Last night our special guest was none other than West Mercia Police T/CC Richard Cooper who took part in our THRIVE based control room exercise. Fascinating to have the Big Boss's views on how we prioritise incidents. Lots of spirited discussion with no right or wrong answers!

To all of the police family past and present. Please always remember it's ok to not be ok. I for one will always be there for any Brother or Sister in Blue to talk to.

Perfect weather for our adventure to Oaker Wood Leisure. Cadets all briefed and about to start activities.

First up, Laser Clay shooting. Not as easy as it looks but a magnificent last minute victory for Leader Simon!

Lots of pics of our amazing trip to Oaker Wood Leisure on our Instagram northworcestershirecadets instagram.com/northworcester… Huge thanks to the brilliant staff at Oakerwood for who nothing was too much trouble. Excellent customer service and super value for money.

Massive thanks to Matt Nicol MD of Nicol & Co for an inspirational talk last night. Matt spoke of his amazing journey with lots of brilliant advice. Of particular note was just how much Matt contributes back into his local community. Brilliant engagement for our cadets.

Thanks also to Supt Mel Paley for another visit. All of us at North Worcestershire Cadets are extremely grateful for your support and help.

Our Police Cadets are currently doing a 24 hour sponsored walk. Raising money for a charity offering horse riding to both able and disabled riders in #Nuneaton NNWEC #warwickshire delighted to have the High Sheriff of Warwickshire Warwickshire PCC Chief Supt Belcher with us at the start.

Sad day as I said my goodbyes to a true friend from my driving school days. A day made slightly easier in the knowledge that the hearse did a lovely 3 car overtake on the way to the funeral. Russ would have loved that. Sleep well mate.

Huge thanks to Tranai Todd CEO of Support Through Sport for travelling all the way from Nottingham just to talk to us. Tranai's passion and commitment to improving the lives of disadvantaged young people is truly inspiring. Many thanks to our High Sheriff Ian Smith for organising

Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results today. Hope all your hard work gets the results you deserve. Remember there is plenty of support out there if it doesn't quite work out.

Absolutely brilliant, well done all. Meanwhile, over the border we are yet again "paused" with no recruiting. To think we set up our schemes together......
