Hoping you can clear this up Ben, there is a rumor going about that while chasing a suspect you leaped over a garden fence and landed on the back of a goat, word is that goat bucked for all it was worth but you held on for a solid 10 seconds.., is that true?
Pin this comment! 🤣🤣🤣 🐐
@@Calvi36 Now I know your from over here in Norn Argland mate.., bout ye?
@@Calvi36 Its just when you said buck.., its not a term I have heard outside of here used in the same context.., but any way.., I hope you and yours are keeping well.
@@Calvi36 Like in the US when they say can ya give me a buck?.., if only they knew.
@@formhubfar If u mean buck like a horse or goat or a goose or summat rearing up trying to throw u off then we also say it all up North of England lad
Bought the book, cried a lot, our story is similar. Joined 2001 response officer, witnessed a lot, no help, tutor constable before becoming an interceptor! You are my inspiration thank you Ben. You really don’t realise how much you help the likes of me! Keep strong and safe!
I suffer with anxiety quite badly, these videos of yours help to put things into perspective for me. It’s pretty bad at the moment so thank you. Stay strong Ben xx
Same man. Hope you manage to get it under control soon bud
I'm a sufferer of anxiety, just try to be aware of your breathing, breathe in relaxed, until your lungs feel full, release with ease, continue this with everything you do and you'll feel the difference x hope it helps anyone. Honestly my anxiety is ruthless
@@whatwhywhenthen
Great advice mate.
Like many of us who follow Ben I suffer from PTSD which can manifest itself in horrific anxiety attacks.
It's not helped by the fact that I have stressed induced epilepsy, so the actual daily anxiety of becoming "too anxious" can be overwhelming!
The breathing exercises taught by my counsellor have saved me from completely crashing. Something so simple we take for granted and barely think about, yet learning when to actively think about it and do it properly has had a profound impact on my day to day life.
I suffered too, started martial arts and it makes a huge difference.
I have always admired and respected police in the UK regardless of what anyone else thinks, and watching your videos only grows my love. I hope everyone in the police can be more like you
Hi Ben, I hope you're keeping well.
As a serving cop myself I just want to say thanks to you for bringing to light all of the issues and crap we have to deal with in this thankless role. Keep up the great work and the videos....you're an inspiration mate👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼keep safe
I know in some places drugs are burnt in the crematorium, while weapons are taken to the armoury to be destroyed (or sold depending on their value and condition). And yeah, they're usually kept on hand until after the court case is finished.
I love everything you're doing and ngl it's helping me tackle my own LEO related PTSD so thank you
Thanks for answering my question Ben! It’s a great education to hear about the experiences of policing from a different perspective
About the Pen as a handy tool with Hot Fuzz, when that snobby guy gets really irate with Angel making notes, “stop WRITING!!!” Hahaha class video boys
Said this before mate, you are so much stronger than you think. I really hope this channel helps you so much, you are a top bloke with some amazing stories, some funny some tragic but all told from the heart with honesty. Keep it up buddy.
Hi Ben, I have been listening to Hand Cuffed Emotions on my walk to work the past two days. Bought the book and read it as soon as it came out and now reading Hotel Tango 23. Loving them ! X
Always,and always so great to hear your stories Ben. And i will thank you for the second book you wrote. Again wonderfully written, i love the way you write, it's honest, with some humor, self-mockery, the disappointment you felt. Please don't stop writting, don't stop telling and sharing your feelings and stories. You help us all. Thanks a lot Ben.
I have only just come across your channel and have spent I don't know how long watching you answer questions. Love hearing about your thoughts on the police and showing how down to earth you are.
I've suffered with mental health issues from a young age and I have lots of respect for all you have done. I hope that you have found a way to cope with your PTSD and you are living a good life. ✌
Top man Ben. Keep up the good work. Your video's are fantastic, plus helping others with there own struggles.
Ben you’re an absolute inspiration. I understand you’ve had extremely tough days working as an officer however your stories are incredible, thank you for sharing it all with us. All the best X
Keep it coming Ben! Love hearing your takes.
