It is with great sadness that Nottinghamshire Police confirms the death of a serving officer in the line of duty.
Following swift CCTV enquiries, officers identified the man and paid him a visit later that evening...🏠🚓

We’re committed to catching sexual offenders. Every report is taken seriously and we will take action 👇

| Overnight, while we were out and about on patrol, we stopped a car that was swerving all over the road.
The driver blew over the drink-drive limit.
Incredibly, there was also a baby in the car, who is now safe and sound.
The driver was arrested for both offences.
Today, the Neighbourhood Team had the pleasure of welcoming Ethan and his family for a tour of our station.
He got to help out with really important police work - patrolling on trains, helping to train

and even arresting dad!
Our thanks to
