    was listening to 96fm this morn. Neil Prenderville had Paul Williams speaking. And Paul Williams referred to Garda Management as being "Windy" and more interested in covering their own ass than that of the Garda on street.

    He's not far off the mark..

    It was the same in the Met..... They became so afraid of their own shadows one wondered sometimes whether they were on our side or not.

    well, Prenderville wasn't vocal in defending the polis, he was just quietly agreeing with Paul Williams.

    Me, Rant?

    Windy. A lovely phrase every manager wants to hear.

    Didn't hear the Paul Williams interview, but here's a fun game. Find the words below which he feels compelled to drop into every interview. A suspicious box of USA biscuits under the winners car tomorrow.

    Windy!! never:rolleyes:

    Is the latest custody record to help the system or make a member sign each page saying they are liable?

    If any of you get the chance read "Wasting Police Time"... thats where AGS is going, I dare you to read it and not recognise these situations.

    Example (from memory..may not be exact words): UK copper goes to domestic in council flat. He says she hit him/she say he hit her in kitchen of flat.

    Officer writes down to copper: Have you checked for C.C.T.V.?

    In Uk all calls to police are now given a crime reference number...even if its not a crime, copper has to investigate to reduce crime figures. All stop + searches now get a receipt saying why you were stopped/where/by whom etc.

    It's being done here, too. The amount of times I've gotten 'please explain' in relation to incidents reported that weren't even incidents to begin with ! Just poorly reported :rolleyes:.

    Still. I tend to laugh when a party doesn't wish to give a statement to Gardai..our management have it in such a way that we have no choice but to try to encourage them to make a statement to say they don't want to make a statement.

    I've been told where to go once or twice.
