Rumours are rife and information of any substance is distinctly absent at the start of the day. The Command Team are not happy with the vote and are suggesting the Fed may want to agree to the 10 hour option after all - despite the vote being against it is just one rumour. Mix into that a suggestion the Fed is going to inform the Home Office they have no confidence in the Chief and rumours about a very senior officer being caught in his office in a very compromising position with his secretary. All making a slow day pass a bit quicker.
Work continues however, a caller suggests he has been kidnapped, his car stolen from him and his life threatened. This happened 24 hours ago and he has only just reported it, and cannot wait at a nick to be seen, makes one think it is a load of rubbish - but you never know. Surprise surprise it turns out he bought a car from someone but did not pay, they took it back, and he made the rest up to get a quicker response. The problem is it worked, well sort of.
Information now from the union, the Police Staff have not agreed anything yet and will not be changing shifts on 28 January when the cops change. There will be a vote for them at some point.
The Chief has instructed all Divisional Officers to tell the cops that team 3 will be split up and 4 teams not 5 will be working from 28 Jan, (makes sense as an 8 hour shift needs 4 teams not 5), but he has given the Fed 1 week to change their mind and accept what he wants. Sorry but is that democratic, the vote rejected what he wanted! Not only that but as long as he is the Chief there will be no further change of rota. Bullying, intimidation, undemocratic, all words that come to mind.
Never mind there might be a vacancy in the Met before long - here's hoping!
Wonder what will be flying around the force tomorrow
