We really shouldn't be doing this, but...
Further to the previous post, heres another list of things that police do when they really shouldn't...We should... carefully crime and complete about 5 pages of paperwork on every assault where someone in the street, whether drunk or not, approaches us with an injury and says "He hit me. I don't wanna do nuffink though."
We normally... make sure not to ask them their name, and then let the controllers know that they have 'refused all details' and 'don't want to talk to us'.
We really shouldn't but some do... tell the annoying drunk to "***k off if you don't want to get locked up".
We should... remain neutral, impartial, and not allow our judgement to be changed by the attitude or behaviour of anyone that we are speaking to.
We normally... arrest people who fail the attitude test.
We really shouldn't but some do... have to be held back by their colleagues after taking great offence to being called "a f***ing c***" for the third time in the night.
We should... risk assess every situation carefully before making any decision on how to proceed
We normally... charge in head first
We really shouldn't but some do... risk assess every situation carefully, acknowledge that the correct course of action is to back off, and charge in head first
We should... be happy that we are being supported by unpaid volunteer special constable, giving up their time to help us
We normally... moan hugely when paired with 'another sodding special'
We really shouldn't but some do... moan hugely about the ineptitude of the special whilst being little better
We should... be happy, proffessional and courteous to the person explaining how seriously the text message from her ex are affecting her
We normally... speak courteously whilst secrelty thinking 'oh for f***'s sake"
We really shouldn't but some do... say "oh for f***'k sake get over it and ignore him. Change your phone if its that irritating."
We should... be happy that from all of the government statistics, we are greatly reducing crime
We normally... accept that the statistics are easily aletered and fiddled to appear however you want them to appear
We really shouldn't but some do... enjoy fiddling them to appear as if you are the best copper ever, and then get promoted so you can decide what the next most important statistics are.
We should... be happy that our superiors are intelligent, sensible people, with the best interests... actually forget that one, its bollocks.
Anyone think of any more?

I'm gobsmacked at some of the "we really shouldn't but some do". Thankfully I've never seen any of that.
I'd also disagree with the "we normally" set - again, I've yet to see any of that being the norm... though I have seen odd ones on very rare occasions.
Not sure where your force is... hope it's not where I live!
Nope, I definitely agree with all of the 'we normally's. Though please note my comments on the previous posts re cutting corners, and also that 'we normally' is not the same as 'we always'.
As for the 'we really shouldn't's, I have seen all of them done, as was probably just as gobsmacked as you. :)
This makes me laugh so much I cried. I think I've seen all most if not all of the categories and I wasn't even in a "big city force".
"We normally... moan hugely when paired with 'another sodding special'
We really shouldn't but some do... moan hugely about the ineptitude of the special.."
This is an interesting view. I would be interested in hearing if this is a general view, and why you think this view exists?
