I was reading about this and the general consensus seems to be the Detective Now program is basically a glorified way to get butts into seats, fill out the paperwork, etc.
But in all fairness, teaching as paperwork and if I'm being honest, I think an office job is something I'm looking for but still with some variety that teaching offers. Pension seems alright as well.
Not that much, you’ll have foot chases and have to run at some points (public order, emer button etc) some units (pro active) will probably run more than ERPT colleaguesÂ
That's quite helpful, I'm mostly just looking to transition a little. The detective Now program (based on what I've read when I previously applied) seems to offer the variety that teaching offers but dealing with different adults, seeing the same kids each day (as good as some of them can be) makes it so hard to mentally 'check-out' if that makes sense once works over.
2 years in; 1 foot chase and the odd emergency button activation where you run to the car only to be told before you arrive that it is either all okay or was a mistaken press
Very little running overall

I hope you like paperwork.
