Ok folks, here's my problem.
We have this rookie, I won't mention gender nor age. The person has been around for 1 year now.
I know I was pretty weak coming out of training but nothing like this. Here are some examples.
1. Going to a call of a suicidal male who has a 3030 rifle in the house. The rook didn't have their gun out. It was at night, the rook even lit me up with their flashlight to see where I was while we were standing outside the house!!! I had to yell at the rook to turn off the light.
2. Going to a crazy woman call. We had to seize some firearms from the house. The rook told the woman to go get the firearms from the house while the rook waited outside!
3. While I was ready to go toe to toe with a client, the rook decided to wait 6 feet behind me!!!!
4. I got out of the driver side of the police car (PC) ran around the back of the PC down the side of a house after the runner before the rook even got out of the PC.
5. Several of the members have caught the rook lying about small issues in the office.
6. The judge has torn the rook a new *** on the stand for extremely poor evidence testimony.
7. The rook will ask questions before looking it up in the legislation. If the person they ask tells them to go look it up, the rook will go ask someone else.
I guess I could go on and on. These issues have been raised with the rook but the rook takes it as a personal attack. The rook cannot handle constructive criticism. Both management and same level collegues have approached the rook but to no avail.
Hmmm... on paper the rook looked good for the job, I'm sure recruiting was estactic they found a suitable candidate. In reality, the rook just doesn't cut the grade. Not all people who look good on paper are really cut out for this type of career, you have to want to do this.
Maybe I'm just venting... any others have similar problems and or solutions? Heck you all could vent, I'd love to read it.

If anyone takes legal action against me on this post, I will immediately go on stress leave for 6 months and then I will sue you and the force.
