Casey review: elite units leave exhausted and overworked BCU officers behind

These issues are ones every force will recognise. As for officers having 25 jobs each, my local officers average 40-50 each and are so stressed they were paid a local bounty to try and stop them leaving.
Response has always been the poor ginger step-child to specialist departments.
If the NPCC stood up and determined that Police can no longer do the work of so called partner agencies due to being just as short of resources that would help.
There is definitely an issue with the new officers but that is not their fault, they're being sold a pup.
Royal Commissions have never solved anything as they make recommendations and have no power.
Things will shortly get worse when police get told they will get 3.5% pay increase and like it.
