What’s it like to be a police officer?

Scotcast

Available for over a year

Rank-and-file police are warning low officer numbers are taking a toll on those in the job. David Kennedy from the Scottish Police Federation and a serving frontline officer discuss what it’s like for those on patrol and how it feels to be threatened with a knife, with no backup on the way. And Martin and Laura discuss whether George Clooney is right to say he’s too old to be a romantic lead. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins. Get in touch with us by emailing [email protected]
