Under no circumstances am I having a go or moaning in anyway about police officers!

I require some background information on the public perception of police driving practices and standards.

The sorts of answers I require are as follows:

As a member of the public:

Do you know what it takes to become a police driver?

Do you know what skills are required?

Do you know what the rules are as a police driver on a blue light run?

How do you deal with a police car when they are travelling behind you with blue lights?

These are just a few examples of things I am looking for, if you have any other information, examples or even moans you would like to add, then that would be greatly appreciated.

If you chose to answer this question as a trained police driver, then please state that in your response, the criteria I must research is specific to “general public” but I am more than willing to read answers from trained officers.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I was just wondering this. I live in a small town and the police officers here are really racists. They say they’re not but they are. If your’re riding the wrong vehicle they will be quick to pull you over. Why isn’t there some test that test how discrimate a person is before becoming a police officer?
Sorry about the spelling… Discriminate..I tend to type too fast..haha

He was, of course a traffic officer, Shaun Schofield, on a ‘training exercise’ with Lancashire Police. He was let off with a 6 month ban and charged with careless driving. The two pensioners were killed instantly.
If a member of the general public did this he would be jailed for 6 – 7 years. Why was the officer let off and why did he keep his job? Also why was he never taken to task by his force?
Are Lancashire Police trying a cover-up?

Does the City of London Police Force police the city of london area and the Metropolitan Police Force police the remaining areas in the county of London? Do they act in any different way? I mainly want to know about the area they policed and the differences between them in the nineteenth century.

I live in a county in Maryland where we have the Sheriff’s Deparment and the Police Department. Do these two organizations serve different functions?
In Anne Arundel County in Maryland, they have the Sheriff’s Department and the County Police. I just wonder what they do differently.
