Colleagues
Great colleagues which is subjective but everyone helps each other. Long hours, lots of pressure for stats and other tasks detracting away from core role of the job.

Overworked
Workload is extremely high with very little support. Supervision are too overworked themselves to assist with anything. Overall toxic workplace environment.

Don't bother
Awful place to work, people leaving in their droves. You are treated like something they stepped in. Same in all areas of the force and all location don't join and get out if you have before it makes you Ill.

My years as a police officer took me to varied jobs, from a cat up a tree ( yes we do get them ).Or to passing on a message to a loved one that a family member had died and becoming the liason officer between the family and the coroners officer.
