Smile Are you planning to join a police force?
Hello,

For a while i've been hearing about british police moving abroad, i think its facinating, and i'm looking into making a documentary about it?

Is anyone considering it? would you be willing to chat to me about the process? and why you want to move?

I'm not planning to film anyone yet i'm just fact finding! so don't worry!

thanks

Yes I did hear about it, it sounds like the film put more Emphasis on the pressure uk cops are under, leading them to move abroad? I think this story can be told in a very positive way, have you heard of the group of British policmen sent to clean up Jamaica?

Now this sounds like a joke... I'm waiting for the punch line.
Jim, I'd love to help you but I have not even applied yet. Knowing my luck I'd probably fail and just waste your time.:curse: LOL


Pompeyboy - I still have that saved on my sky+, when i get a spare few minutes I'll play it and see if I could pick you out.
