seems a bit silly really:

1. Its an easily identifiable marker, he nicks someone who takes exception to it, if said villain then decides he wants some payback, the coppers not gonna be the hardest person to spot.

2. If someone decides they don't want to get nicked & decides to slug it out, grabbing a handful of beard's gonna make that so much easier, control the head & everything else follows.

Edit: His haircuts a bit moody too lol

Do our police often wear respirators?

yes & no, a mates co19 in the met, before he qualified as an afo he was tsg skipper & baton gun qualified, & as well as baton rounds they also have tear/cs rounds in the armoury.

BUT

to the best of my knowledge baton guns have never been used, primarily because no senior officers want to take the responsibility for if it goes tits up, shits gonna have to get real bad before they do.

& if gas rounds are used, gunners are supposed to wear resi's in order to not be affected themselves.

hence yes & no.?

 

[clumpyedge]

Pretty sure the guy with the beard was on The Force or one of the many police programs. any idea why they waited so long before putting the door in?

 

[Albiscuit]

There was an armed copper outside Horse guards the other day with a beard longer and much more unkempt than that one. Standards are slipping!!

..... therefore relatively few wear respirators

lol, but wouldn't it be funny if in order to "re-qualify" they were told "sorry, if you cant wear a respirator your out"

"but guv its taken me two years to grow this beauty"

?

it could happen ?, I my old job banned beards for the same reason.

Most definitely, while we shouldn't judge anybody how they look, you'd certainly expect higher standards for the police, it's not as if their in the sandpit on active service where you'd expect dress codes to be relaxed ?

How the fuck does having a beard stop him doing his job?? 

 

[Tackle]

no one said it stops him doing his job, what was said, in other words, is that such an excessive beard may prove restrictive during some aspects of the role of an afo, & possibly hinder in some situations.

If that’s the case then it’s nobodys bloody business what he looks like

in case you hadn't noticed, its a public forum where, within reason, we can discuss whatever we fucking like, which can include stupid looking beards on operational personnel.

People will lose their shit when they find out certain forces are now allowed neck tattoo's (although there are stipulations to said tattoo's)

Can we also discuss arrogant tossers who think they have the right to criticise someone for their appearance?

wasn't that long ago that many forces were turning applicants away for having them on their forearms, things have certainly changed.

lol, what's up, did I hit a nerve, have you got a silly looking beard ?.

not that I was aware we were having an argument, but if you've had to resort to childish name calling (from behind your pc), then you've already lost the argument.

if your such a snowflake that this thread offends you, take it up with a mod, maybe they'll lock it for you.

Have a nice day ?
