Federation Operational Policing Lead Simon Kempton warns of ‘mission creep’ as police officers are pressured into taking on greater responsibility
In theory, it sounds like a great idea – ask officers to carry medical kit so they can literally be prepared for anything.
ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING GUNS ARE THE ANSWER This man was trying to self harm, he had the blade pointed at his own chest and Ben Jeffries was trying to take it off him when he got his hand sliced between thumb and forefinger. 12 stitches and lots of physio. So what you goons are saying is that if a mentally unstable man is trying to stab himself in the chest we shoot him to stop him from harming himself. Makes sense...

I am not a police officer but I regularly find myself confiscating drugs from people, restraining violent patients and dealing with the fallout of crime.
But it’s part of my job.

The British police are unbearably overstretched as it is. Asking them to be medics sounds like another way to wear them down, part of the ongoing war against the Office of Constable. When they're unable to cope with the violence epidemic we're expected to welcome military on the streets. It's all been planned out.
You don't call a plumber when you need an electrician. When you need a medic you need a medic.

Single-crewing is commonplace in a service that is feeling the brunt of issues around resilience.
The true extent of this problem was a significant finding in the recent analysis of PFEW’s officer welfare survey, with 73% of respondents saying they were single-crewed either often or always in the last 12 months. Officers are frequently ending up in vulnerable situations with little or no back up and from a welfare perspective, this is unacceptable.
