There has been another pursuit with the cigarette burglars.
It was started down here,
and continued in through here.
Initially it was just the Senior Constables on the local van,
but was soon joined by a number of units from the northern suburbs.
Obviously they were adhering
to the new pursuit policy....
Superintendent....
The members.....
The members appeared to be intent upon
arresting the offenders
Anyone who has arrested an offender in the last 10 years, leave the room now.
I said no pursuits!
I now another pursuit!
I hope you're going to tell me we arrested every single cigarette burglar on the planet!
Every single one!
And there will never be another one!
And why weren't you out there?
Making sure those damned Senior Connies
were wearing their high visibility vests?!
Superintendent I was busy monitoring Harpers Compliance.
The only one wearing it was the new trainee from the academy!
Superintendent, one of the Sergeants was also wearing it.
He's upgraded to Sergeant. Thats doesn't count.
And damaged police vehicles?
Two of our divisional vans,
three state of the art TMU cars and
and that stupid Territory that no one wants to drive.
The new pursuit policy clearly states to all members
that they are to smile and wave whilst the offenders drive past them!
Is that soo hard to grasp?
Your members seem intent upon chasing every tiprat they see.
They need to spend more time on Interpose.
They need to follow my shining example...
They need to embrace the five year plan
Valuing..
our people cannot be implemented whilst our members are out there
engaging in high risk behaviour like pursuits, and spraying
every crook that looks at them the wrong way
They don't even conduct thorough risk assessments,
let alone alter their behaviour accordingly.
Its' ok. They're invincible.
I just want us to act like a modern corporation.
No swearing in the office, and lots of flowers
about the office.
And no more drinking.
I find violence repulsive. But those Senior Connies in paricular
seem to revel in it.
Let's sing Kumbaya.
