Going by the description there, it says something about "no
filler" - could this be the armour that's missing ?

That looks like just the cover. Becky's stab vest came with a
spare cover in case ooh nasty stuff gets splattered on it.



It's a sad state of affairs when members of the fire brigade and
ambulance services need to worry about people trying to main them

Indeed. They can wear the vest whenever they want to, but some
calls are flagged 'vest mandatory' and some are flagged 'do not
leave ambulance unless police are on scene'. Vest is mandatory in
certain post code areas.

Conflict management and Aikido are part of the basic training. They
have radio code words to secretly convey that they are in a possibly
dangerous situation.

All for a basic salary of £14K.



And from what I hear no shortage of applicants;!..


No shortage of applicants thanks to the TV shows. Great shortage of
'suitable' applicants. Actually very hard to get through the selection
process,



but it not a job you do for the money, like many NHS jobs.



Does that apply to NHS management as well?..

We've got a "Patient experience director" in our local hospital;!...
