Although logically we should be covered, being in the city and all that, it is not happening. IT seems that as a rule, the scuzzier council estate, the least likely that the radio works. Funnily enough, the radio does not work in the canteens, writing rooms or custodies either... Maybe if they were strenghten the signal or place more masts to support it, then maybe. Oh and the telephone facility is just rubbish - if one is to put such an option into the radio, then make it a proper one or don't bother at all. I've lost the will to live on those rare occasions I have had to use the phone option, as the signal is so bad that the phonecall would terminate usually within 10seconds. Vegar,

However, I have heard my mates in rural areas have had problems with coverage, and I myself have been at an incident in a building once where my airwave has had no signal. Not a major problem if there is a phone nearby, but if you need to hit the red button..... Boss, if your event at the end of summer is like our one (or the same one???), the office monkeys are happy to come out, just for the freebie. Sun, music, short skirts and icecreams. As long as they are on day shifts, it's not too hot, they are not in the pandas dealing with non-stop G1's, and they dont have to work overtime, arrest a non-compliant suspect, or cover the G2 (mini-motos's, nuisance youths etc) jobs away from the main event, they will be happy. So one office monkey told me himself anyway... Vegar, I personally don’t have a problem with airwaves, but I work in an urban area with a good signal in the main.

Or something similar Pain in the ass, tons of work with little thanks, in fact whilst Queeny is quite a decent spud and speaks too and thanks the cops that twat of an excuse for a husband called Phillip actually orders the Chiefs when he visits to make sure officers on uniform are not on show when he does his little tours as 'he doesn't like seeing them!' Before anyone jumps on me, I actually quite like the fact we have a monarchy and dont mind them in general but twats like this who we are putting our asses on the line for make me want to hurl!

Probably a high profile - non tolerance sort of thing, extra uniforms on the streets, may even be when itis dark. Lots of 'extra' resources to deal with any arrests, there might even be some response left to respond, or to deal with the hand-over dross. Then home in time for tea & medals.
