What a heartwarming story this was at the weekend. Our ARV so nearly had another mini crew member in the back! Quick thinking and a spacious X5, just in the nick of time - well done team and welcome baby Abiman @EssexPoliceFSU

This was one of the most challenging jobs we have seen in recent years. @EssexPoliceFSU @EPDogSection @_ERSOU and our Serious Crime Directorate worked hundreds of hours to bring them all to justice. Essex Police Ronnie Egan

👨‍🚒 Geraint Jones is on course to become an on-call firefighter for Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 🚒 As part of #PCAFuturesWeek the PCA witnessed his training at Maidstone as his cricket skills cross over to the fire service. 👉 bit.ly/FiremanJones 👏 Great work, Geraint Jones!

Myself and @SInspMacLeod had the honour of laying the wreath in my wonderful home town this morning with @ChelmsfordCPT @EPMarine Essex Fire Service & EEAST Ambulance Service On our wreath: We are able to serve today because of your sacrifice in conflict. We must never forget. @essexpolice

Darcey is a 6 year old girl from Burnham on Crouch who is appealing for people to donate presents to pass onto local charities this Christmas. There has never been a better day to support this cause so please be kind today & donate a present. #WorldKindessDay #unitedinkind

A huge #ThankYou to the Essex Police teams who did brilliantly tonight finding & arresting this man. Thanks also to the public & media for their help. The murder investigation continues.

Today #WeRemember Inspector Mark Estall who sadly died on this day while on duty in 2017. Mark served his community for almost 27 years and was much-loved and respected by his colleagues. Today, our thoughts are with everyone who knew Mark. 💙

So far today I've spent (socially distant) time with #Grays local policing team, custody and front office. Top work by teams - adapting and doing things differently to respond to emerging challenges and keep people safe #protectingandservingEssex

Let's see as many of you as possible on doorsteps tonight to acknowledge those that will be keeping us safe in weeks to come. We thank you. #clapforourcarers

I'm asking those who have served their community in the emergency services to join the challenge of posting pictures of themselves in uniform. Pics, no description. Goal is to flood with positive photos instead of negativity. Copy text to your timeline and share great memories.

Our Chief Constable Chief Constable BJ Harrington QPM - Essex Police says thank you for staying home and saving lives. Please continue to do the same this Bank Holiday weekend. We will be out #ProtectingandServingEssex and encouraging people who are not out for essential journeys to stay home.

Clocking off as duty officer... A massive thank you to the public of Essex who remained inside today. Our officers on patrol reported very few people out and about. 👍 Loved coming home to my girls PDBaloo pictures! Essex Police #ProtectingandServingEssex #StayHomeSaveLives

Great work still going on from our officers at Thurrock in partnership with Thurrock Council Thurrock CSP

Learning to do things differently- great to engage with our IAG members tonight through zoom and have timely updates from Richard Melton on policing during lockdown. Grateful to all those adhering and supporting @ThurrockCPT by #StayHomeSaveLives

#OpGambler saw 20 more arrested last week. Metropolitan Police & Essex Police team up and target criminals crossing our respective borders! That’s 156 in total! Great teamwork!
