Does no-one look at your shift roster? <BR/><BR/>Gazza you have reminded me, feck that would be two bleedin' Cost of Case docs to do that I forgot about. Oh well looks like I'll be chained to a desk again tonight then. Enjoy your break and actually it's been q.....!<BR/><BR/>Charlie,<BR/><BR/>Here's another belter. Colleague got a task on his crime report from the cops (!) who pick over them asking him to select an option from those available in respect of whether HE was injured (and if so how badly) on the new upgrade to the crime recording system witness fields. Bear in mind he attended and filed a call where it was clearly unlikely he was in physical peril and he had not mentioned anything about assault/resist Polis why doesn't the damn thing default to not applicable?<BR/><BR/>I know why....<BR/><BR/>1) Those stat mad types want proactive responses.<BR/><BR/>2) It keeps the 'checkers' in a job.<BR/><BR/>Every time I complete a crime report I feel like I'm back at school and going to get a mark out of one hundred (it's actually 6 - no kidding) and hopefully no see me after class notations.McNoddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433976270647799322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514377357336356111.post-11323320986107448532007-07-25T19:28:00.000+01:002007-07-25T19:28:00.000+01:00The paperwork is one side of the job that they neg...The paperwork is one side of the job that they neglect to tell you about in all the glossy recruitment brochures and fancy web pages. it disgusts me sometimes.<BR/>We recently had to complete a Cost of Case document. Almost 10 pages. And that was just the instructions on how to fill out the 4 page excel spreadsheet.<BR/>Someone (higher up) mentioned it should only take a couple of minutes to do. Pah. A couple of days more like. What an absolute waste of time, money and valuable resources.

Like recently We have been told we must acheive 3 santion detections a month. To get the percentage up. I said why not leave us alone and allow us more time to be pro-active thus reducing the number of recorded crimes and therefore the percentage of detected crimes would go up, but the boss couldn't see it that way.Charlie Limahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499887741103924265noreply@blogger.com
