falls out of that … trying to get volunteers for some unpopular training.

Back up to date. Checked yesterday’s work; integrated the best bits of a national document and now sent for checking. May well need a re-write after. Started an Equality Impact Assessment. Because we do that now. The TL:DR is it doesn’t impact at all. Not to any degree.

5/9 - early shift and no cover. Cleared the 80 odd emails accrued this week and have a detailed plan to rewrite an outdated policy document. Why? Because if shit goes wrong, it’s the second place they’ll look.
