    I’ll be handing in notice this week. It’s a little scary leaving stable job to effectively ‘study’/ take a pay cut but there’s nothing else I wanna do.

    I say first day as that's when your service starts and start getting paid.

    I'll do that :)

    I recommend Babylon with Jimmy Nesbitt. It follows the big wigs, an armed response team and a TSG crew in the met.

    If you want some comedy the Brooklyn Nine Nine is great.

    This one is military based but still worth a watch; Bluestone 42. It's a comedy drama following bomb disposal in Afghanistan. Lots of black humour as they cope out there.

    And of course Line Of Duty. Only started watching it a few months ago. Did a double take when they were driving down the York Road in Belfast lol

    All on Netflix :)

    It is; makes you think about the challenges faced by armed response. And then the politics of the higher ups.

    Nice. Valley seems like everyday Constable stuff. Really down to earth and different from a lot of cop action programmes on. Statements, looking at cctv, policing on the ground and an insight into the people they are policing.

    I'll get on that as I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix too. May get our TV bingeing in now :D

    Oh and I'll fit a passport photoshoot in at some stage too :p

    I found it stressful there would be a few weeks that would be ok and then weeks in a row that were just so intense like exams practicals and assessments seemed to all be at once!

    Well it was certainly windy around teatime but nothing hair raising with me.

    Was chatting with some police friends who agreed that joining the police is a great career; it's the first 20 years that suck lol :D

    Wasn’t much happening my way. Good to see a lot of prevantative action getting people home early. Popped onto some of the traffic times around half five and the roads were empty, handful of cars of the m1! Something like 28 days later.
