Thinking what would this officer think if he came forward in time to current world. Also reminds me that time is fleeting and we will all soon be gone and not know if the world that is to come .

The way 8t should be!

No tattoos man buns beards

About as far way from today's copper as a planet !

Ah, back when they were enforcing laws on actual criminals and not law-abiding citizens.

All the shops open none of them closed down

"A policeman to be servants, not the masters of the public." If only todays police followed this mentality instead of power tripping on some citizens.

Sounds like Mary, Mungo and Midge.

Reception desks are a thing of the past now to detrimental effect.

Different times people and expectations.

Definitely Leicester

Smart and not obese

This was when the police were a force to be reckoned with. Today they are a farce to be scorned at.

I remember when the police were like that. We went to school with their children, and our parents knew them as friends. They knew us and we knew them, and the local beat bobby was even known to join in our games. These days, we still have to trust the police despite the fact that they repeatedly betray that trust.

I was a constable in early 90s and had to do some of that, checks, cycling proficiency, parading for duty.....nothing like it now, all woke!

English is not British

Instead now they arrest you for misgendering someone.

11:48 The police dog came upon a cat burglar!

Oh dear oh dear.. It really is a shame that we've abandoned the idea of the policeman being a "friend" of a community, there to help in more ways than just with crime. I truly believe this is the reason for things being so different these days!

Ah civilization I can remember it well.

The British Policeman does not have a gun, he has a Superlative Atomic Bomb, instead, take note.!

7:55 as a millennial it surprises me that the police were expected to help everyone. I remember being told in my Citizenship classes that you should only ask police for help if you need help with crime, not for general help, otherwise you’re being selfish taking their time up!

10:09 Wow: They found a way to have the 2009 Queen participate in a 1959 film. Time travel does work.

The ’golden’ years of policing?

14:35 Public notice: Beware of the hydrogen bomb

At any moment, I was expecting to see Wallace & Gromit come flying around the corner in an Austin A30 van

It's an utopia that policemen work in this way. In my home town policemen may also be drug traffickers.

I had the pleasure and honour of being the Inspector in charge of that police station between 2000-2003. It was a bit different then, and sadly the station was closed in 2003.

On KZfaq is a 90 minute documentary film called History of the British Police Force. Told by Brain Cox.

Lovely film but it’s ok going downhill but could you imagine coming home after an eight hour or 12 hour in the pouring rain and having a bad day,god I’d be knackered ! I was in the specials in London’s in 1970,the whistle and stick parade brought back memories. Truncheons weren’t used much,boots,fists and the police rain cape solved most problems, No cctv so what the policeman did was hidden ! I’ve seen an eighteen your old being drunk and very abusive to a grizzled old sergeant, that boy fifty years later must still be regretting it !

"The driver, having given his particulars to the policeman, is told that in the future, he must take greater care in tying down the boxes which he carries on his lorry." Indeed, it is a legal requirement to secure any load.

"If a policeman draws his truncheon, he must later report this action to his superior officer." This remains the case today. Police officers are required to complete a use of force report any time they use force. This includes: - Drawing or using a baton - Use of PAVA spray - Any use of handcuffs (whether compliant or non-compliant), even when making an arrest - Drawing, "red-dotting" or discharging a Taser - Aiming or discharging a police firearm A good day for a police officer is when they don't have to use force.

When the policeman leaves his home he travels to work on a heavy pedal cycle all down hill what would it have been like to travel on the same contratption after an eight or twelve hour shift !

As an autistic man, I have a lot of respect for the police. I didn't exist during the 1950s, but I have only ever had good experiences with the police. Policing isn't just about catching criminals and maintaining order - much of what the police do is ensuring the welfare of vulnerable people, as well as providing assistance to those who are lost. I think it's important for autistic people to be able to trust the police, because autistic people are more likely to be victims of crime than they are to be offenders.

Keystone cops

Police constable Jack Edwards House (1m:20) Today: 52.6676002,-1.1418173

Oh, how ADORABLE! "Ditch it, Jimmy, they're on to us! That's a copper! He's at least six feet tall and if we don't submit to his demands he might blow a whistle or brandish a truncheon in our general direction!" No wonder Python got so much mileage out of them.

this is the difference between community policing and broken windows police, with a nice mix of austerity, a well funded police force who walk their communities streets and interact with everyone in a friendly manner is a police force who gains respect and not hate, if only we could all go back to when people had a real community and actually help each other. even back then the best solution to crime was getting people jobs or training people through military service.

The British Policeman (2023) Rude, Scruffy, Overpaid, Gutless, and Anti-Indiginous.

‘Senior’ officer or supervisory, not ‘superior’.

I love old British films like this i find it fascinating how people used to live back in these days, and what they did during it

All leisure leaving for work going down that very long, steep hill. At the end of his shift, he has to pedal back up it. 😅

This Era may be long gone, But back then it worked, and it can work again, But we need to take no crap from the immigrants who find our system oppressive, if you break the law, your colour has nothing to do with it, will the blacks please take note .

Picked up the owner of the store because his door was unlocked. Brought a dog along to sniff out intruders. No doubt, drove the owner home. Now that's a police force!

LEICESTER CITY policemen, judging from the Helmet badges.

Bullshit

David Oluwale drowned in the River Aire in Leeds in 1969. His killing was the first black death by cops in Britain-and shows that police racism, violence and cover-up are a very British problem. Police had written “Wog” on the nationality section of one of his charge sheets. Two police officers from Leeds City Police had hounded David, a Nigerian migrant, for two years. Sergeant Kenneth Kitching and Inspector Geoffrey Ellerker forced David to bow in front of them, kicked his arms away, and smashed his head against the pavement. During one beating, they pissed on him. On 17 April 1969, the cops beat David with truncheons and ran him out of town towards the river where his body was found. Eighteen months after David’s death, rumours about it reported by a police cadet triggered an investigation. It showed how other officers knew of and colluded in Kitching and Ellerker’s ­campaign of terror. The investigation led to criminal convictions. But during the trial the judge referred to David as a “dirty, filthy, violent vagrant”. Through his direction, charges of manslaughter and grievous bodily harm against Kitching and Ellerker were dropped. They were given 27 months and three months for the lesser offence of aggravated bodily harm. And, despite the whitewash, they are the only criminal convictions of cops in a police-related death since records began in 1970. The police would go on to murder 75 black and Asian people in the 1970s and 1980s. And between 1990 and 2019, 183 black and minority ethnic people have died in police custody or after otherwise coming into contract with the cops. socialistworker.co.uk/features/britain-s-not-innocent-a-history-of-racist-cops/

My old beat, Leicester city centre

I thought that this film was set in Southampton...until I saw a BMMO S14 saloon (that's one of Midland Red's own buses to those not into buses) by the bus station, not to mention the municipal buses when I realised it was Leicester. Why they didn't mention Leicester as the city in question is beyond me; after all, this was fourteen years after the end of the war!

Ahhhh the good old days (I’m feeling nostalgic for a generation I weren’t even born in😂😂😂)
