I recon there must be a few ex members of the church on here as well.....
That's one above PCSOI’m a member of neighbourhood watch
I’ve only just stuck a sticker on the door too
Got dressing gown, bourbons and tea, but lacking basque and minge!
Had my share of barely adequate patrol vehicles metros etc but fortunately they didn’t have to be that reliable as in some of the more interesting areas if there wasn’t a spare unit to watch your vehicle while at call it was often on fire or lacking window glass by the time you got back to it. One gem though for 2 years my patrol vehicle a ford sierra sapphire cosworth 4 x 4. What a tool. Had to fit a Kevlar under tray as it would bottom out but otherwise awesome. The entertainment to be had whilst obviously keeping your vehicle handling skills up to scratch when it was quiet.
When I was on RPU I had a pretty good relationship with the local cruisers. The arrangement was that if they didn't arse about I'd stuck up for them and try and get them left alone. It worked well, they largely behaved and because they thought I was alright they'd keep an eye on the mobile for me while I snuck off for a cheeky cig.
One day I was on leave and another lad went down and was throwing his weight about so they set fire to his car.
It's all about building those relationships!
Never park next to a tower block.

In Marsh Farm, Luton, you had to have a "spotter" ready to approach the flats on foot when "community tensions" were high, fridges and paving slabs were known to fall off balconies as you approached otherwise. The spotter would call out any movement from a distance. Lovely.
The most unusual vehicle that I have seen is some sort of 300 series Volvo perhaps a 340 dark blue when passing through the Chepstow area a few years ago. The officer had removed outer cloth s to a shirt and other identifiers so that anyone looking in a mirror would probably not recognise his authority. The car was unmarked 1980's, 1990's sort of vintage. I had witnessed this vehicle being driven extremely close to the vehicle in front even when negotiating busy roundabouts. I have passed through Chepstow on a number of occasions a few years ago and witnessed this happening to other drivers. One day going through the area It happened to me. At one point he dipped his head down below the dash and then started to insert something into a box which seem to be part of the central dash. I guess this to be a recording device. I ignored him over several miles. Eventually he over took me perhaps out of frustration. I wished that I had a recording camera because I would have taken legal advice and sort to out him and force some sort of action. In my opinion he was driving in an extremely dangerous manor! If I had recourse to brake sharply he could not have avoided a collision and that is exactly the same manor of driving I had seen him perform before. I have no idea what he was trying to achieve I was not speeding I can only guess that he was trying to induce me to do so, which I declined.
In the early days I was posted to Skelmersdale (Liverpool overspill new town). We had force boundaries with Merseyside and Greater Manchester. We paupers in Lancs used to lust after Merseysides Escort RS2000s and 3.0L Capris and GMPs Lotus Sunbeams and Lotus Carlton. Happy days!
Quite a few force have had fast Lotuses (Loti?) over the years. Impreza's and Evo's, V8 Jags and Lexus' were also about in the 00's.
The R1's were quick, but I only had the off-road bike ticket so never got to play. These days my hip aches just looking at one.
