Forums Forums Street News Lots of police at Birkenhead Job Centre

Just driven past the Job Centre in Price Street and there were lots of Police people standing in the dorrway and walking up and down the road between the Job Centre and Hamilton Square.

No idea what was happening, no ambulance or Fire Brigade present

possible ploice training? for collecting their unemployment benefit as some are being made jobless soon with the cut backs!.

Lol

Isn't this the second time in as many weeks the police have been there?

Does this surprise people? Where do the pavement scrapings of the Wirral need to go regularly to keep up their benefits!?

Yup.

They won't find much there though peacock, mostly ciggie butts and empty beer cans.

I watched it unfold,was parked up in Albion St,The guy was like a mad man,they where trying to get him into one of those Jackets you know the ones with the long sleeves and the thingy on the back ..... forgot what there called??

Sorry Im new to this apparently it is due to last weeks incident of someone harming themselves in the job centre. Police are there to screen people for weapons so I. have been told

Lilmac is absolutely right, somebody self harmed themselves in there last week so they have one of those things set up that you have too walk through and it beeps if you have any metal on you like at airports, and they also have one of those hand wands as well.
Terrible when it comes to this......:(

They are probably more worried about smack heads with needles

Isn't it a great world we live in now ? Mmmmmmmmm.

Yes this is right, there have been a couple of incidents at the jobcentre to warrant this....particularly the gentleman that harmed himself on thursday last week. The police were not only looking for weapons but drugs aswell...I am led to believe that 2 people have been arrested.

I work in the medical centre which is within the Jobcentre on Price Street so unfortunately I do know more details about today and Thursday and other incidents but out of respect wont disclose.

It is a very sad day when police have to be outside a Jobcentre.

I hope Wirral people sort themselves out soon, it looks as though it's beginnin to be a horrible place to live!

Hmmm... imagine 1,000's of years ago, if the early humans had decided to drug themselves into oblivion or top themselves if someone else didn't look after them to their liking. We have come a long way, haven't we!!

Your in a much better part of the world now, bet you are glad you moved, it's becoming a joke around here