Ben. What a fantastic bloke you are. Such an inspiration to today’s youth. Love your videos keep it up fella. Much love from Manchester 💜
Love your videos mate, I've spoken to numerous Police colleagues in the force I work for who find you a real inspiration!
Re the 174 at the roadside, I saw a 151, and the ONLY clue (apart from the four write offs) was a slow and confused response to questions. Eyes, fine. No slurring. No smell of “intoxicating liquor”. Dang.
Loving these videos Ben. I have a lot of respect for the police but even more after each video I watch. We are incredibly lucky to have you guys out there filling up your rucksacks so we don’t have to fill ours. Thank you.
Ben this was amazing and hats off too you.Top bloke and top police intercepter. Love this channel and i will be looking at buying your book.
Ben, thank you. Love your work.
Hi Ben love watching the videos & the way you are so down to earth 🤙🏻 keep the great content coming. T-shirt is quality.
Keep em coming dude love every. Video so far totally hooked on the channel mate ❤️
Awesome as always Ben, question for the next Q&A - when you were still in the job, what was your go to thing to do to unwind after a crappy shift
Absolutely brilliant thank you very much Ben 👌🏼
You have such an infectious laugh, good to see how you have got happier and more relaxed. Keep it up 😊
Love you Ben! Keep making these awesome videos! X
Thanks again, always interesting to listen to.
What a great guy. Honestly - we need more real, honest people to talk about their awesome careers.
Another great vid Big Ben. Kudos to you, for how your handling all this. Your an inspiration to us all. 💙💙💙💙🖋🖊
Really good Ben. Another excellent vid, well done.
Could you do a video on the advice you would give to someone starting a career in the police? Such as things you did, or things you'd wish you'd done differently. Love the videos!
Cracking, cheers Ben.
Cheers Jim
Just recently been told by psychotherapist and Dr I'm likely suffering from ptsd due to dv. My experience is just take each day as it comes as tomorrow is never promised. Keep speaking out. Love your channel.
Absolutely a top man,so brave talking about your mental health,you will have helped many men admit that they are also suffering who didn't realise it,myself included
Hi ben, I am 4 weeks into my training as a British Transport Police Special constable. I'll forget the first day of me unknowingly saying "ya right mate" to a chief inspector... Great start ahaha he found it funny luckily as he knew i was new and made me aware of how i should address such as PC being staff and anyone above SGT being sir/maam. Really enjoying the training and the police staff, PC's, SGT's, Trainers etc are absolutely fantastic.
Pro Tip for you Dominic... When wandering around the nick etc and encounter anyone in plain clothes, or in uniform but with their epaulettes covered, just address them a "Boss" or "Chief" as both are acceptable terms to address seniour ranks, and both are used to address just about anybody including your mates i.e "Morning Chief, how's tricks?"
Lol we've all done it mate. Glad the CI saw the funny side of it. Most will to be honest. All the best for your future career. Take care out there mate 👍
@@residentelect thankyou for your words. Really loving the BTP at the moment! all the things i am learning and the people i am meeting have been nothing but amazing.
the question about the justice system and sentencing is something i feel super strongly about. In my local area a pair of blokes got caught smuggling drugs, they got 11 years. Drunk driver crashes into broken down car and kills a 15 year old kid, 7 years. like my mind cannot fathom how you can get behind the wheel of a car drunk, kill someone and still get less time than a drugs offense.
At least the drunk driver got 7 years. I’ve heard of drivers who have killed people and completely avoided jail, they got a suspended sentence (which is literally nothing)
Keep doing what you're doing Ben! I bought both your books because I ran out of your videos 😅 I started the first one and couldn't put the thing down! Recommended to everyone 👍
Half way through HT23 at the moment, both books are amazing, although I think the first one needed better proof reading, lots of typing mishtooks 😆
Sorry Ben, I notice these things, my other half is a writer and is well into her 3rd book, and I do the proof reading, so I spot these things 😋
ngl, may have let out a small cheer when he said Back to the Future was his favourite film ^^
(also, coincidentally, happy Back to the Future day!)
