Kent Police (UK) reviews

Not enough call takers as they get through training then leave because it's so stressful, Team Leaders are useless and will not help you when asked, no support or time between difficult calls. If you want a job here I hope you like being sworn at.

Kent Police's priorities are all wrong. Too much focus on how they would be percieved by the mass public, than how effective their constables tackle crime. Hierarchy are too concerned with statistics, even if the reported incident is not really a crime, officers are actively encouraged to pusrsue some form of sanction. Most of the time this is not required. You needlessly criminalise or over victimising someone for the sake of another charge/disposal to make your statistics look good. This has the knock on effect of taking good officers away from pro-active policing, the 'boots on the ground'. Too heavy emphasis on diversity and inclusion. If a particular role, lets say firearms has less women, its because they don't want to be firearms officers. Likewise, holding recruitment events exclusively for ethnic minorities is positive discrimination.
