If you are getting into LEGO & fancy a longer build with some mechanical or ‘technic’ elements, I’d really recommend the Concorde set! 💯

It’s honestly excellent, with great working undercarriage and a movable nose cone too. 👀

Well worth looking into! #BankHoliday ✈️💯

Your #bankholiday reminder that if you don’t make time for your wellness, you’ll be forced to make time for your illness.

If you’re worn out & don’t feel like making plans, don’t.

Take some time out. The job is relentless at the moment, look after you please. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

Thought I’d take this opportunity to point out that in some countries #NationalService includes Policing…👀

Perhaps those who question how we do things, might have a different opinion if they or a family member have had to do it themselves.🤷🏼‍♂️

Food for thought!

I’ve long thought being on AID is like a school trip, hear me out… 🏫 🚌

✅ Grumpy carrier driver who *always* needs ☕️
✅ Rubbish pack lunch 🥪
✅ Work book to fill out (POAB) 📖
✅ Teacher (Sgt) who doesn’t know where you’re going or how to get there 👀🫡

😔 #PerArduaAdAstra 🇬🇧

It’s been a busy week already…😅

Back in after a quick turn around from last night to this morning for the Emirates FA Cup Wembley Stadium 🏆

I know my team have been run ragged, let’s hope the snacks on offer are good; I think it’ll be another long day…👀😂 #ThinBlueLine 🚨

7 years since the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena. 😔

Thinking of the victims and their families today. A night of entertainment and joy stolen, and turned into a true nightmare.

Thank you to all those who ran towards danger and did their best to help. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

You don’t get many leaders that understand it’s little things that make a huge difference. 👀

I know most of you know it, but trust me when I say it, we have an excellent leader in Lynne Owens, always willing to listen & genuinely cares. 👏

Thank you Ma’am. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

It’s the middle of the night, you hear a smash down stairs.

You get out of bed, run downstairs and see someone standing in your living room.

You grab your phone and dial 999.

The police arrive a short time later and tell the ‘suspect’ they’re under arrest on suspicion of

If you’re unsure what’s happened; before today, an allegation of crime was made & a Constable *could* use reasonable force to arrest someone, based on that allegation.

This outcome has nullified that.

Cops will question their every action & whether it’s worth their liberty. 🚨

I naively thought a few weeks ago, that after our colleague was seriously injured with a samurai sword, that society would realise our job is rather dangerous.

I blame myself for being naive.

Cops will continue to quit in their droves.

You reap what you sow. #ThinBlueLine 🤦🏼‍♂️🚨

Absolutely chuffed that Joe & Alannah have been nominated for National Police Bravery Awards.👏

I couldn’t think of a more deserving pair.
Coming into work the morning after they were attacked there was such a collective shock. 😔

Wishing them the best of luck! #ThinBlueLine 🚨

I’m not one for ‘awareness weeks’ to be honest with you; but I’ll always advocate for being aware of your #MentalHealth 🧠

Photography & Lego are my go to stress release. The combination of creativity & achieving something works for me.

Make time for what you love doing. 🔥🚨

Ok so why is Operation Early Dawn *incredibly dangerous*? 👀

Let’s start with the easy bit; releasing prisoners early primarily sees them reoffend and breach their license, triggering an immediate recall to prison, thus making the early release utterly pointless and a revolving

“I’m the police, and I'm here to arrest you. You've broken the law. I did not write the law. I may even disagree with the law but I will enforce it. No matter how you plead, cajole, beg or attempt to stir my sympathies, nothing you do will stop me from placing you in a steel cage

Let’s not forget our Detectives either…

Why don’t they get the same option to carry #Taser as their uniform colleagues?

They do proactive work & arrest enquiries, & are exposed to the exact same dangers?

They should be allowed to carry too. 🤷🏼‍♂️

#Taser ForAll ⚡️ #ThinBlueLine 🚨

If you’re a Police Leader and you’re not reconsidering how we deploy unarmed Cops to edged weapon calls, please go back to the floor. 👀

Do a shift as Section Sergeant and see how many times Armed Response is declined. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We all deserve to go home in one piece. #ThinBlueLine 🚨