Hi guys! My first book "Handcuffed Emotions: A Police Interceptor's Drive Into Darkness" is now available as an AUDIOBOOK on Audible/Amazon! Not into reading? well, why not let me read it to you?
bit.ly/HandcuffedAudible
Thanks so much for your questions, Ben x
My question - What was your most dramatic loss of control of a vehicle that you 'got away with' and didn't damage anything?
Keep the vids coming Ben!! Great stuff...
i wanna give a hug to Ben so bad. hes such a lovely lad :D
Loving the content! Keep it up!
The pen remark about being able to "f**k you up big time" was brilliant.
4:28, made me giggle that did, his facial expression, absolute quality, keep up the vids Ben
ben hope you keeping well just got both your books been put away for xmas i agree what you said about the law needs changes i said to a officer that cps needed changes his answer was he couldn't comment but smile on his face was enough to say yes your right
From New Zealand stay strong Ben your doing a good
Love it Ben! Great to see a fun side to you in this :) thanks for answering my question. I will definitely go to the shop tomorrow for some salt and vinegar Quavers! Never tried them before or knew the existed!!
Can't stand vinegar myself, or onions come to that.
Ty Ben. Don't stop being yourself. That includes getting tongue tied and shy. You help more by just talking and being relatable. Cheers from Oz
You are a great police officer..thank you
Omg my question made it in!!!!
Hero!!
It's interesting hearing Ben talk about happy times such as locating missing children. We humans are odd things and it's strange how trauma works, how we seem to be instinctively more effected long-term emotionally by negative things than we are happier things. You would like to think, for someone like Ben, it would be things like locating a missing 4 year old which really stay with you, so much so that it over-rides all the more horrific situations, but it always seems to be the other way around.
My first drink drive arrest blew 185, the custody skipper said he'd never seen anything that high, no idea how the bloke was still standing, he'd hit 4 vehicles across the borough before we got called to him, maniac
Love the videos Ben! Does your new book contain loads of stories etc too?
Can’t wait for this one!!!👍🏼
You are so amazing Ben keep doing the videos and I'm going to purchase your book ..I live in Bradford and was a massive fan of police interceptors especially when you was on amazing man Im a depressant and have been for years and had therapy ect so I get carrying the rucksack around x
Thank you
Simon Pegg character in Hot Fuzz mentions the pen and paper is the most useful tool that a police officer has so I was happy when Ben mentioned the pen.
You rock mate. Nice one. Hope you and yours are all well 👍👍
Cracking Video Ben,
Loving the T-Shirt
Looking forward to the next video.
Its Ok Not To Be Ok 💙💙💙💙
Excellent choice of film Ben. BTTF, my favourite trilogy of all time. I would highly recommend the BTTF musical they're showing in London at the moment.
Love how Ben shouted out the happy hour podcast, Ben was definitely the best guest jaackmaate had on.

T-shirt on point same as TBI great highlighting conditions
Got the book just started it great
Used to put the theme tune to the Sweeney on with blue lights and sirens.
Ahh the man has had both a Clio Valver and a 172…. Clearly Ben has taste 👍
Whenever I see a Ben Pearson upload, instant buzz!
Blushing
@@BenPearson1965 hahahaha yessss ben!
Where can I get that shirt ben!!! Loved the video! never stop buddy :)
I love the way when they start the question with hello he says hello back 😅
Hi, I am from the U.S.A. enjoy your videos. Hope your recovery is doing well. I watch the American and British police shows. You policing is so different than ours. Your police are not as rough as some of our police.
Just bought your first book on amazon, think its well worth a read before i fully get into the job as i start training in october 🤣
11:40... I think of speed limits as safety zones:
20= high likelihood of having to do an emergency stop (hence why are trained to do them during driving lessons and the test in 20zones only) - defensive driving
30=medium to high likelyhood of having to slow or stop - defensive driving
40= medium to low risk of stopping - defensive driving
50= low to no footfall and/or risk of the roadlayout - defensive driving
NSA= real driving, 60/70mph unless hazards (i.e. corners, junctions, blind dips and summits, other traffic) - progressive driving
Someone's been studying their Roadcraft manual 😁
Great post mate 👍
@@residentelect i've never read that sh*t in my life. Lol
This made my day👍👍
During a pursuit I don't really have time to think about a song, but my favorite one for afterward is beer for my horses whiskey for my men with Toby Keith and Willie Nelson lol.
