Have similar concerns about the extent of police involvement in this area.

The Met's new policy is based on one implemented in Hull.
How Humberside police’s pioneering policy on mental health calls paid off - The Guardian

Humberside has 2,050 odd officers and 150 PCSOs for a population of 1.14 million. The Met have 32,500 odd officers and 1260 PCSOs for a population of nearly 9 million. Plus it has national policing duties.

According to that article Humberside gave 12 months notice of their intentions. The Met have given four months notice. Inter-agency relationships in London are much more complex, thanks, amongst other things, to the greater number of organisations involved. To institute the changes Humberside have made will be a great deal more challenging.

And this is the fucking Met we are talking about. A force which has difficulty catching sexual predators in it's own ranks, even when they've helpfully been given the nickname 'the rapist'.

I think the Idea is sound having two constables sit with a patient while a crisis bed is found is a waste of everyone's time and the police make lousy first respondents to mental health crisis extra points if its the met and your a minority. Part of this is brinkmanship if the met dont make a deadline nobody else is going to make a plans find money to do the job that needs doing. Bit like councils now take disaster planning seriously as the MoD now charges for the military to do disaster relief ( also the militaryis much smaller these days and cant just rustle up a battalion to fill sandbangs at a drop of the hat.
But its also the met going off half cocked but the bloke whose taken over the met is in crisis mode. At the moment if a copper gets arrested for rape and he wasnt on duty and in uniform at the time of the offence its some relief

I think you'll find that the universal sign of I don't have to pay a ticket is half-on-pavement-half-on-double-yellows.

Pretty sure that hazards on top of that leads to a Council Tax rebate, the keys to the city and a special Mayor's Award for Civic Duty.

A former Met officer has published a book on her time in the force. Jess McDonald entered via some kind of accelerated scheme that bypassed years on the beat and put inexperienced officers directly into investigation units. The Met gas since changed the scheme, but McDonald says she left after being diagnosed with PTSD due to the amount of abuse cases she worked.

She says the main issue was the CPS charging standard being set far too high in cases of domestic violence and crimes against women, but there was a culture of bullying and sexual harassment across the Met.

Grim but unsurprising.

" A short secondment, to a murder investigation team, left her wondering why they seemingly enjoyed unlimited resources once it was too late to save the victim, while her domestic violence team – capable of preventing murders – was run ragged."
Why indeed?

There were some extracts in The Times last month:
Bullies, misogynists, sexist bosses — my life in the Met Police (archived)

It's certainly a rather 'different' ex-filth brand building memoir, and some of it rings horribly true, but the "can you see their lips moving" rule still applies for me.

Every time the Guardian - and other papers - mention the Casey Report it does give the strong impression that they didn't actually read all of it, just looked for the bits they agreed with.

If they had, then they might have a much more coherent line of argument to use against changes like this Humberside thing (management behaviour like that is something she specifically called out).

I know this is incredibly minor but I really really hate the stupid hats women police officers of all ranks have yo wear and don't understand why they can't wear the same flat hats the men wear.

Yeah what's wrong with an actual tie? Looks smart, not this silly excuse for a scarf in black and white check more suited to a 1970s air hostess.

Both the tie and the cravat are clip-on things, and the tie especially is pretty cheaply made. As for the hats (with the proviso that I've never had to wear one) I think theirs is better than the male equivalents - the beat helmet gets scuffed every time it is dropped and is unpleasant to wear for any length of time, and the flat hat turns brown with any exposure to sunlight.
