Purposely 40 mins early for work. No reason other than i believe it’s important to set example by-
•Being ready on time
•Boots polished
•Briefed & updated
•An example as a supervisor to the teams about standards
•There if anyone needs a chat
Or I’m just old fashioned 🤷♂️

I didn’t get offended.
I didn’t comment.
I didn’t feel the need to change their mind.
I still like the person.

Foot chase recently in a forestry area that left the suspect hiding 👮♂️🏃♂️

Why??
Suspect - “I heard the officer with the Irish accent (me) directing the dog unit to where I was hiding. I’m not about messing with the dogs mate”

Happy to go on record, having watched the full video&being aware of the powers available to PC Lathwood,FULLY support the courts decision offer my full backing
I will further reach out to him directly to make him aware also that my thoughts are shared with many non vocal others
PC Perry Lathwood, who was found guilty of common assault in May, has had his conviction overturned at court.
The alleged offence related to an incident in Croydon in June 2023 where a woman was arrested on suspicion of fare evasion.

Really? No other cars on the road. Can see the flashing lights to to side for a period of time. Police vehicle then goes in front. Even then he still purposely goes around it or attempts to. Whatever spin is tried to be put on this, those are at least facts.

Hi
@virginmedia
You’ve emailed me to say you aim to break my contract early & increase my payment by 40% monthly
In the email you say I can cancel with no fee but when I call I’m told I MUST pay a £220 cancellation fee?
Would you care to explain please?