In Victoria, it used to be the case that the disposal of drug exhibits was contracted to a company called Cleanaway, with oversight from a pair of senior police officers. Allegedly, one of the Cleanaway staff tossed some meth precursor chemicals into the incinerator whilst not paying attention, and the resultant explosion blew the whole side out of it, putting it out of action for weeks. I don't know if Cleanaway still has the contract!
My little brother got picked up by the police while he was out once when he was 12. He was on his way home from the park round the corner where he'd been with his mates. He's a smaller lad so does look younger than he is and a couple of Bobby's pulled up and asked his age and where he lived and the first thing he did was ask to see their warrant cards 😅👌. He told them our address and they brought him home and I spoke to them and they were very impressed that even though they were in uniform and marked van he still was cautious. Keep it up mate
Cheers Ben keep well buddy 👍🏻
Hard and it smells too
LOVE YOU BEN KEEP IT UP BUDDY LOVE THE CHANNEL LOVE THE Q&A DFTBA!!
Thank you x
Hi Ben, did you keep your handcuffs when you left policing ... ? :) - love the videos bud keep them coning.
You've got my vote 👍
Policy bollocks - well done for knowing your powers and having sound personal ethics and a huge dose of common sense!
hey brother, nice to see you having fun mate. Made me laugh some of your answers!! How do we know when a q&a is coming up so we can put a question in?
I love the idea of a "blue lights on" song being the spongebob theme tune....blue lights on > are you ready kids > aye aye captain
Always entertaining...makes me laugh anyway 😁
Love the t-shirt!
Hi Ben. Your book is brilliant and Oh so true. I do like the bit about santa, inparticular..
On par with Harry Tinge and John Suterland..
Fab! Regards. K.
Great video guys 😎
Such a top bloke
Lol I remember the green screen my grandad was a nightmare me use to drive his car with no tax and MOT he use to get pulled all the time and he use to say he is going to book in.
Hey Ben 😁 I love watching your videos, suffer from depression and anxiety myself so you're not alone. I always watched you on tv ☺️ just a quick question for you in the next video or something but here it is:
Police always despise drink drivers, why is the legal limit 35 and not 0?
Keep up the amazing videos mate 😊 absolute legend!!
As I understand it, a lot of things, such as over-the-counter medicines and prescription drugs can raise the level slightly above zero.
You Ben are a legend mate, I'm 50 years old and have so much respect for the police. Top people doing a tough job. Every time I watch you on here mate always bring a tear to my eye mate, you been through so much. Hats off to all bobbies .
Cant believe I'm saying this but respect. Very insightfull
MT09! Good man haha!
Great video though, thank you!
So many questions, firstly, whats with the go faster stripe?
Saw a guy on Road Wars a few years back blow 154 and was relatively coherent, not stumbling at all. The officer involved were in shock!
Just watched the episode again where yourself and B Ben were worrying together. B Ben said he had to work with you for punishment. I laughed so hard. I agree with you, a set prison time should always be served. If they don't behave then time is added.
Hope still seeing Ben in Police Interceptors
AWESOME point regarding the "what's an acceptable speed" debate, and YES it's the cupboard for tomato sauce/ketchup. Another great vid cheers.
Finding lost people, PRAISE BE Mr Pearson
Sorry, we keep ours in the fridge. No room in the cupboard anyway 🤣
Hi Ben. I used to watch you and your teem every night when you were on. Because of that I'm 16 and taking public services in college wanting to eventually be a police officer. Is there any tips you would give that would make me stand out amongst the crowd?? Thank you for being an inspiration. Keep up the videos.
Hey. My advice be yourself think outside the box with any answers you give. Think of professional experience (school and education ect and also home experience. Such as friends and family situations.
Dosnt need to be huge and out of the box situation just something that demonstrates your abilities. Also joining specials is always a great way to gain some experience
Ben, can you imagine how hard Police work would have been without Radio?
Cannot agree more with the back to the future answer!
An old Sgt I know used to say when writing tickets that "they'll run out of money before I run out of ink". So yeah the pen is a great piece of kit.
