It might feel extra hard to reach out for help today because it’s Christmas. But please know you don’t have to face anything alone. If you’re having a hard time, we’ll face it with you. We’re here all day and night 💚

Right place, right time today. One of those occasions where you just hope there's an unmarked car nearby, and today there was and it was me!

Getting out, on foot is something I really enjoy and try to do as often as possible. Taking time to speak to and listen to people is really important. Whilst in Lulworth we spoke to someone who'd lived there for 40 years and he was pleased to see us.

This post has a 24,000 reach, so you can expect lots of views and opinions, of course. Speed always seems to attract strong opinions but for me it's great to see the topic being discussed. That's the point of the post. Interesting to see views on my ability, powers and dress.

#specialconstable Paul worked a response shift in Purbeck last night, which eventually led him to Verwood for an adult welfare check. The night took an unexpected turn when he looked for two runaway horses. Could you be a special constable. #specialconstable #police #verwood

In other news, yesterday I ran my first ever #UltraMarathon. The route traversed Dartmoor from South to North, totalling 48K. It was a great day, very boggy and elevation I can only describe as beastly. Loved it. Recovering today, but looking forward to the next one 🏅

Not a ‘fossil’ alarm for SC Paul today and definitely a blast from the past! He was dispatched to investigate a potential piece of unexploded ordnance on one of the #JurrasicCoast beaches. If you find anything that you think may contain explosives call 999. #UXO #dorset #sc

Welfare for our teams, working at scenes, is absolutely paramount. We've got an FSV for each of our Regional Forces, and they're deployed regularly to support all forensic teams at crime scenes. 🚽✅ 🚰 ✅ 🥤✅ 💻✅ 🛜✅ 📺✅ ☕️✅ 🫖✅ 💺✅ ♨️✅ ❄️✅
