These few days, my second off are burnt with loads of duties and visits....I had no choice but to accept it. haiz.

Tomorrow, I'm going for an IPPT. It was suppose to be taken next year and my TL (Team Leader) "propose" I take with another SC. I said alright. Luckily, I had been running to keep myself fit.

Lately, I cannot predict what is going to come in a few months time. It is very difficult now with irregular schedules and loads of deployment coming. Furthermore, the other SC is going to ORD soon. The Regulars are doing to their fair share except for one or two of them who might take MC to "escape" their duties.

Soon, I'm going to take a new rank and means that I've more jobs to do other than sit inside the car. Doing counter duties, attending complainants will be norm soon too come. I hope another SC replacement could take my load or else I'm going to suffer without any successor.

Don't worry, the regulars will "treat" the SC as good as possible without implicating the SC. Seriously, NPCO vocation is never to be meddle with. I know the free license is good but to pay it with such trouble, I think I rather give back my license and become a Staff Assistant. They are working from 9-5 and only on weekdays. Public Holidays they are not working and they are hardly deploy for any major deployments. Good eh?

Whereas for me, you are deployed on your second off and you still have to perform your shift duty on the next day. Public Holiday? No such things! You are suppose to work nevertheless. Got deployment? Claim off. You still have to fight with your regular counterparts who have more leaves days than you and have better perks. The scenario is like this, you are on leave for one of your shifts, the regulars throw MC, your TL or DTL calls you back because you have to cover that bloke. Of course they have money to spend on free and cheap MCs.

I have to maintain peace with my TL and the rest of my teammates to take advantage when taking leaves. So far, no body disturbs my leave. (*Crosses fingers and toes) It has been paying off quite nicely. I done my part and fulfilling my duties like everyone else.

You see, no body could tell the difference between an SC and a Regular. SC = Special Constabulary = Police National Service Full-time. Regular is the normal civil servant policeman. In the law, the SC are given more or less the same legal powers as the regulars counter part. Except that major investigation are not handled by people like me. Nevertheless, you should know what kind of cases NPCO takes.

So the regulars treat all the SCs like regulars and expect each one of us to be good like them. I admit we have to be good to be able to handle the public. The public doesn't care whether you are an NSF or regulars. By wearing that uniform, you are a police.

So, if you all think becoming a police is good and no need to go out to war or whatsoever, try this. I give my shoes to you all and try as an SC only. You'd be surprise with the amount of work that we have been doing so far.

Frontline officers meaning NPC officers are the face of SPF. We have to be of high standard and perform well. Our enemy is nothing but STOMP. The busybody public with their ever itchy hand, they could take "candid" shots of police. We could do nothing against freedom of press except for defamation and false allegations.

Here we are trying to deliver and help members of public, they are doing nothing but complain against us. Haiz. Luckily I'm only an SC. I guess the regulars perception is just that they are doing their job and it is none of their concern.

Moral of the story is, don't call police for unnecessary things like, "my son never listen to me, come and scold him", "My girlfriend hates me, help me out". Haiyoh, save me all the trouble. But we have to professional and "delegate" the matter to the "relevant" authorities.
