Even after over 23 years service, you come across things that you struggle to comprehend. Like yesterday when some great fast track work from the team identified a recently stolen caravan being towed by a vehicle on false plates, but then to find the driver was only 11 years old!
Heartbroken💔 This morning my beautiful mum gained her angel wings peacefully in her sleep👼🌈
My heart is aching right now but I’m taking strength from the many messages of support from family & friends to keep me strong.
Sleep well mum, I love you💙🙏🥲
It would appear that my mate

has grown a little in the past 10 weeks!! Just the 30kgs now. Still a complete ball off fluff though with paws like dinner plates

Had to deliver the worst news ever tonight too. Still maintain the most difficult part of our job & never gets any easier. My pain however is insignificant compared to the family I was with & my thoughts are with them at this difficult time. Hug your loved ones tight folks 💙
Not normally one to post too much family stuff on twitter but in these challenging times I feel it’s only right to wish Mrs C a very happy ‘stay at home’ birthday. Behind every good man, there’s a great woman & this one is one in a million & always there for me

I know this has been on social media a lot today but here is a version with English subtitles. I applaud their approach to dealing with drivers who think it is acceptable to take photos at collision scenes
Today has been the hardest day ever.
However I had the absolute pleasure to carry my mum on her final journey. A beautiful soul inside & out, sleep tight mum🙏💙

You couldn’t write this!! As my colleague came alongside a driver on his mobile phone and illuminated this sign it took a while for him to comply with the request. His answer “I didn’t realise you were a cop, I thought it was an Instagram request”! 🤦♂️

Turned away at court because I was carrying a

which is part of my personal protective equipment that I’m authorised & trained to carry. Apparently a decision by HM Courts not to allow officers giving evidence to enter with TASER but ok if they are responding to an incident

Well that’s a weird feeling, but paperwork submitted and less than 3 months to go. Think I will have the summer off and spend some quality time with the family before evaluating my options for the next chapter. I don’t however have any idea what that will be!
Back from an evening of celebration but can’t help feeling anything but sadness. Proud to be in my best Bib & Tucker when I head the sad news of the Queens passing. 2 uniforms, 30 plus years service, 1 boss. Rest in peace your majesty
