This article of a few months ago warned of worrying consequences following the sacking of 800 weather staff. With at least 70 dead thus far, my thoughts are with the victims and emergency workers in Texas. space.com/the-universe/c…

British Policing would be greatly hindered without its talented family members of dogs. A year after she died doing her job, PD Zyla is fondly remembered.

When oh when will women in policing be free from outdated male stereotyping and general negativity? To all the women of the blue profession, thank you for your invaluable contribution and sacrifice.

Happy 95th birthday to my father over there in sunny Jamaica. His milestone birthday is a grand reminder that many kings and queens of the Windrush generation are still here. Windrush legacy son, Vernal x

The National Police Bravery Awards will be held tonight. Being a judge was a highlight of my time in policing, and I remain humbled by the selfless professionalism that I saw in constabularies across England & Wales. My gratitude to past and future recipients. Support the Blue!

Racism doesn't catch criminals, good policing does. My condolences to the victim's family and best wishes to police in finding the suspect, whatever his skin shade.

Tonight's Bravery Awards will acknowledge just some of the amazing men and women who wear the uniform. Unsung heroes deserve acknowledgement too, including officers who see terrible sights that they'll never forget...and blue heroes who went to work and never returned home. 💙🚔

Tributes have been paid to Blue Stevens, the 24-year-old man stabbed to death outside a luxury London hotel on Wednesday night. Met Police are investigating whether the attack outside the Park Tower hotel and casino was a robbery. Wishing his family justice. R.I.P.

"Just a little girl"?! PC Lydia Ward deserves respect and appreciation, but armchair detectives only seek to pile on and ridicule from the safety of their keyboard. Too sad.

Perfection never was and never will be the forte of the blue profession, which, for example, got it badly wrong in strip-searching innocent schoolgirl Child Q, but got it compellingly right in bravely apprehending the sword-wielding killer of promising schoolboy Daniel Anjorin.🚔

Dedicated police officers are never fully off-duty. This clip from last year is a reminder of the selfless people who wear the uniform. Support the blue!
