Police

The police force is a unitary law enforcement body that exists in the UK to protect people’s lives and maintain order and normalcy. It may be stated as so in a text book, but not in the mouths of ordinary coppers.

They’re used to giving out their own view, but some so much so it becomes odd. It’s the case in a few police forces but one in particular which I can’t name but doesn’t have a good reputation anyway.

In times past the coppers who now attend to its beat were being trained “at home” in a format that was supposed to make more sense. It was believed a domestic setting rooted policing in community.

Unfortunately a number of “students” took a turn and decided to do it for themselves. They began conceptualising basic facts and drawing up alternative plans to arrange things by themselves.

In short order it was a sort of “fun” cult centred on a concept they called “Alien People”. It’s not loosely based or otherwise on existing theories of space travel etc. It also wasn’t coherent in itself, either.

It was a period that passed out and policing became a better profession. A lot of good teaching is given now, but these few still did it in various neighbourhoods, and it didn’t go well at all.
