What are your thoughts on pregnant women being on front-line duty?

Doing some quick maths on this she musthe have told them when she was about 4 weeks pregnant. The instant she knew. There is no obligation to tell your employer for another 4 months. I wonder why she told them?

Obviously I don't, I was merely asking a question.

Well you don't need to undertake a 'Fast Pursuit' driving course ,as you have claimed to have done, by serving up Bangers and Mash in a Police Canteen.

Maybe serious crime doesn't occur too often in Devon & Cornwall?

No fights,no knife crime,robberies,etc




Nah... Devon & Cornwall is just like Answerbank, all you get is Bun fights.

LOL Talbot

4 weeks pregnant,? Oh for goodness sake. Why would she inform her employer? Obviously more to this story we know nothing about.

[bednobs]

Whoops should have read all the other answers first

[bednobs]

I guess there's nothing stopping you telling you employers whenever you like. Especially if your boss is your friend too

[anneasquith]

Baldric ., you are no gentleman. I hope someone’s reports your post. RR best to leave this post you can’t argue with nastiness.

[agchristie]

I worked with a pregnant woman who made a serious error of judgment on a particular matter.

Our supervisor dismissed it and put it down to 'baby brain' without any serious investigation which was definitely warranted...

I hope not.All opinions welcome,we can't agree all the time...

In the US it seems women are not pregnant untill after they have given birth so front line is fine.

However if you are right minded they are pregnant with a human being and shouldn't be on active duty.

What was the point in asking me unless you thought I would have the answer?

[dannyk13]

Corby, it was a rhetorical question.

I haven't read 1 comment yet but this is disgusting. Hope the police appeal.

Nobody in their right minds should employ a fecund woman.
