GMP use retired detectives to prepare arrest packs for frontline teams

This is such an obvious win for all forces but this CC is the only one with any gumption. The idea has been floated before but no one seriously takes it up. There are, believe it or not, a few of us that would return if it was promoted correctly. My old force for example pay lip service to recruitment and I'm even vetted but there is no drive for this role. Outside recruiting agencies phone me all the time so I work for them doing a similar role but not in the police plus the pay is almost double! Police forces would benefit from retired officers so let's hope ( for the front line officers' sake ) that some follow the lead of GMP.
