I joined the police in July 2004 and decided to start a blog to allow my close friends and family to follow my progress through Hendon and beyond. This blog became very popular and eventually fell in to the hands of the Senior Management Team at Wandsworth Police, where I was then a serving officer, and let’s just say I was ‘urged’ to discontinue my blogging. Apparently, this was in my ‘best interest’!
Sadly, the blog stopped there and I regret not continuing it throughout my time on a response team and then in CID.
In May 2007, after nearly three years in the police, I decided to leave and return to my former career in IT. I left the police for all sorts of reasons and I will discuss some of these throughout my blog entries as and when I feel it is appropriate.
I missed blogging and have had several requests from friends to return to the blogging scene and as such, this is the result. I decided to bring my former police blog back to life and have posted all the entries that formerly resided at www.pcwoody.co.uk (no longer running). I recommend reading this blog from Police Blog Entry #1 onwards (http://woody76.wordpress.com/2004/07/page/4/).
Please note, any views I do share on the police are strictly my own and not the views of the Metropolitan Police Service.
So there it is, enjoy, and if you don’t enjoy it, don’t read it!
