To highlight the type of calls the GMP get they are putting every call they get over a day onto twitter : GMPolice (gmp24_1) on Twitter

TheDoctor · 14-10-10, 09:20 AM

Whoa they must not have any crime in Manchester!

Jon · 14-10-10, 09:24 AM

Think you need to follow it to view it? I had to login and follow before I could see anything

arcticfox · 14-10-10, 09:32 AM

I didn't follow it but it seems to have stopped about an hour ago....I guess the kids are all at school now so no crimes.

At least we can see what chigley is up to today

the_saint · 14-10-10, 09:40 AM

Possible method? Phone them saying you believe someone is giving away free gifts at [website] and wait for it to show up?

Custody update: 22 arrests since 7am

That was posted 3 hours ago, so that's 22 arrests in 1 hour.

So with all the cut backs in police they actually have time for someone to input data in to twitter rather than going to police the streets. is it me or is this a waste of time...

ndev2k · 14-10-10, 11:32 AM

I really doubt it will be an officer inputting this data. More likely a Civilian worker who spends all their time doing office work anyway.

**xploit** · 14-10-10, 12:02 PM

could their time not be put to better use though?

yes, if its a policeman or police worker but then again maybe its just some work experience kids being told what to write and what not to write.

Sadly, too big a percentage of police work is taken up with paperwork these days. I used to spend a couple of hours with the police doing statements every time we caught a shoplifter just incase it went to court but it always ended up with an £80 fixed fine and they were let out...meaning the paperwork was a waste of time.

Bring back the old days when the police would just take you down an alley and give you a good kicking then let you on your way

**MJ10** · 14-10-10, 01:38 PM

lol at this one (just tweeted)

"report of men banging on door of house in Bolton"

az87aris · 14-10-10, 04:43 PM

Theres no wonder d cameron is making police cuts. If they have time to play around on twitter they have either have too much time on their hands or arnt doing enough of what they should be doing.

Try different underscores as they keep getting twit jailed but this parody account is very funny too: Twitter
