There have been numerous comments on this - that the officer should be arrested, prosecuted, suspended, summarily dismissed. Some of this is not possible or may not be appropriate. 1/

The @metpoliceuk used to give us stickers. Best community relations efforts ever. Bring back stickers!

Ken tells Julia: We are now being asked to make dynamic decisions, risk assessing each situation as to whether PPE is needed. If my colleagues feel far safer wearing a mask, then let's let them wear one. Let’s procure the masks and allow them to wear them.
Chairman Ken Marsh scheduled to be on @talkRADIO with @JuliaHB1 shortly discussing policing in London and the challenges the #coronavirus crisis brings our hard-working members.

That’s fair, I wasn’t aware of his background, but all I can say is he was decent and fair with the cases I took his way. Beyond that, I have no experience of how he was, but that’s disappointing to hear

Chairman Ken Marsh on @talkRADIO. “We are getting there but I don’t think we have enough Protective Equipment. But the whole world wants what we want.” Ken emphasises importance of PPE for colleagues: “We struggle to self distance because of the nature of being a police officer.”
He actually takes the time to really listen to your representations and really consider them doesn’t he? He’s a loss to the Met

(My serious answer is that he is very fair... that doesn’t mean that he done what I wanted him to every time, but that when he made a decision that I may not have liked, he done so in a decent and fair way)
Have always found Martin Hewitt to be a thoroughly decent and fair man every time I have taken a probationer to see him for a Reg 13 appeal and other dealings. He’s one of the good ones
If there’s some PPE from the set of The Bill knocking around we may be OK!
Fully operational ventilators from the Holby City set arrived at the new Nightingale Hospital yesterday.
@BBCCasualty & @BBCHolbyCity Exec Producer Simon Harper said: "We are only too happy to help out and do what we can for the courageous and selfless real life medics."

Please please please complete a near miss for everyone single call you attend and every parade where you don’t have PPE. And email your local rep so they can take it up too.

If a supervisor wants to try and discipline an officer for using PPE to protect themselves, you’d better believe that officer will be backed.
I would imagine (hope) that there isn’t a supervisor out there that would try and stick somebody on for this
