Its been a while folks, but luckily I had some annual leave I had to take before the end of the year.
I returned to work yesterday, and the time off had made me look at situations in a different light.
I caught 2 shoplifters yesterday.
The first was a 67 year ld man who stole a sandwich from boots, I took it back for him and let him get on his way.
The second was a guy who ran out of sports direct with a new pair of adidas trainers on his feet - he got lifted, but onl after I told him not to bother trying to nick them again as they obviously couldn't make him run faster than me.
I then attended a report of a burglary dwelling as I was only two streets away and I had heard a female pc shout up for the job even though she wa single crewed.
I instinctively went straight to the back of the house as my colleague entered through the front door, it was only when I was in the house and seen that my colleage had her baton out, that I wondered what the hell I would do if someone was there.
Maybe I could hit them with my enormous hat!!!
Luckily for us the offenders had left the scene, and didnt seem to have taken anything.
I then attended a resident group meeting, where the main complaint they had was that schoolkids are dropping litter - at least the serious crime has been knocked on the head!
I will try to keep the blog going as best I can, though I am currently juggling work, wife and three kids. Stay safe.
