Meet Suffolk Constabulary's Response Team

As part of a recent, week-long visit to Suffolk Constabulary, PolicingTV’s Bernard Rix met two members of Suffolk Constabulary’s Bury St Edmunds based Response team, PC Kizzy Waite and PC Katie Roberts.
They tell us about their work as well as what attracted them to a career in policing.
We also have an opportunity to take a look at their kit - radio, body worn video camera, PAVA spray, torch, handcuffs and baton - plus at the contents of, and the routine associated with, their police response car. "I've been a police officer for a year and a half, I've nearly come to the end of my probation. During your probation, you have a target that you have to meet: I'm probably at about 90% now, so I've got a little bit more to go".
"On response, I have a workload that I have to deal with, I'll go out to jobs from domestics to traffic incidents, it's very varied, no day is the same!" "I've been in the police for five and a half years, so that's a little bit longer. I've [worked on] response but I've also done a couple of other roles in my time. Like my colleague said, we deal with a variety of incidents, mainly doing initial response to all sorts of things: domestics, road traffic collisions, burglaries, mental health jobs, welfare checks...".

Funny how they don't wear the blue line "gang" badge in the official type videos.

[@neilwilkinson6315]

Katie , why no shoulder numbers ?

[@johnwalkup7060]

Going to the dentist is more fun than watching this

[@dannyross-wo4rm]

😂, think i would rather join you at the dentist,

[@ef7480]

point missed totally....keep watching 'gogglebox' or that 'jungle' thingy...

[@ef7480]

@@dannyross-wo4rm - 'will' and omit 'rather'👍

[@seanwoodyatt7342]

I take it you're being forced to watch this? Or are you too dumb to know how to scroll past posts.

[@s.wilson5675]

Auditing Britain had some fun in Bury St Edmunds.

[@ritch8088]

Surprised they never went hands on, and locked this guy up for recording them!

[@RodLawley-rj3rx]

Did they used to be in Bewitched ?

[@rocmoses4905]

They don't have to say all those things or answer those thing BUT look at them... They are so innocent and cute.

[@Philippositivity]

Kittywaiet, isn’t that a Bird that flies in the North yorkshire moors !🐦

[@godsgod1677]

It's weird to see police not loosing their minds over a camera, displaying inferiority complexes, not identifying, descending into childishness, walking into peoples' personal space or lying.

[@cliffordbuttle4529]

Some one must be grabing them by the balls very high pitched 😂😂😂😂

[@jamiemcm3238]

Why did they not detain and search this man recording the police station under section 43?

[@JohnMorten-px6my]

Just a PR exercise because the police are at an all time low. Like watching paint dry !

[@jackwhite333-y1z]

You wouldn't trust them as far as you could throw them would you. Their 2 tier policing is a disgrace, maybe those are the sort of questions you need to be asking these NPC's.

[@shivaunt71]

I'm going to complain to the KZbin and it's algorithms. You only have to watch auditors, citizen journalists and photographers to know in a couple of years these wonderful girls will end up like the rest of them.

[@zekeb2888]

I’d rather watch an Auditor’s Version no Suggar coding. Straight to the point, acountability of the Blue line gang of thugs😅

[@edrobins6739]

Very nice officers.

[@andrewstearn4625]

11.30pm the pub is full of pissed up hooligans all kicking off.... call for Kitty and her sidekick! Ffs

[@RichardJako-ic7xy]

If people enter my house with a police west and no cctv no walkitalkie radio was that fake police??

[@dantealighieri9540]

After looking at a lot of auditing video's abt the police, it really strikes me how little the police in the UK actually knows about the laws. Very poor knowledge. I hpe these ladies doe beter than thei tyrannical collegeas in those videos. Like actually informing the public that their body worn camera is turned on!

[@f.dmcintyre4666]

I thought this was going to be an auditor........ha ha ha...........Thanks.........Happy New Year.............

[@dantealighieri9540]

Me 2 :-)

[@quickstartguide1]

Well staged 😂😂😂😂

[@andrewdaley5480]

No comment. 🇬🇧

[@hadetbramatt]

Is this a piss take ¿?? I'm serious ??

[@OH2023-cj9if]

Using your radio whilst driving is illegal? I don't think that is correct, there are exemptions.

[@tmister007]

Unless it's for emergency reasons, you shouldn't. Read up on the exemptions, and NPCC guidance on radio usage.

[@leyland110]

Surprise no gang badge in sight

[@deaconjohn6838]

Instead of standing there do your job

[@Whiteandpolite21]

Such boring people, have you got nothing better to do?

[@stevenmarkhansen]

[@adam-p4n9p]
