Its that kind of job when we should be allowed to use our own common sense and using the rule of “justifying actions on scene…” and punch some F…ing sense into them.

I believe a good neck stamping would of been in order too!

Yip, I’ve seen someone. Angrier than usual with the underclass yesterday. Was hurtling through Northtown on lights and sirens to a suspected MI when we got flagged down by a bloke about 20. This was at 1730 hours.

Radiod conrol who allocated a job number and would of had to find another crew for the 64 year old having a heart attack. “my mates collapsed” sais young man 1.

“What happened?” says I.

“He’s pretty pissed, we’ve been drinking since 11am” says young man 1.

Red mist crept into my field of vision, a target forming between the too close together eyes.

Combined with last nights whisky my thoughts were extreme. Please accept my apologies.

You should be able to Google SWAB. It’s a new government driven directive, funded by the home office, aimed at reducing the volume of inapropriate calls from those citizens classed as “D” and “E”s. Basically the populus that even pizza hut dont want to know.

As I understand it, and I was introduced by kingmagic, the main aim is to reduce call volume by tackeling the issue at source. Effectivly cuttting off the head of the snake. It is a proactive, achieving, socially sensitive, non-discriminatory unit that will even employ redheads.

Hopefully the unit will prove effective in dealing with cultural, social and ethical issues in an understanding and empathatic manor reducing the need and/or desire to beet the fuck**g crap out of stupid, undereducated, lazy, dole leaching, chav scum. If not were there any way – so why not.

This is my take. Wait to see what the boss says.

What is this SWAB that you’ve been talking about. I thought it was all a little fiction thing that you’d got going to have a bit of fun? Am I wrong?

It does make a big difference as sometimes we can do upto 15 jobs in a shift!
Thats freeing crews up from attending, transporting, booking in and cutting down on turn round times.
The police officer does not drive, hes there for any public order jobs sent from police control and also gives me a hand if a job gets difficult.
As a combined agency role it works really well for us and for the police.
Still working on SWAB…just need to find the time to allocate jobs to the lads.

I like the sound of this as a combined taskforce thing. Does it make a big difference to freeing up other crews?

Also do you share the driving? I bet it’s dependent on the car!

Are there going to be coppers in SWAB as a tactical restraint and beeting unit?

Seriously? Just thrown out of the car? Scrotes indeed.
