Quick Changeover WPC
BW Framed Edition
There was a time in policing when “work life balance” meant balancing your radio on your knee while sitting in Trap No. 1 trying to remember what day it was.
The Quick Changeover was that mythical eight hour gap between shifts. Long enough to question your life choices. Not long enough to recover from them.
This WPC edition celebrates the unsung endurance of lady officers who somehow managed to:
• Finish a late turn
• Start an early
• Reapply mascara
• And still lock up a disorderly before refs
All on three hours sleep and a custodian vending machine cappuccino.
Front and centre is the only quiet place in the nick: the cubicle. A sanctuary of sarcasm. A museum of graffiti wisdom. A living archive of gossip, philosophy and questionable poetry written in biro by officers who clearly should have been home in bed.
Observe the details:
• Shirt slightly untucked but still sharper than the lads
• Radio clipped on because taking it off wastes seconds
• Utility belt discarded like emotional baggage
• Expression that says “If Control asks me to extend, I’m moving to Spain”
And yet… still composed. Still professional. Still the one everyone ends up going to for actual competence.
The walls are alive with the same chaotic brilliance as every real police station toilet. Roster complaints. Shift romance rumours. Equipment moans. Existential debates. It’s therapy without paperwork.
This colour framed edition highlights every scribble, every tired glance, every perfectly judged eye roll.
Perfect for:
• Serving officers who survived the shift pattern
• Retired WPCs who still wake up before the alarm
• Anyone who knows “quick” is policing humour
• That one colleague who somehow kept it together while the rest of you unravelled
Because sometimes the only place you could get your head straight…
…was five quiet minutes in Trap No. 1 before briefing.
Sharp. Honest. Painfully relatable.
