Seems I've missed some joke here but nevermind!

And thanks to the person who PMed me with a bit more info.

Basically, if someone joins the guards they might know nothing about drugs beyond the hyped up nonsense they read in papers or see on TV. I'm just trying to see what sort of training they get.

Do they get a sample of the drugs laid out in front of them with each one explained to them with common uses, etc.

Some tv shows (yes, tv .. but I'm trying to check!) sees cops tasting the stuff to see if it's real - are you taught to do this? How do you know what to taste for? Do they have trainees doing this down in Templemoore?

Cheers

Dave!

I'm also curious bout this

Yes we get training in what they look like, what they are, etc but you dont taste cocaine to see if its real. Your tongue will go numb for starters.

ive no idea what happens in tempelmore, but, in our school last year, they had a pyscologist come in and talk to us as a group, tell us about all the drugs. what happens, how to detect, how to know when someone is high and stay away, rough prices and showed us all of them(in a locked brifcase), he showed all newspaper articles of cases where people died from drugs etc

Basicaaly, something like that witha bit more detail could be good, because he told us everything we needed to know

Funnily enough the charlie I was shown at training school didn't look anything like that in the 30 wraps my first prisoner for possession/pwits had stuck up his behind (I was going to say crack but didn't want to confuse the issue)......:eek:.....though in thinking about it there's only so much you can show the kiddies in training without scaring em

I know, was a tongue in cheek comment regarding a bit of kafuffle that happened here recently where they used an air corps heli to fly to the scene of a rta involving an off duty garda.
