La polizia dice che uniformi inadatti che portano a testicoli e grumi schiacciati nel seno

Unless you are part of some super special unit that gets a blank cheque budget or you’re a senior officer, modern police officers can expect to be issued extraordinarily poor quality equipment that is the cheapest money can buy (or is bought from a company that the Chiefs mate owns). In the Constabulary in which I serve, it’s got to the point where when somebody who’s been around for a while leaves, their kit will be immediately set upon by newer officers because the older issue equipment is vastly better quality and looks far more professional. This is everything from stab vests, to batons to public order boots. I have to wear trousers 2 sizes larger than what I actually am because the “correct” size does not allow me to run, sit down or even use my pockets properly.

Of course, even more concerning:

“On numerous occasions, offenders have commented on how exposed our kit leaves us, and state that our kit acts as a target of where to be stabbed.”

And yet senior management in many forces still INSIST on having the bizarre hi-vis vest with a black shirt combo that not only looks awful but actually makes you easier to attack. Of course it doesn’t matter to them because they don’t leave the station or do any actual police work (unless it’s for a photo op where they’ll claim credit for someone else’s hard work). It just shows that all of the bollocks they spew about how they’re looking after their officers is just that.

At the force near me I know several women officers and they say they’ve pretty much all stopped wearing the official trousers due to *repeated* yeast infections. Apparently the last set didn’t do this but they changed supplier a couple of years ago and management have ignored the problem despite quite a few submitting GP notes.

If your uniform gives people multiple yeast infections so severe that doctors have to get involved it needs scrapping immediately.

I wonder if it’s West Yorkshire

It should be instant dismissal for anyone buying anything which leads to their workforce then buying the old stuff privately.

I bet they be madein China… all their fitting are small.
