Ahead of Armed Forces Week next week, we’re pleased to launch the Forcer Protocol to support teams searching for armed forces veterans reported missing. It ensures we've got key info in the hope of finding them more quickly if they go missing. Visit orlo.uk/NGWrg

What an evening in #Southampton. Plainclothes patrols led to 3 in custody for drug supply offences. Thousands of £ in cash and drugs off our streets. Then on way home from 12 hour shift, ended up behind drink driver. Traffic colleagues arrived in minutes and male arrested #90289

During proactive foot patrol in #Southampton last Friday, I stopped a suspicious young male. In his bag, I found a large meat carving knife. A further strip search found approx 50 wraps of Heroin & Crack. I arrested the male on suspicion of weapon and drug supply offences. #90289

Two arrests last night for drug driving. I saw one using cocaine whilst driving - he tested positive at the roadside and I arrested. Later another failed to stop for me going through a red, hitting a dead end. I arrested the male after he tested positive for cannabis. #90289

Did a much needed spin round last night catching up with some SCs - or not due to how busy they were ! Great to know pretty much every Sc I made contact with was on a job or arrested someone or doing caring for someone - Awesome work as always. #HIOWCSpecials
