Hoping you can clear this up Ben, there is a rumor going about that while chasing a suspect you leaped over a garden fence and landed on the back of a goat, word is that goat bucked for all it was worth but you held on for a solid 10 seconds.., is that true?
@@Calvi36 Its just when you said buck.., its not a term I have heard outside of here used in the same context.., but any way.., I hope you and yours are keeping well.
Bought the book, cried a lot, our story is similar. Joined 2001 response officer, witnessed a lot, no help, tutor constable before becoming an interceptor! You are my inspiration thank you Ben. You really don’t realise how much you help the likes of me! Keep strong and safe!
I suffer with anxiety quite badly, these videos of yours help to put things into perspective for me. It’s pretty bad at the moment so thank you. Stay strong Ben xx
I'm a sufferer of anxiety, just try to be aware of your breathing, breathe in relaxed, until your lungs feel full, release with ease, continue this with everything you do and you'll feel the difference x hope it helps anyone. Honestly my anxiety is ruthless
@@whatwhywhenthen Great advice mate. Like many of us who follow Ben I suffer from PTSD which can manifest itself in horrific anxiety attacks. It's not helped by the fact that I have stressed induced epilepsy, so the actual daily anxiety of becoming "too anxious" can be overwhelming! The breathing exercises taught by my counsellor have saved me from completely crashing. Something so simple we take for granted and barely think about, yet learning when to actively think about it and do it properly has had a profound impact on my day to day life.
I have always admired and respected police in the UK regardless of what anyone else thinks, and watching your videos only grows my love. I hope everyone in the police can be more like you
Said this before mate, you are so much stronger than you think. I really hope this channel helps you so much, you are a top bloke with some amazing stories, some funny some tragic but all told from the heart with honesty. Keep it up buddy.
Hi Ben, I hope you're keeping well. As a serving cop myself I just want to say thanks to you for bringing to light all of the issues and crap we have to deal with in this thankless role. Keep up the great work and the videos....you're an inspiration mate👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼keep safe
Ben you’re an absolute inspiration. I understand you’ve had extremely tough days working as an officer however your stories are incredible, thank you for sharing it all with us. All the best X
Always,and always so great to hear your stories Ben. And i will thank you for the second book you wrote. Again wonderfully written, i love the way you write, it's honest, with some humor, self-mockery, the disappointment you felt. Please don't stop writting, don't stop telling and sharing your feelings and stories. You help us all. Thanks a lot Ben.
Hi guys! My first book "Handcuffed Emotions: A Police Interceptor's Drive Into Darkness" is now available as an AUDIOBOOK on Audible/Amazon! Not into reading? well, why not let me read it to you? bit.ly/HandcuffedAudible Thanks so much for your questions, Ben x
I have only just come across your channel and have spent I don't know how long watching you answer questions. Love hearing about your thoughts on the police and showing how down to earth you are. I've suffered with mental health issues from a young age and I have lots of respect for all you have done. I hope that you have found a way to cope with your PTSD and you are living a good life. ✌
You are so amazing Ben keep doing the videos and I'm going to purchase your book ..I live in Bradford and was a massive fan of police interceptors especially when you was on amazing man Im a depressant and have been for years and had therapy ect so I get carrying the rucksack around x
Hi ben, I am 4 weeks into my training as a British Transport Police Special constable. I'll forget the first day of me unknowingly saying "ya right mate" to a chief inspector... Great start ahaha he found it funny luckily as he knew i was new and made me aware of how i should address such as PC being staff and anyone above SGT being sir/maam. Really enjoying the training and the police staff, PC's, SGT's, Trainers etc are absolutely fantastic.
Pro Tip for you Dominic... When wandering around the nick etc and encounter anyone in plain clothes, or in uniform but with their epaulettes covered, just address them a "Boss" or "Chief" as both are acceptable terms to address seniour ranks, and both are used to address just about anybody including your mates i.e "Morning Chief, how's tricks?" Lol we've all done it mate. Glad the CI saw the funny side of it. Most will to be honest. All the best for your future career. Take care out there mate 👍
@@residentelect thankyou for your words. Really loving the BTP at the moment! all the things i am learning and the people i am meeting have been nothing but amazing.
