According to the Daily Mail, Scotland yard has allegedly launched an investigation into a group on Facebook where police officers are bragging about all their various POLCOLS (that’s police collisions to us normal folk).

Officers join the group to show-off and brag about how many times they’ve crashed their car since they started. Now, we’re not policemen, but we kind of don’t see the point. We thought the point was to not crash the company car. . . ?

The group invites officers to regale fellow members of the force with their stories.

“If you know what I mean then this is the place for you. If you don’t, then keep on moving, there is nothing to see here."

Some are quite nasty really. . . People claiming to have knocked down octogenarians and all that lark.

Met Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said it was “totally unacceptable” for officers to post pictures bragging about hitting pedestrians and damaging police cars and vans.

Sir Ian said : "If true, this behaviour is completely unacceptable. We will conduct a rigorous investigation to find those responsible."
