Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

What Concerns You Most?

Thought this could be interesting to pass the time. What concerns you most about joining the PSNI? Shift work, dangerous work environment, carrying a firearm, the uniform, the exams? For me it would be the work / life balance. I have a family and currently live a pretty easy 9-5 life. I'm concerned I'd miss things at home…

Imagine they hit a member of the public or a child... I don't want to bring up politics at all but imagine they hit a loyalist civilian... tit for tat killings back on the streets. Would love to know the mindset behind these people and what they hope to achieve.

Exactly; we all saw the madness over the CS spray at the Ormeau Rd parade last year.

I'm sure this will be covered in GV and the various options covered. Carrying a firearm brings a lot responsibility and using it is rarely black & white. There are many consequences and pulling the trigger on another human should not be taken lightly.
