“Two other officers with Hamshire police, who both suffer from PTSD, have been granted permission to bring their assistance dogs to work, the tribunal heard.
This, however, was reportedly an exception rather than the rule.”
If you are lacking an actual Policy and are making multiple “exceptions” you are surely de-facto creating a rule?

> The tribunal heard the long-serving officer suffers from autism, ADHD, PTSD, depression and anxiety.
Just going to throw it out there – perhaps these aren’t ideal qualities for a cop?

How does a dog assist someone with autism specifically?

This could be a bit touchy but certain conditions exclude you from being an officer, perhaps this should be included.

People are allowed to bring dogs to a place of work now? Fuck everyone who feels anxious around dogs or has an allergy to dogs I guess.

Joined in 2004 but only needed a dog in 2021? So he was able to manage well for 17 years, but inky now there’s an issue? Sounds like they’re pusing their luck to me.
DS Parker alleges the police department created a “pressured environment” after being given questions just 30 minutes before an interview for the position of Inspector.
So was able.to pass the Sgts promotion board without an issue but the Insp one is the problem?

This is a bit victim blamey from me tbf but if you need a personal service dog probably shouldn’t be a copper?

The same people annoyed at this saying he shouldn’t be working in the police force are the same types who no doubt complain at a high functioning autistic person living off disability benefits . Which one is it?

Good to see a lot of ableism in the comments…. Believe it or not, neurodivergent individuals can perform well in several jobs providing the correct adjustments are given to them.
