- No two days are ever the same for a response officer, the situations they face can be unknown and unpredictable which means they must be prepared to provide a frontline response to what can be complex, confrontational and sometimes traumatic situations.
This Monday, (26 June) marks the beginning of the third annual national response policing ‘Week of Action’, where together with other police forces across the country, we are able to celebrate the professionalism and courage of our response police officers and the vital part they play in keeping our communities safe.
The response policing role can be physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. The calls they receive can range from someone being seriously injured or a person suffering mental health crisis, to dealing with someone in distress or a report of high-risk missing person.
This week of action recognises the work of response police officers and this year, there is an increased focus on providing opportunities for learning and development, networking and career progression allowing officers to explore and build on their experience in their existing role.
The week will also raise awareness of the wellbeing and resilience support services, provided throughout the year by our Occupational Health Unit, with access to a range of initiatives from the force and Oscar Kilo, the National Police Wellbeing Service.
Chief Superintendent Mark Wiggins, Head of Response and Resolution at Merseyside Police, said: “I am always proud to highlight the role that our response officers do, I know from personal experience just how demanding the job is and as society has evolved, the role has become more complex. Response officers play a crucial role in protecting and serving our communities, and these officers routinely deal with some of the most challenging situations in society.
“If you were to ask a lot of our response officers what they like most about the role, most would say the pace, action and variety the role brings, but I also know the role can bring out great emotion, especially as they are often the first to arrive to a scene and need to provide help and reassurance to those most vulnerable in times of crisis.
“Through this week of action, we are able to highlight to our communities the excellent work that these officers do, to give people an idea of some of the things they deal with on a daily basis.
Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell said: “National Response Policing Week is an important date to recognise and celebrate the hard work, dedication and bravery of police officers who are working on the frontline 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, risking their own safety to protect our Merseyside communities and make our neighbourhoods safer.
“They play an incredibly important role, facing the most challenging and difficult situations, supporting people at their most vulnerable and acting as the first helping hand to victims.
“I’d like to thank all Response officers for the amazing work they do. I appreciate the work is incredibly demanding, not knowing what job their going to from the next and that’s why it’s crucial we highlight the vital work they do for our communities.”
From Monday 26th June, follow the Merseyside Police social media channels to watch an array of videos and imagery, which will provide a fascinating insight into the experiences of our response officers.
The videos will be shared on Twitter at @MerseyPolice, Facebook at @MerseyPolice and Instagram at @merseysidepolice.

Insight into a ‘response officers everyday shift’ by shadowing an inspector and sergeant?
That’s really gonna be accurate and reflective of a PC’s life 🙄
Inspectors sit in offices- they do NOT go out and do any policing at all. The only time a Response Inspector appears on the streets is in the aftermath of a major incident. for the purpose of scene management. The higher up you go up the promotional ladder in the police, the less work you do and the more politics you play. It's ALL about whether your face fits, using the right corporate 'soundbites,' and of course- brown nosing senior ranks above you. They promote Yes men and women for the most part, rock the boat and you will not get any promotion within the job. I saw some utterly useless Sgts and Inspectors during my time- you wouldn't follow them to the pub, let alone in a dangerous Public Order scenario. Some of them would struggle to make the rank of Lance Corporal in the British Army, and yet through a combination of politics, blowing their own trumpet, and brown nosing, some of these useless articles get promotion- based off passing an exam and a panel interview. The only way to assess ability to lead, is to put individuals in a situation where they have to take command, assess a problem, come up with a solution and then lead a group to solve the problem. The British Army selection for officer's does EXACTLY this with command task tests. There is no place to hide, you cannot bullshit, you can either demonstrate leadership potential or you cannot. The RCB is superb selection process and I have felt for years that the police need to adopt part of the RCB process. Give candidates a coloured bib with a number and present them as an individual with a command task. Eg "You and your team must cross this minefield without touching the ground between the two lines of white tape. You have 4 ammunition boxes, 3 planks of wood and 4 toggle ropes. You have 15 minutes to brief your team and carry out the task. Carry on........" When you are put on the spot and you are under pressure from close observation/scrutiny, it very quickly sorts the wheat from the chaff. Can you problem solve? Can you communication clearly and confidently? Can you multi-task/prioritise? How do you communicate and motivate personnel? Can you delegate? Are you willing to ask for ideas from within your team? Can you cope with pressure? I'm convinced that many of the people I saw walking around with pips on their shoulders in the police, would flounder and fall apart in such a scenario. Most of them I saw were completely self-centred and all they cared about was climbing the greasy pole of promotion. The last Inspector I worked with was a complete coward, had no inter-personal skills (Definitely ON THE SCALE!) and he didn't understand some very basic points of law- he was stealing wages basically.
The police service suffers from very poor management, a woeful lack of resources, a chronic lack of professionalism and is virtually devoid of discipline- standards are LOW along with staff morale. If the public were actually aware as to how poor the police service is, they would be up in arms.
Interesting video but found the music really irritating, distracting & actually unnecessary …
Why an inspector and sergeant? How about a PC? 🤷🏻♂️
We need new houses Liverpool 🏗️🏫🏫🏫
They bulid new houses all the time and stick pakis in them
Policing is an appalling, soul destroying, poorly paid, badly resourced job. Served for 16+ years, detested it and binned it in 2014- best move I ever made. Badly managed- runs on a culture of bullying from the top down. Frontline staff are treated like shit on the bottom of somebody's shoe. You do NOT get Inspectors on Response going out policing- EVER! This is just propaganda. Inspectors sit in offices playing with bar charts and stats and shuffling paperwork- as do the vast majority of Sgts. Senior officers are largely invisible to the staff at the sharp end, Superintendents are rarely seen outside Ivory Tower HQ. Everybody I still have comms with in Merpol detests the job and they are counting the days until they retire. I wouldn't permit a dog to join the modern police service, it's abysmal. The woeful lack of experienced staff in the front line is very apparent. This very evening, I have watched a number of videos on YT posted by MoP who were dealt with by Merpol staff. Some of them are completely ignorant of their powers- basic things like which section of the RTA gives them the power to stop a motorist on the public road and request their details. Failure to understand when staff should notify MoP that they are using their video camera- one Merpol officer when challenged about that by a MoP spoke a lot of nonsense, effectively saying, "I don't need to tell you the camera is on because it's not a domestic." Utter nonsense! I was appalled by the lack of basic knowledge of police powers and procedures, and in some instances- sheer rudeness and sarcasm of staff when dealing with the public.
But your still happy to take taxpayers money. For an unskilled job (which policing is) that requires 0 qualifications it is very well paid with a great pension. So shit the fuck up.
Have you any proof that you were an officer?
Question do some people join the police to bully people?
🕌🏫🏫🏫🏫🏗️🏫🕌
Police 😂😂😂😂joke
Complete propaganda! You will never see an inspector and sergeant doing response work in real life. Speaking from many years as a police officer in the 80s and 90s. Much less so in the present day.
Great police🕌
Smashing crime by arresting one transphobic tweeter at a time!
FTM
another police propaganda piece.
