Officers made use of their additional first aid training to offer potentially life saving support this morning to support this incident in Plymouth

An abnormally busy Tuesday night shift led to a couple of early armed deployments in Plymouth, one of which resulting in an arrest. Then a couple of RTCs, a pursuit and a deployment to an incident in South Devon to finish the night.

Yesterday the team made use of the penthrox to support a motorcyclist involved in a collision in South Devon. Great addition to the medic bag.

Great teamwork meant that when concurrent jobs in North Devon, St. Austell and Plymouth came in we were able to support all of them. Serious miles covered by some overnight. One crew late off with a drink driver as well 30 miles from their home station.

Friday night shift turned out to be a busy one for the ARVs. 4 in custody in Launceston after an incident in North Cornwall. 2 in custody in Plymouth after they assaulting the ARV officers following a vehicle stop. One in for driving offences on the M5 as well.

Sunday night shift turned out not to be a day of rest. ARV went to report of a male sat in a car only to be driven at and their car ended up in someone’s front garden when trying to escape. One in custody!

Suspect arrested after running from a serious assault proceeds to tell the ARV officers how old and out of shape they are. “We aren’t the one in cuffs!!” Irony not lost

So when the ARV turns up to a drunk male who won’t move on at closing time and tells him to leave they didn’t mean go to your car then fail to stop for them. After a short pursuit one in custody 🤦‍♂️

It seems a long time ago when we started our shifts this week in Plymouth with the power tool incident but the week ended with another authorised job in Torquay with a concern for a male with a nail gun.

So a return trip to North Devon was the order of the evening in order to locate and arrest a wanted male for assault offences in @WMPolice with one in custody👍

Another couple of hundred miles put on the car last night with a trip to Torrington to support our ARV team in North Devon. Whilst others in Plymouth were arresting a subject in Saltash after a report of threats with some garden tools.

To finish the shift officers then deployed to the Exmouth area after a report of a possible sighting of a handgun.

Officers called away from their paperwork for the 2 subjects with knives after a report of a male brandishing an axe. Another one arrested

The busy set continues. Report of males with knives in the street in Plymouth. 2 males located and arrested with a couple of knives and a hammer.

Busy weekend for the team. Both of these incidents in Plymouth show the variety within the role between the medical support we look to offer and the firearms capabilities for the incident in Ham.

Found ourselves in South Devon again overnight after a report of a burglary in Salcombe. Vehicle recovered near to Thurlestone beach which then led to a 3 hr search involving the dog and local officers. And just when we thought it wasn’t going to be our night. 2 in custody. 👍

Pursuit this evening from Torquay throughout South Devon ended in Strete with the arrest of one suspect. Whilst making enquiries another car turns up and one in for drink and disqualified driving. Response, Neighbourhood, Dogs, NPAS, ARVs, Comms and Traffic all working together.

A mid afternoon pursuit in the North of Plymouth with @RoadPolAlliance led to another alliance arrest for driving offences.

Earlies have had 2 prisoners this morning. Great start with @RoadPolAlliance boxing a stolen motorcycle and having finished that first car stopped leaving Charles Cross failed a roadside drug test
