Ask anyone (or most people) in the emergency services what is one of the most annoying things which they have to deal with when trying to do their job, and they will tell you that it’s having to pay lip service to the ‘individuals’ who try and offer their ‘expert’ advice whilst our colleagues deal with critical incidents.

Don’t get me wrong; we are all entitled to an opinion…And, of course, I am not referring to the brave individuals who actually help the emergency services when needed.

Instead, I am specifically talking about the individuals who interfere; who try to actually tell you how to do your job.

Offering such unwelcome ‘advice’ to the emergency services whilst they try to manage an incident where people’s lives could be at stake is about as wanted as a pus filled boil.

Most people are happy just to put the world to rights on Facebook, having never actually had any experience of dealing with anything other than delayed trains to work, or perhaps running out of milk at the local ‘Happy Shopper’ convenience store.

So why do some people insist on, for example, telling Police Officers who are trying to handcuff someone who has just robbed an old lady at knifepoint, that they are using ‘excessive force’?

Have they ever tried to apprehend a knifeman by asking them politely to stop running, and to sit on the floor until the Police van arrives?

Of course they haven’t! So wind your neck in and let the rozzers do the job they are trained for!

If you see the emergency services doing their job, then let them do their job!

 

Or what about the individual who has completed their First Aid at Work Certificate trying to tell Medics how to best stop someone from bleeding at the scene of a Road Traffic Collision!?

Do these people really think that a two hour session on how to bandage a papercut is in any way relevant to a highly trained Medic?!

Or perhaps the member of public who attempts to give advice to Firefighters on where best to aim their jet of water when trying to extinguish a raging inferno at the local industrial estate…

The problem is real my friends.

If you are reading this and you happen to be the sort of person we are referring to, then please remember that your ‘words of advice’ will fall on deaf ears…

And there is a chance that our colleagues at the scene, might share their experiences of their encounter with you via a blog in our fortnightly subscriber only eMagazine: ‘S__ts & Giggles’.

Anyone can subscribe to our eMagazine that is packed full of our best content which we do not share publicly, whether you serve in the emergency services or not. Find out more by clicking here —> 

And if you are an ‘oppo’ (colleague) and you have any stories to tell about your experiences with any graduates from the College of Bystanders, then send your account into us (anonymously) via our contact us page.

It’s just that we have a section in our eMagazine entitled ‘C__kwomble Award’….. #JustSaying

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
