“So 150 police vacancies and just over 3000 people showed interest where as there were 8 vacancies at costa at Mapperley and there were 1700 applicants !!!. Just goes to show how working at a coffee house is more attractive NOW than being a police officer !!!!”

“This is great news many of the applicants may have better chance playing the lottery. Good luck if you don't succeed you could get a job in a coffee shop, There was 1700 applicants for that job so the odds may be good”

Very politely put.
I wonder if the force spokesman was a senior officer.”

“Yet again the Evening Post is using photos of council staff when reporting on Police stories. Please get a grip and use photos that actually show cops. Come on EP!”
