I had support ,opportunities and encouragement coming out of my ears and I’m really grateful to all those that supported and believed in me - too many to mention but THANK YOU 🙌🏽
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.
The worst part my job is when my colleagues get assaulted or abused😡
Three members of my team were assaulted today . Two have hand injuries and one has a broken leg .
UNACCEPTABLE but offender is in custody .
Very proud of my officers
Day 1 as FIM or should I say night shift all done ✅
After a full on and long set on my old team as well as this night shift , rest days couldn’t come soon enough🥱
A unit enjoy your well deserved rest days 🙌🏽

I remember that young 20 year old who lacked confidence & felt he had to be someone else to get on

So 92 new student officers from
@WMPolice
had their attestation today .They swore an oath to uphold the office of constable & whilst sadly because of covid19 this had to be done socially distanced & the cohort split into two - it was still a special & impactive day 🙌🏽
@Police_Now
Being true to yourself is so important in policing and is how we want our officers to arrive when they join

Some fantastic work by our
@Trafficwmp
@firearmsWMP
officers yesterday 🙌🏽
Following 5 armed car jackings over a 2/3 day period , our officers intercepted and arrested 2 offenders, secured a stolen vehicle and recovered a firearm that was thrown out of a car window .

One was grabbed around the throat and the other punched to the face & called a p*ki multiple times
UNACCEPTABLE

for looking after my Nan last night
She was really unwell yesterday whilst I was on lates .I dialled 999 & they were at hers in 5 mins .She was taken to the QE ,seen really quickly ,checked & looked after and home by 1am🙌🏽
This is rude & out of order. What I see is a young professional officer not rising to the bate-good on him
We have no idea of the shift or week he has had, the incidents he has attended, lives he has impacted, difference made or achievements within his career
#PoliceFamily

Had such a passionate conversation with PC Vanessa Barrett around the importance of role models , representation & making a difference 👮🏽♀️🙌🏽

A male that was arrested for recall to prison tonight spat in one of the officers face , called the other a p*ki various times and then tried to head butt both officers 😡
Both officers are ok and I’m pleased that this vile individual will be going back behind bars 👊🏽
I said
#goodbye
for the 3rd time in my career to my current boss CI Dan Lowe tonight 👋🏽
He was my first Sgt straight out of police training in 2008 and has looked after me and given me opportunities and advice ever since👌🏽
A one of a kind leader and he will be greatly missed 🙌🏽
Yesterday my team attended a domestic stabbing .The offender was arrested but sadly he bit one of the officers-breaking their skin
Hardest part of my role is seeing decent kind good colleagues being hurt doing their job😞
Thank you to
