A huge thank you to @NealDonohoe and his team for making this happen. Today was Evie’s birthday. She was born with a hole in her heart. Evie loves the police so today these amazing officers came to wish her happy birthday. Met officers are the finest officers in the world!

This is the image of Alan Morfett threatening a member of the public with a large knife. He was swiftly arrested by EA officers. Today, despite all their hard work- he walked out of court with a suspended sentence. Today they must be asking themselves why they even bothered? 1/2

A big shout out to all our police officers who are facing another difficult week. To all those who are there on our streets doing an outstanding job regardless of your own MH battles and every other challenge- thank you. There are some who are thankful for you in our communities.

@NormanBrennan You forget that nobody cares about knife crime. We write about several times a week and report on in it more than any other paper. These bereaved mothers and families are tired- tired of campaigning and battling and NO ONE cares.

We’ve been informed today for some is ‘ACAB’ day- we’d like to pay tribute to the thousands of incredible officers across the country who despite terrible conditions-do an outstanding job on our street. Some of whom will today save lives. Remember those who lost their life for us.

The distressing footage of today’s sword attack in Hainault shows the outstanding and remarkable bravery of our Police officers. Despite having a sword aimed at them, they arrested the suspect. We hope all those injured both members of the public and police make a full recovery.

@obbsie Firefighters and police officers went from fire to fire yesterday with NO respite in extreme heat. They were dehydrated, tired, and emotionally distraught to have to tell people their homes were ashes and they had lost everything. Any one who criticises them needs a reality check.

Awful to hear an officer was injured. We wish them well and well done for removing more dangerous weapons off our street.
Whilst on patrol in #Barking, officers signalled a motorbike to stop. The rear passenger fled but was caught after a brief chase. Upon searching the man, knives were found on him and he was #arrested. Unfortunately, an officer was injured during the arrest. @HaveringDaily @BDPost

One of the biggest complaints officers hear is that there isn’t enough of them visible. Here is an officer reaching out to his community to pop along and see him and look at the ridiculous comments he received for engaging with the community. Well done Sgt Watson 👏🏻.

It’s mental health awareness week and this police officer does an AMAZING job not only highlighting the vital importance and respect of our planet. But also just how healing nature is. Well done 🙌🏻👏🏻. You encourage so many to be at one with Mother Earth 🌍 🌳🌲.
“He inspired us to get out and enjoy our wonderful planet” is something I’d be happy to have on my headstone 😊. I’m delighted a simple idea spread and very grateful to all the people who have shared their photos & made it possible. Time outdoors is good for us 😊.#TreeClub🌳.

We have worked many jobs with mounted branch officers and the officers and their horses are amazing. It’s great to see them out and about. For the record these horses are beautiful and many children love seeing them at events. All respect to our mounted branch officers.
🐎 MOUNTED RIOT POLICE DEPLOYED. 🚔 Earlier today, two @metpoliceuk officers arrived at Westminster Bridge on horseback—it is unclear whether they hoped the Just Stop Oil supporters would get off the road at the sight of a horse, but the march continued onwards into Westminster.

There are many fantastic police officers across London whose work is invaluable to our community. It is sad to see their constant berating and very little praise. Let us remember that it is these very officers on our streets who daily risk their lives to save ours. Thank you.
@NormanBrennan @KarenFindlayMPS @apoliticaleye It's all falling apart Norman a view which is echoed on Met SM groups & I believe the Met's own Intranet. Constant references to '100's' of bad cops far outweigh the very occasional reference to the 1000's of good ones. Communication, as here & generally is woeful.
