I attended a seminar put on by the London metro cops. One on the Lts. in an out fit in the UK was an ex-London metro cop. The Constables were a very brave and forthright group. Later in life, I met a former constable who left the force because of the abuse (physical and emotional) at the hands of the English public. He told me that based upon his experience that no one respected the cops and the crime was getting so bad that he feared that he would gunned down in the street. He didnt' carry a gun and none of them did. I spoke with a retired Inspector who told me that the bad guys were getting so bold that stabbing or shooting a Constable could buy one respect, He told me that the British public was the problem because they could not believe that things were so bad that Constable had to be armed. The public was wrong as usual.

Thank you for such an interesting and informative video dedicated to the British police in the second half of the 20th century. Can you help me determine what kind of musical composition is playing at the end of the video and who is the author of it?

How times change

the lad between 2.15 and 2.20 being told he has failed his initial test to get in the Job, is Ken Lovell. It obvious that they have taken a bit of artistic licence here as he was a former cadet who passed out of Hendon and he worked with me at Kings Cross nick, ND. He went on to be a DC in the Murder Squad at the Yard. Now retired and living in Florida where he teaches scuba diving of all things. Top bloke and top old bill. I also worked with the former Captain of the RMP who is at 4.23. God time really does fly

I was at Hendon in 03, class Captain and driller. The block was a shit hole.

Law & Order.

LA Confidential (1997) stole one of the out-takes from this film: Captain Dudley Smith: Would you be willing to plant corroborative evidence on a suspect you knew to be guilty, in order to ensure an indictment? Ed Exley: Dudley, we've been over this. Captain Dudley Smith: Yes or no, Edmund? Ed Exley: No! Captain Dudley Smith: Would you be willing to beat a confession out of a suspect you knew to be guilty? Ed Exley: No. Captain Dudley Smith: Would you be willing to shoot a hardened criminal in the back, in order to offset the chance that some... lawyer...

You gimps be hating on cops

Pigs

If this happened now he would have been arrested for assaulting the low life

Application form: Have you got big boots? Do you have a penchant for violence? Are you a racist? Are you homophobic? Are you a misogynist? Are you good at lying and falsifying statements? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then a career in the Metropolitan Police Force awaits you. Even if you answer "no" to one or two, don't worry, you could still be a successful candidate, as you will receive special training.

Please do not go heavy handed with people filming at police stations some people like myself I am pro police but when you go heavy handed and abusing section 1 of PACE and Section 43 all because they are filming in a public place doing nothing wrong their is some are good police some are bad, if you might get rid of your tv shows EG: Motorway Cops and Traffic Cops and Road Wars, please that is why their is a disconnect with the public when you watch the things i seen on youtube. I like seeing different kinds of police vehicles.

How do u solve it

If you had a tit on your head you can paint it blue and join the force

The main reason cops don’t carry guns is when they open fire the safest place to stand is in front of the gun provided they dont shoot them selfs in the foot first

Note the total blank look on the faces of these coppers .....and they have only been asked there names

On entering Hendon school of thuggery errr story police college the first thing you have to do is submit yourself for brain surgery .its a simple procedure and painless.we remove your brain (if you have one )and then fit a device know as a Nickomotor.put in a Duracell battery and you are then let loose on the public .this device iliminates the need to think for your self and gives you the power to stop and search anybody that is heaverley taned(black) and also enables you to lock on to bycycles with faulty back lights ....and with the built in antenna in your helmets you can locate the nearest doughnut shop

Saw two flat footed rozzers in bishops gate the other day the looked like a couple of circus migets

I thought that all coppers where born with wheels ...never seen one out of a patrol car

There a throw back from the b.u.f.(British union of fachists) or black shirts bunch of government hired thugs

Do they keep there sandwiches under those helmets

I could see he was have it trouble filling out the form question 1what is your name ..errrrr. Don’t know sir where’s the nearest doughnut shop how soon can I get my lavish pension

I was there in 1988 , great memories ! Did my 30 yrs.

Wow, I joined in 1979. This brings back some memories.

Your character plays a big part in your suitability.

I joined in March 1980 and what a nostalgic reminder. Can honestly say I was proud to have served with such a grand bunch of guys and girls.

Blimey, telling that applicant "you've led a sheltered life" ? What a thing to say. No empathy or insight that the poor girl may be a lesbian.

Anyone who's 12 and like fuck is this

That blond recruit at 1.35 looks really cute...wonder where she is now?

Better days when before the UK had so called modern policing. Sadly the cops nowadays are generally bullies in uniform with few social skills

The good old days when Cops were allowed to be Cops.

I was here as a Cadet and as a Constable, from July 1984 to December 1985. I retired in July 1990 with 'Exemplary Conduct' rating.

7:25 This is sexist. Why don't they swap over and let the women tow the men?

The job has changed so much, not always for the best either

I was there in 1981........seems like only a couple of years ago sometimes.

Social Engineering has changed the Police Force for the WORSE.

Cor blimey when police looked smart rather than today, like dustmen or builders in overalls lol.

Failed school but are still willing to harass anyone at any time for any reason for peanuts? Join the Blue Klux Klan today!

I'd always like to join do my time on the beat then apply for CID a detectives life for me

"that's it then, they want me to join on the 15th next month"..... haha as if it was like that nowadays.... I'm already a Special in the same force and my application to the regulars from application to appointment has taken almost 1 year. Due to start training next month.

Patterson is still a cop and I've seen him on KZbin!

when did the height restrictions end?

7:31 Why did they get rid of that bit of the training course? Because nowadays they're not public servants, they're crown servants. Just ask any Police officer! If an officer who did train in water rescue came across a real life rescue scenario, I'm pretty sure they would be expected to stand by and do nothing.

4:05 More like brainwashing by rogue officers like ex Metropolitan Police officer PC Adam Hayes who has since become Inspector 4153 Adam Hayes of Norfolk Constabulary and was put in charge of the Norwich South Safer Neighbourhoods Team. Fortunately he has now retired!

This is soo weird to watch 🙄😐

upon graduation , PC Patterson thinks to himself,..." now the real education begins! and they thought the Krays were real geezers.... birds, dope, and claret everywhere for me!"

John Patterson thinks to himself,..." hmmmm, I can fuck, fight or fish"( fishing sucks, no polly's to shag.....okay, I'll FIGHT!!!) three laps around the track, a fe mock fights, marching like dipshits, then a pint of guiness- voila' , " welcome to the Sweeny"...

A job for life back then. Bit different these days: Join up for a few years, get rapidly disillusioned about the fact you're not allowed to chase villains any more and have to attend endless diversity courses instead, realise that everybody else is getting paid a lot more for taking a lot less shit, jack it in and go an get a proper jobs that pays proper money, with no night shifts. Jobs fucked. Looks good on your CV though!

Brings back happy memories!
