You've Got The Power

Mr Bill learned about the power of arrest and there's much to learn and it's only going to get worse as time goes on.
Indictable and summary offences and the differences, when you give which type of caution (there are 3), and what add-ons, to a suspect, when you are allowed to arrest someone – there are several different reasons for arresting and that does not refer to all the different crimes they may have committed …. I could go on but unless you are thinking of becoming a police officer it is probably more than enough already!
Mr and Mrs Bill have now found a cure for insomnia - Mr Bill was finding reading through some of his notes hard going so I offered to help and within a few minutes he was sleeping peacefully - I don't think that is supposed to happen ☺

Mr Bill caught his first criminal today – okay so it is unlikely that a criminal would have found his way onto HQ, got in through the electronic doors and then been able to start rummaging through personal bags - but he was wearing a hoodie so he had made an effort to look the part. The trainer drew the recruits’ attention to this miscreant and asked them what they were going to do about it. Immediately Mr Bill leapt up out of his chair and gave chase. The felon ran fast, but so did Mr Bill and eventually after a hazardous chase, Mr Bill caught hold of the culprit. Yes, it was all set up – but everyone was amazed that not only could Mr Bill move so fast (for such an old bloke) but also so much faster than the rest of them.
It will be interesting to see what stunts the trainer comes up with on the day they are going to learn about stolen cars, murder or riots.

Mr Bill is looking forward to being paid soon which is good as the little Bill's all had new trainers today.