I know in some places drugs are burnt in the crematorium, while weapons are taken to the armoury to be destroyed (or sold depending on their value and condition). And yeah, they're usually kept on hand until after the court case is finished. I love everything you're doing and ngl it's helping me tackle my own LEO related PTSD so thank you
ben hope you keeping well just got both your books been put away for xmas i agree what you said about the law needs changes i said to a officer that cps needed changes his answer was he couldn't comment but smile on his face was enough to say yes your right
Hi Ben, I have been listening to Hand Cuffed Emotions on my walk to work the past two days. Bought the book and read it as soon as it came out and now reading Hotel Tango 23. Loving them ! X
Just recently been told by psychotherapist and Dr I'm likely suffering from ptsd due to dv. My experience is just take each day as it comes as tomorrow is never promised. Keep speaking out. Love your channel.
11:40... I think of speed limits as safety zones: 20= high likelihood of having to do an emergency stop (hence why are trained to do them during driving lessons and the test in 20zones only) - defensive driving 30=medium to high likelyhood of having to slow or stop - defensive driving 40= medium to low risk of stopping - defensive driving 50= low to no footfall and/or risk of the roadlayout - defensive driving NSA= real driving, 60/70mph unless hazards (i.e. corners, junctions, blind dips and summits, other traffic) - progressive driving
Loving these videos Ben. I have a lot of respect for the police but even more after each video I watch. We are incredibly lucky to have you guys out there filling up your rucksacks so we don’t have to fill ours. Thank you.
Absolutely a top man,so brave talking about your mental health,you will have helped many men admit that they are also suffering who didn't realise it,myself included
Re the 174 at the roadside, I saw a 151, and the ONLY clue (apart from the four write offs) was a slow and confused response to questions. Eyes, fine. No slurring. No smell of “intoxicating liquor”. Dang.
It's interesting hearing Ben talk about happy times such as locating missing children. We humans are odd things and it's strange how trauma works, how we seem to be instinctively more effected long-term emotionally by negative things than we are happier things. You would like to think, for someone like Ben, it would be things like locating a missing 4 year old which really stay with you, so much so that it over-rides all the more horrific situations, but it always seems to be the other way around.
7:05 Firearms'll probably go to the NFC in Leeds to be analysed by their people & see if it's been used in any other crimes If it's a particularly interesting example, the Royal Armouries might hang on to it as part of their modern collection
Simon Pegg character in Hot Fuzz mentions the pen and paper is the most useful tool that a police officer has so I was happy when Ben mentioned the pen.
Could you do a video on the advice you would give to someone starting a career in the police? Such as things you did, or things you'd wish you'd done differently. Love the videos!
Excellent choice of film Ben. BTTF, my favourite trilogy of all time. I would highly recommend the BTTF musical they're showing in London at the moment.
Love it Ben! Great to see a fun side to you in this :) thanks for answering my question. I will definitely go to the shop tomorrow for some salt and vinegar Quavers! Never tried them before or knew the existed!!
Hi Ben. Your book is brilliant and Oh so true. I do like the bit about santa, inparticular.. On par with Harry Tinge and John Suterland.. Fab! Regards. K.
Keep doing what you're doing Ben! I bought both your books because I ran out of your videos 😅 I started the first one and couldn't put the thing down! Recommended to everyone 👍
Half way through HT23 at the moment, both books are amazing, although I think the first one needed better proof reading, lots of typing mishtooks 😆 Sorry Ben, I notice these things, my other half is a writer and is well into her 3rd book, and I do the proof reading, so I spot these things 😋
In Victoria, it used to be the case that the disposal of drug exhibits was contracted to a company called Cleanaway, with oversight from a pair of senior police officers. Allegedly, one of the Cleanaway staff tossed some meth precursor chemicals into the incinerator whilst not paying attention, and the resultant explosion blew the whole side out of it, putting it out of action for weeks. I don't know if Cleanaway still has the contract!
During a pursuit I don't really have time to think about a song, but my favorite one for afterward is beer for my horses whiskey for my men with Toby Keith and Willie Nelson lol.
the question about the justice system and sentencing is something i feel super strongly about. In my local area a pair of blokes got caught smuggling drugs, they got 11 years. Drunk driver crashes into broken down car and kills a 15 year old kid, 7 years. like my mind cannot fathom how you can get behind the wheel of a car drunk, kill someone and still get less time than a drugs offense.
At least the drunk driver got 7 years. I’ve heard of drivers who have killed people and completely avoided jail, they got a suspended sentence (which is literally nothing)
Hi, I am from the U.S.A. enjoy your videos. Hope your recovery is doing well. I watch the American and British police shows. You policing is so different than ours. Your police are not as rough as some of our police.
My question - What was your most dramatic loss of control of a vehicle that you 'got away with' and didn't damage anything? Keep the vids coming Ben!! Great stuff...
