Hi NZ Team - depends on whether you need officers currently serving with hmps also on how senior you want them to be. Try the Guardian or the Times. The Daily Mail might be worth a shot too.

- PajeroExceed
Tue May 19, 2009 12:26 pm
this is fine ..fone the detail office at long lartin...& speak to them.....not all jails do permanent thing...but you can always scrounge around staff who don't want to do their nights
- PajeroExceed
Tue May 19, 2009 12:24 pm
ive worked that pattern before , it does make booking leave easy
- dobby
Tue May 19, 2009 12:24 pm

It is different as i guess they know we are there to look after them to an extent and most play by the rules.
- Boogaloo
Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:10 pm
At my nick we get the choice of toil or overtime not sure if that is the same everywhere?
- Boogaloo
Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:09 pm
i can imagine - they didnt like us turning up and locking them up so keeping them locked up will be interesting!
- SR90
Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:08 pm
Good idea the cons are not to keen on the police they settle down with us but are fiery if the police are around!!
- Boogaloo
Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:07 pm
So i really dont have to pay attention the the contract saying that what you do in overtime you get back in toil. i was gutted when i read that as would prefer cash to time off!
- Eagle1978
Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:07 pm
Im hoping so... I just wont let on I used to be police!
- SR90

Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:03 pm
do you get overtime pay? or is it only toil?
- Eagle1978
Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:03 pm
Just reading that makes me even more excited!!!
