Very busy at the SPRA day. These pesky guys were shoplifting but I sorted them out.

I have been to pay my respects to my fallen colleagues Scottish Police Memorial

Busy, busy, busy

Still busy

On route to Surrey to visit Ian kyle . We have a busy week ahead as we are representing COPS at the Blue Light Show at Olympia then driving to the Lake District to do LightTheLakes , do come and see us if you are attending either event. #FollowTheBear

Everything packed for the Blue Light Show tomorrow. I have sent Ian kyle to bed, he is going to be very busy but it is all for a good cause COPS

Very busy on the COPS stand at the Blue Light Show but I have just managed a quick meeting with the ladies from the fire service. They can give me a fireman’s lift anytime 😊

My lovely friend Julia Jaeger stopped by the COPS stand today. I am looking forward to working with her at the IAWP conference in Glasgow in September. Always an excellent few days.

Day 1 at the Blue Light show over. I made lots of new friends and was able to tell them all about COPS

All set up for day 2 at the Blue Light Show for COPS

Had a quick look had some new bikes then booked a holiday. This is a great show.

London Fire Brigade insisted on having their photo taken with me, what a nice group of people. As always I told them all about COPS

Final post at the end of two very busy days at the Blue Light Show . Thank you to everyone who has visited the COPS stand. Straight to bed now as we set off early tomorrow for LightTheLakes

I missed the first day of Light the Lakes due to a nasty accident on the M6 but we are all set up for day 2. COPS

Made a new friend, everyone meet Ambo Bear

Stall set up for the Rural Crime Event at Strathclyde Country Park. Going to be a very hot day! COPS

Goodness what a very busy day we have had, I need to lie down in a darkened room! COPS

Do you remember Peter the Panda who I found hiding in the attic? He went to live with the nice people at Lanarkshire Police Historical Society and learnt to drive the old police cars. You can see him in the background, doesn’t he look smart.

I have been helping to pack the boxes for the COPS Survivor Weekend. Tomorrow we will load them on the van then be on our way. I did try to help Christine Fulton count the chocolate for the children’s goody bags but apparently I wasn’t supposed to sample it! #RememberedWithPride

And we are off, COPS Survivor Weekend here we come. #SurvivorWeekend2025 #RememberedWithPride
