I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again and again it’s the people that make our organisation… 👀

Just worked two long days with a quick turn around in between, but I’ve laughed and been in a good mood both days because of our people. ☺️

Thank you all. 🫡

Supporting your Officers is the starting point to retention. 👀

Police Officers face endless verbal vitriol on a daily basis and saying something in the heat of the moment, can be dealt with by a reminder.

Correct decision #MerseyPolice more of this please. 🫡

A very special shout out this evening, to the brilliant The NFRSA for reaching a major mile stone!

The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals was only set up in 2022, but has now gifted over £200,000 to retired service animals!

Amazing work! 🐕 🐎

It’s rarely one Police Force that will respond to a Major Incident.

Thinking of our Cambridgeshire colleagues too, who ran towards incredible danger putting the safety of others before their own.

A true team effort, that requires bravery and absolute selflessness.

Thinking of our BTP colleagues who are currently responding to an incident on a train to Huntingdon where multiple people have been stabbed and two suspects have been arrested. 😔

I got talking to some members of the public earlier about what our days are really like? 👀

Varied! 😅

Today on #PublicOrder duties I have:

✅ Met a colleague from Zurich
✅ Policed #CityofLondon
✅ Travelled to North London
✅ And worked with #MetTaskforce

“Hi Mate, other half and his best friends from the same shift always throw a big #Halloween party every year but this is his first time hosting as a dad and he’s super proud! Please can you recreate this photo in #Lego?

Thanks very much!” 🫡

Have a blast! 💥

“Thursday, October 31st. Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal.

But when that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call, it’s a warning - to them.

Fear, is a tool.

They think I’m hiding in the shadows, but I am the shadows.”

Incredibly well done to those who passed their Sergeants exam today.

It’s no mean feat, I remember the stress and time running out all too well.

Now, if you’re ready get some experience acting up.

And if you need to retake it, remember, we go again always. 🫡

I’ve spent the last three days on what should have been a relatively boring course.

Instead, I Met colleagues from:

✅ Met CC
✅ Project Alpha
✅ Specialist Crime
✅ Other BCUs / OCUs

Brilliant people, doing phenomenal Police work.

They make me so, so proud.

Last day.

Some of you know #CopMoustache, some of you don’t.

All you need to know, is he’d do anything to stay, and will be a significant loss to Policing tomorrow.

Leadership comes in many forms, and his positivity and love for The Job, is the best of them.

I get a lot of DMs.

They vary in requests for builds or how people are feeling or jobs that they’ve been too and I am always truly humbled by most of them.

In the last 24 hours some of the work I’ve read has left me speechless.

Thank you.

Heroes, all of you.

“Hi, I know you probably get lots of requests… I’ve just resigned after 10 and a half years in the job. I finished specialised in PO, MOE, LSO, recip, and was a PO trainer. Is there a #LEGO figure you could do for me?!”

An awesome skill set! 💯

Best of luck!

Globally, Policing is a hard job to explain…🤷🏼‍♂️

Trying to tell loved ones how your day has been is sometimes impossible, but one of my colleagues had found a great solution.

If you fancy a novel take on Policing, give Thin Blue Rhymes a follow on instagram 👀

Today poignantly we remember two Metropolitan Police Officers killed in the Line of Duty, protecting the public.

PC Nina Mackay who died on this day 28 years ago.

PC Kulwant Sidhu who died on this day 26 years ago.

Our profession can take everything from us.

As you’ll know, #MuseeLouvre fell victim to a well planned theft over the weekend…😅

The internet never fails to deliver other aspects of a story, the suave French Detective really did deserve to be built, as did his less than impressed uniformed colleague…👀

“Hi Mate, meant to send this ages ago, I just want to reassure anyone looking to leave The Job, they’re doing the right thing.

16 years in, so I miss the people but don’t miss the anxiety of a complaint from every job you go to.”

It’s a sorry state of affairs.

Our team have had an emotional roller coaster of a week. 😅

So here’s your important reminder to enjoy your rest days.

Whether you simply rest or make plans, enjoy them. There’s as much benefit to catching up on sleep, as there is seeing the people you love.

I only build legends in #Lego. Thank you Sergeant Ansell for your tenacity and bravery. 🫡

Ten years to reach this point.

Ten years of endless stress and anxiety for doing an exceptionally difficult job.

Ten years of waking up everyday and not knowing when it will end.

Ten years of wondering was swearing an oath worth it?

Ten years finally, over.
