I don't think they are supposed to respond.

From what I've been told from senior officers, they did the exact same thing back when they had the old cadets program. I'm sure if senior members didn't think that they weren't capable of handling certain situations, they wouldn't let them in the car in the first place. They aren't in the cars for fun, they're doing as they have been trained, and I say good on wapol for giving the young guys a fair go.

Police don't get to pick and choose what happens in front of them.

How would you know what training cadets have had?

Do you realise how many coppers don't kit up at the moment when going out? e.g. files and inquiries.

I know Sgt's that don't kit up when going to jobs.

oh please?

that is not even worth debating!

I think its obvious that they cannot respond to those sorts of situations.

Just shh everyone, it's WAPOL's decision (problem?), not ours to whinge about

my belated two cents - i've seen a JG vehicle with P plates, he came into Red Rooster and bought a whole lot things - presuming he was lunch boy for the day. saw him again yesterday in a Crime Stoppers car.

On his own???

It's kind of strange to hear you talking about somebody that is known to me. Y'know, reading through other threads they're all about some random, but when it's read about somebody you actually know, about an OIC's (that you know) decision...
It's just interesting to think that there is members of the public spewing this stuff out.

If it's a concern, walk into Gosnells and ask to speak to the OIC. He'll take you into his office and hear you out. In fact, he'd enjoy the interest a member of the public has shown. Even ask to speak to the cadet, to ask him how he's going or what's going on with his cadetship.

As opposed to the whole 'OMG! I must thread about this...'. Or perhaps in addition to. Go one step further beyond threading and get involved for 10 minutes of your life at one of these stations. I think you might be surprised.
