  “Your standing on my foot” sounds like a Monty Python gag.

  I was a cop in southern California for 25 years.  I had the chance to go on a ride-along with a Thames Valley police sergeant some years ago.  I was amazed at how different police work in the UK was from the US.  All he carried was a short club.  He was amazed that I was armed all the time, even off duty.

  I enjoyed your memories very much as an old retired police officer myself they brought to mind a few  memories of my own. All the best Kev. You really have a great channel!

  These stories are just like how my grandad tells me about his time in the police. The old days for the police were crazy and always interesting.  My grandad did royal protection at sandringham during his time and some of his stories are so funny from that time and all his story's of being a Bobby on the beat are just something else. I love this video so much.

  My dad used to be a police officer, back in the 70s, and one night, we was in his cruiser on patrol and was parked near an overhead highway sign. He kept hearing the &quot;SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK&quot; of tortured metal, but had no idea where it was coming from. He soon got his answer - the sign came crashing down on the road and there was a guy on the scaffolding. Of course my dad got out of the car, and by that point, the guy was already down. <br>&quot;WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, JOHN?!&quot;<br>&quot;Roof&apos;s leaking! Just patching up &apos;til tomorrow!&quot;<br>Like you said - you never know what&apos;s gonna happen!

  I was offered a position as a female London Met. police constable in 1970, I was 17. In the end, I decided to stay in my local area, thank goodness. A very interesting video, thanks Kevin.

  Every law enforcement officer should keep a record of their stories. Most of the time I was just glad to get home to a normal life. Most of the time you’re meeting people on one of the worst days of their life.
