Just noticed this.
Apparently you can come off the streets and be a detective in Humberside (and everywhere else) within 12 weeks.

It's worth realising that haidressers have a longer training period than Police Officers.
EDIT: The average Detective Constable Salary is £40k rising to £48k after 7 years.

Did t know that, accept your point , he must have either been extremely competent or lucky my daughter should do well based on her knowledge capabilities etc in my opinion ,but if you get a lazy / rubbish sergeant early one you may not go anywhere / maybe Couzens made a good mate above him - manipulative nature again.
Did he 'rise' through the ranks, or is it a sideways move where he remained a Constable?
.... says someone who only today has already resorted to responses of "****ing laughable" and "****ing ridiculous statement" and "for the last time".
**** me, pot, kettle, black.
I’m a bit sick of you following me around so give it up eh
You don’t think players have always sought revenge or got in first with a nasty dirty challenge or even been told to do it by the manager that’s fine
It displays your complete lack of knowledge about professional football or football in general but you hold onto that thought
Go you
Cressida Dick's Overdue Resignation - By Henry Goodwin
Good morning. Cressida Dick has resigned. ‘Resigned’ might give her too much agency. She is leaving her post as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, an institution where she has worked in one capacity or another since 1983. Dick announced last night that she had been left with “no choice” but to step down after Sadiq Khan, the London mayor, made it clear that he had no confidence in her leadership.
Khan said he was “not satisfied” with Dick’s response to “root out” endemic racism, sexism, homophobia, bullying and misogyny at Scotland Yard. “He has left me no choice but to step aside,” Dick - who recently agreed a two-year contract extension - said. It is a significant and welcome show of strength by the mayor. But Cressida Dick’s resignation isn’t some City Hall power play. It’s not about Sadiq Khan at all. Nor is it about Boris Johnson. This isn’t about Partygate. It’s not about the Met’s dilly-dallying over whether or not to investigate lockdown breaches at Downing Street. It isn’t about a suitcase of wine or a cheeseboard - not ABBA, not a Zoom quiz, nor those photos of a tinsel-clad prime minister. There is no comparison to be drawn between Dick’s resignation and Johnson’s lack thereof.
It is about Jean Charles de Menezes, shot seven times in the head at Stockwell Tube station in July 2005 in an operation led by Dick. De Menezes, a 27-year-old Brazilian electrician, was mistaken for a terrorist two weeks after the 7/7 bombings because he looked “suspicious” and “had *****lian eyes”. No officer was prosecuted for the killing and Dick - the senior commander in the control room throughout the operation - was spared any blame. “My feelings about this lady are very simple,” the cousin of De Menezes said this week. “I think she had to resign 16 years ago.
It is about Daniel Morgan, a private detective found dead in a south London pub car park in 1987, an axe in the back of his head. Met corruption is alleged to have played a part – both in the killing itself and the subsequent cover-up. An official report branded Scotland Yard “institutionally corrupt” and personally censured Dick for obstructing the investigation. The Met – her Met – was accused of misleading the public and putting worries about its reputation above rooting out police malfeasance.
It is about Sarah Everard - kidnapped, murdered and raped by a serving office in Dick’s Met, who brandished his warrant and handcuffs to coerce the 33-year-old marketing executive into his car. It’s about the fact that he, Wayne Couzens, had been accused of two cases of indecent exposure two days earlier, but was still allowed to roam the streets. It’s because he strangled her with his police belt. Because his fellow officers knew he was “attracted to violent sexual pornography” as early as 2002. Because he was nicknamed “The Rapist” at a previous job - and because officers felt comfortable enough to speak “supportively of him” in court.
And it is about Charing Cross, where an officer had sex with a vulnerable woman inside the police station. Where officers joked about raping and hitting women, laughed about the deaths of black babies and the Holocaust and boasted about visiting sex workers. Where one officer wrote to a female colleague: “I would happily rape you… if I was single… if I was single I would happily chloroform you.” Whereafter a police spokesperson said “we do not believe there is a culture of misogyny in the Met”.
Dick’s resignation is about these things and so many more, things which made headlines and things which did not. It is about a culture in which violence and brutality has been accepted and normalised and immunity from consequence is a given. Her departure won’t save the Metropolitan Police. It is too broken, its problems and prejudices too institutionalised. But that is a story for another day. Cressida Dick was a public servant who failed the public, time and time again. Her departure is long overdue.

Not half....I guessing £250k a year.
ps.....That's a low end guesstimate.
Re: Couzens.....
Didn't he start as a special? Then worked his way up without the adequate vetting procedures. Someone's head had to roll.
Gawd help us lol, however this looks like it's more related to the civilian investigators working alongside and for the police. Due to the austerity measures the police numbers were gradually reduced, losing a lot of experience at the same time, they have been employing civilian investigators to help deal with the shortfall for some time now.
Alas some people can start an argument in an empty house ! Devoid of attention springs to mind.
She won’t get a pension of £250k a year Her salary was less then that when she was appointed
(Oddly she negotiated for £230k instead of the £270k she was offered which may have been for tax reasons)
Even if she’s on £300k now her pension won’t be as high as you suggest
I imagine she’ll get by though
Naming no names. Sadly there are a few on here who are proficient at that. If you don't agree with their opinion you'll get dogs abuse. They don't seem to appreciate that a board of this nature contains a broad church of opinions and views. The only opinion that counts is theres. Sad really. I suppose that's the nature of the beast. Rant over

You appear to have an inflated opinion about yourself. I'm not following you around at all, but, while some won't answer you back, I will if I choose to thanks.
Maybe you should take a look in the mirror. Time and again you are the one who comes out with some unnecessary, demeaning, insulting, know it all like comment. You've done it again in your latest response; you just can't help yourself.
You give it up then you'll have nothing to be sick of.
Back on topic, there's a big difference between letting an opponent know you are there, or retaliating, versus before the game even starts consciously determining you are out to cripple someone. It really isn't difficult to understand.
I've played and watched football for 50 some years, and still even play now, albeit only 5 a side these days.
- Dame Cressida, 61, has pensions estimated to pay out £160,000 a year
- Outgoing Met Commissioner likely to get a pay-off in the region of £575,000
- She will retire to the £1million country home she shares with her partner, Helen
