@MartynBeever1 I think there is some merit in the reservist model. If, like the reserves, the training and development was on par with the regulars and there was a much higher hour requirement. Albeit it also has downsides. But a Home Office feasibility study wouldn’t go amiss.

Unpopular opinion, but SCs shouldn’t be given Oyster Cards until they’re IPS as it’ll give them a bit of an incentive to get it done. (They can claim their travel to work either way so they’re only losing out on the “social use” of it.

@Ned_Donovan @SandfordSC @UnpaidCop @SC_Officer @Brick_Cop @metpoliceuk Yes! We had special *and regular SPOCs on each ERPT team when I was SCI on a BCU. It worked well. I did share the best practice with other SCIs to implement if they wanted.

@specials_101 @Ned_Donovan @SC__Dan I mostly agree. But we have to work within what the regulations will allow.

@VolunteerPlod @Ned_Donovan @Miles_PBH @SC__Dan @td_evans @RiceKeiran @specials_101 It’s on lever. But I know it has been successful when it is used for things like hours. So hoping the same for IPS. If people leave then perhaps that’s what is best sometimes. We need our Sgts to be able to focus their time of officers who are going to really add value to MPS.

@MetSpecial2 @MPSSpecials Discussions have happened on TASER. It is no quick decision and authorisation for all strands (regs) has been paused, whilst it’s assessed against Trust/confidence. Whilst important, it is not my personal top priority. We must fix the basics first IMHO, plenty to do on that.

@MetSpecial2 No significant progress to report. Albeit conversations being had. Some of the wider issues causes delays in decisions… which I can’t outline on Twitter. But safe to say… it’s something we are pushing/working on but a decision of that size is not a quick one.

@specials_101 Agreed. Whilst also supporting officers who may not always look/sound like others - diversity important even if Twitter wants to tear them apart for it. But needs to be professionally done else it’s a disservice to them.

@kentishfenman @MPSSpecials Hi Ian - I know this is frustrating for you and I did put you in touch with our new Head of Volunteering, who I know is working hard to get ready for a re-launch of these MPV/CBV initiatives. Hopefully there will be clarity soon.

@Miles_PBH @Ned_Donovan @VolunteerPlod @SC__Dan @td_evans @RiceKeiran @specials_101 Ah Miles you’re going to take my thunder away… this is part of the “other levers” that I spoke about in another post. I’m very optimistic that I can achieve something here - a far more streamlined process. Currently undergoing legal review after a lot of work on it. But 🤞🏻

@OldSweatProbie @MetSpecial2 @specials_101 @VolunteerPlod @metpoliceuk @MPSSpecials I think any min. Requirements for SCs will be above and beyond the IPS requirements. That process isn’t significant enough for TASER use - in my personal opinion.

@MetSpecial2 @MPSSpecials I’d think I’m proud of that. We don’t want to be called out separately with separate priorities. We want to be included in ALL the improvements mentioned where it says ‘officers’ we are included. The way it should be.

@SC__Dan @mark74brown @Miles_PBH @IainWatkinson @EmWilliamsOU Correct. They must resign. Of MSC leavers between 15-30% join the regular service in some form or another (home force or other force). The numbers went up with the Targeted Variable Payment in 2022-23. But I think average about 20%.

@kentishfenman @MPSSpecials I’m not sure Ian. They probably should! Though ours is focused on an official King’s medal provided specifically for special constables at certain points in their service.

@SC__Dan @Ned_Donovan We don’t actually need to do any admin to switch off the Oyster cards. It’s just an email. We need to back our supervisors when they do it and empower them. But it should be used more for those not actively contributing (hours/IPS etc) towards the Met.

@SANB13573113 Hi - no, the New Met for London plan aims to increase the overall size of the special constabulary.
