Not an overly enthralling month, the odd arrest and yet more ridiculous comments in my diary from DI Norrell Hull and DCI Dennis Ramsey with regard to overtime. It must have been nice for both these officers, working in the main a 9-5 existence, not at the sharp end, to sit back and enjoy the kudos they received as a result of other people's efforts.
For those who chose to work conscientiously, the 8 hour day was insufficient. Bermudian drug dealers users were like most the world over; they did not follow set hours and (for obvious reasons) were less likely to be seen during daylight. Furthermore, ask yourself a very obvious question: If some officers in the office were able to arrest few individuals yet could still justify an 8 hour day, is it possible someone making many more arrests (with the resultant exhibits, paper work, intelligence reports and Court appearances) would require more time? An obvious answer I would suggest, but a consideration beyond the reasoning of these 'senior' officers who appeared to spend more time justifying their position than providing a constructive presence. If the officers had troubled to read the diary and consider its content, they would have realised 'no o/t' endorsed in the margin on each occasion that I was working outside of my allotted 8 hours meant 'no overtime'. I mean, hardly stuff of mensa and between two senior officers I would have expected a brain. |