My first drink drive arrest blew 185, the custody skipper said he'd never seen anything that high, no idea how the bloke was still standing, he'd hit 4 vehicles across the borough before we got called to him, maniac
My little brother got picked up by the police while he was out once when he was 12. He was on his way home from the park round the corner where he'd been with his mates. He's a smaller lad so does look younger than he is and a couple of Bobby's pulled up and asked his age and where he lived and the first thing he did was ask to see their warrant cards 😅👌. He told them our address and they brought him home and I spoke to them and they were very impressed that even though they were in uniform and marked van he still was cautious. Keep it up mate
You Ben are a legend mate, I'm 50 years old and have so much respect for the police. Top people doing a tough job. Every time I watch you on here mate always bring a tear to my eye mate, you been through so much. Hats off to all bobbies .
Hey Ben 😁 I love watching your videos, suffer from depression and anxiety myself so you're not alone. I always watched you on tv ☺️ just a quick question for you in the next video or something but here it is: Police always despise drink drivers, why is the legal limit 35 and not 0? Keep up the amazing videos mate 😊 absolute legend!!
I got pulled doing 40 in a 30 and just got a slap on the wrist, but no fine. What is the highest speed you've pulled someone over at, but not issued a penalty?
Lol I remember the green screen my grandad was a nightmare me use to drive his car with no tax and MOT he use to get pulled all the time and he use to say he is going to book in.
Hi Ben. I used to watch you and your teem every night when you were on. Because of that I'm 16 and taking public services in college wanting to eventually be a police officer. Is there any tips you would give that would make me stand out amongst the crowd?? Thank you for being an inspiration. Keep up the videos.
Hey. My advice be yourself think outside the box with any answers you give. Think of professional experience (school and education ect and also home experience. Such as friends and family situations. Dosnt need to be huge and out of the box situation just something that demonstrates your abilities. Also joining specials is always a great way to gain some experience
Just watched the episode again where yourself and B Ben were worrying together. B Ben said he had to work with you for punishment. I laughed so hard. I agree with you, a set prison time should always be served. If they don't behave then time is added.
My dad was a policeman, my 2 bothers got fake locked up when they were about 3 and 5, they loved it 😂. Plus my brother went missing on holiday and the police found him and brought him back in a police car, he came out with a load of money he found down the back seat, winner 😂
Not expecting a reply but just wanted to chuck a comment out really ... I've seen a few fairly new but getting quickly established RUclipsrs saying in their videos recently that they're needing to take a break from videos as their channels are growing quickly and becoming more and more demanding. These videos are super moorish and brilliant so naturally there's going to be tons of comments asking for an encore but conscious that PTSD can be very draining and exhausting I worried a bit that Ben doesn't get overwhelmed doing the vids and makes himself bad. We'll wait so no rush to churn them out 🙂 "pace theesen" 😘⭐
Where can i get one of those t-shirts mate? finally been diagnosed recently with complex ptsd so that t-shirt says a lot. P.S. Love the videos and the honesty, as someone in the security industry we have quite a few things in common.
Hoping you can clear this up Ben, there is a rumor going about that while chasing a suspect you leaped over a garden fence and landed on the back of a goat, word is that goat bucked for all it was worth but you held on for a solid 10 seconds.., is that true?

In Victoria, it used to be the case that the disposal of drug exhibits was contracted to a company called Cleanaway, with oversight from a pair of senior police officers.

These videos are super moorish and brilliant so naturally there's going to be tons of comments asking for an encore but conscious that PTSD can be very draining and exhausting I worried a bit that Ben doesn't get overwhelmed doing the vids and makes himself bad. We'll wait so no rush to churn them out 🙂 "pace theesen" 😘⭐
Policy bollocks - well done for knowing your powers and having sound personal ethics and a huge dose of common sense!
Where can I get one of them t shirts ?
Force wear HQ
Hi Ben, did you keep your handcuffs when you left policing ... ? :) - love the videos bud keep them coning.
Salt & Vinegar Quavers sounds horrible...but better than Salt & Vinegar McCoy's? That statement is too bold to not take seriously.
There stunning!!
Where can i get one of those t-shirts mate? finally been diagnosed recently with complex ptsd so that t-shirt says a lot. P.S. Love the videos and the honesty, as someone in the security industry we have quite a few things in common.
I’d vote for you for PM 😊
An old Sgt I know used to say when writing tickets that "they'll run out of money before I run out of ink". So yeah the pen is a great piece of kit.
Can’t wait for this one!!!👍🏼
