New guidance issued by Staffordshire police has warned staff that using words such as “policeman” may be illegal. A 12-page guide also cautioned against the phrases “man up” and “grow a pair”. The guide encourages officers to use gender neutral terms such as “police officer” rather than “policeman”.
Tory MP Nigel Mills has slammed police officials for banning “perfectly acceptable, normal language”.
Apart from police officer, other words and phrases staffs police have banned are:
Cleaning lady
Half caste
Mixed race
Spokesman
Diabetic person
Handicapped
BAME
Husband
Wife
He
She
Staffordshire Police stated that their list was “by no means exhaustive”. Perish the thought.

And some people wonder why public confidence in the police is at an all time low.
