15th September 1975, I joined the Police service and started my first day of training. 41 years ago today.
I remember it like it was yesterday and I am still in touch with a few who joined the same day as me (who went onto much higher ranks I hasten to add), but makes you wonder where all the time has gone.
Different service now to the one I joined though.
I feel really old

Blimey, I was 4. Does that help you feel any better? 
It is a different service now, for good and bad. But it's a different community the police have to serve, different attitudes, different approaches to dealing with people, different values.

I hear what you are saying and there is some merit in that statement, but the basic principles have not changed, coppers are still citizens locally appointed to serve their community

Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

That's doesn't mean she is not hot though.
