As you can see by the title i am looking for a new job, notice handed in etc etc etc
I need your help guys/girls/unknown, Do you guys know of the names of logistic companies in Cambridgeshire, mainly around Peterborough way?.
I have a Cat C but need the CPC, but i am willing to drive vans to start of with.
Blimey, your career as a copper didn’t last long ! welcome to the real world …
how come the change?
What happened, why did you get the sack?
Micky hope you gave the matter some very serious thought as it really is an excellent career.
Maybe not as many perks and benefits as it once had, but its still a good job.
Go on the VOSA website and get a list of operators in the area you want. I think Harry knows the link, he gave it to me 
I will admit, i didn’t make the standard required of a copper, but i did meet the standard as a PCSO, which i regret leaving the role. I know the job had it perks but to be honest, it is right thing to move on. I’ve been spat at, kicked and punched in the time as a copper and it’s sort of making my wife ill thinking i will come home in a body bag - Yes the job is dangerous and it’s not nice knowing that the next person you speak to might want to attempt to do something with you!. That’s not healthy at all. I don’t give a ■■■■ what people will think of me but i do know i am a hard worker and think of others around me, hence why i did the job.
Now i am looking for a job and i have 4 weeks till my next wage comes in. I’ve already spent most of the night searching the net and sending emails of about jobs has i hate being out of work.
Harry Monk, do you have that link as stated by another poster so i can have a look etc, cheers. Oh i also didn’t get the sack i handed in my notice before i had a case conference ( Reg 13 )

Fair play for being honest about and I’m really sorry for you as I know you worked towards it for a long time.
What about the company cruise control works for … Bourne something or other.

Respect for giving it a go Micky.
I won’t ■■■■■■■■, I KNOW I would never have been capable of that job, I’ve seen coppers when out on a Saturday night getting crap off the idiots and drunks.
Getting abuse, spat at, thrown up on, threatened and generally just getting the sort of crap that I’d last 10 seconds doing.
I was a Bus driver back in 2000 and jumped between busses, coaches and taxis until 2007 when I decided, in general, the public are a bunch of dicks and I didn’t want to deal with them anymore.
I think, if you could hack it as a bobby a few more years and get transferred out onto traffic or armed response or some other speciality, the job would be ace, but those couple of years would be HARD IMHO.
Have you tried your local police for the recovery / vehicle movement position? I applied a few years back (5 or so) and never heard anything back, but you might be the ideal candidate.
Tough luck Mickey, you sound far to honest and hard working to be a copper…Two attributes that are not required in our police Force…
Tho hanging the job out like some agency Drivers do, is.

Another job I would never have considered. I remember how bad we were as kids, and we were angels compared to kids these days - and I’m under no illusions that we weren’t little gits, but kids now Jeez

Very interesting useful link that, thanks. Been wanting something like that for years.
I see I’m listed there too: “continuation not sought” July 2009. 
Think very carefully micky before leaving .
I have made 3 big mistakes in my life, the first was getting married to my
first and big ex wife , second was leaving the police force after 3 yrs and the
third was letting my class 1 licence expire before my health got to bad
to get another one .
61 yrs old now and regretting it all .
Still who knows what is around the corner .
Good luck .

I have no choice mate but to leave. I am going to be reg 13 which is below,
13.–(1) Subject to the provisions of this regulation, during his period of probation in the force the services of a constable may be dispensed with at any time if the chief officer considers that he is not fitted, physically or mentally, to perform the duties of his office, or that he is not likely to become an efficient or well conducted constable.
(2) A constable whose services are dispensed with under this regulation shall be entitled to receive a month’s notice or a month’s pay in lieu thereof.
(3) A constable’s services shall not be dispensed with in accordance with this regulation and any notice given for the purposes thereof shall cease to have effect if he gives written notice to the police authority of his intention to retire and retires in pursuance of the said notice on or before the date on which his services would otherwise be dispensed with; and such a notice taking effect on that date shall be accepted by the police authority notwithstanding that less than a month’s notice is given.
(4) Where a constable has received a notice under this regulation that his services are to be dispensed with and he gives written notice of his intention to retire and retires under paragraph (3), he shall nevertheless be entitled to receive pay up to and until the date on which the month’s notice he has received would have expired or where he has received or is due to receive a month’s pay in lieu of notice he shall remain entitled to that pay notwithstanding the notice he has given under paragraph (3).

Trust me, i don’t want to go, but i feel better in myself and less worked up knowing that i can be normal and not worry about what’s going on around me. Ask the Mrs!! i once followed a car into North London because i thought she was drunk, and this was whilst being on leave.
I have spent the last week talking and thinking about it and i think it is right thing to do
Mickey, you have my greatest admiration for telling people what’s happened. Well done, sorry it didn’t work out. Good luck with that job hunt.
Ade.

How about HATO or even VOSAstappo? You must be pretty switched on to become a porker?
Good luck to whatever you decide, are you going back to being a pretend porker?
Wish i was a porker!!! saying that there is a high risk of catching a STD
