Is there any wonder why retention & recruitment is a problem. Low income, poor shift patterns, long working hours, increase in assaults & being investigated for protecting society & simply doing a job. A job like no other where our officers run towards danger.

Many of our colleagues have not yet received their 1st vaccination. Today we hear the PM talking about 2nd vaccination & vaccination certificates. Across policing officers still remain at risk to this virus, but still there is no priority to vaccinate the frontline.

It's with great sadness that we're reporting the death of an officer due to Covid-19.

Liberty has taken a stance but appears unwilling either to enter into a conversation about spit guards or suggest alternatives. Our colleagues deserve protection from the vile and degrading behaviour of the minority who choose to spit.
At least 30 police forces in England & Wales now use spit hoods. They are dangerous, degrading and unjustified. They have no place in the future of policing and must be relegated to the past.

There really is only so much overtime officers can do. How well does anyone perform when they’re exhausted?
Knife crime crisis: Home Sec holding 2nd scheduled meeting with police chiefs - 1st one not even reported. Police chiefs demand money for overtime - many officers have no more capacity. Prime Minister refuses more money for policing as it’ll contradict her policy as Home Sec. 🤬
