On call SFC last night woke with a call about a vulnerable missing person. Simply blown away by the sheer determination of all those involved to find the person and despite really challenging circumstances they did 🙏National Police Air Service @ApuBch BCH Police Dogs Herts Police #keepingpeoplesafe

London to Brighton 🚴‍♀️ 3 weeks away so up early for another training run. The miles and hills don’t seem so bad when the sun is shining and I’m fuelled 🧁 😋 #L2B #BHF British Heart Foundation

Back in the homeland appreciating a much needed break from work, its made even more special seeing Coldplay at the Principality Stadium 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😍🎶🎤#ColdplayCardiff #Coldplay

I have many happy memories of celebrations in the Market Square having been a student in #Nottingham in the 90s, seeing it filled reinforces the love I have for this city and the warmth this special community has. which I hope can be used to help heal this shared trauma & pain ❤️

Congratulations to everyone who like me completed the British Heart Foundation #LondontoBrighton 🚴‍♀️ yesterday. It was a hot, hilly wet 54 miles but we did it 🙏 to all the emergency services, St John’s Ambulance & Marshals for your support & to the public whose cowbells gave us such a boost ❤️

Caught up with Watford Police officers who’d dealt with one of the more difficult aspects of policing yesterday. It wasn’t their professionalism that most impressed me but hearing them say it was their privilege to have the opportunity to help those in need #proud Herts Police

In Notts for the East Midlands 2023 LGBT+ Annual conference. I am privileged & proud to be amongst so many colleagues who (like me) are committed to developing and delivering a service that is supportive of all its staff and one that is truly diverse 🌈#PoliceLGBT23 Herts Police

Halfway through my first half night shift of the week. As senior managers we often get sanitised feedback on some of our introductions, so as we’re working through the impact of this resourcing method I thought it better to experience it first hand HertsPolFed Herts Police
