Amazing. The officer has just chased & tasered a violent suspect and is criticised for being 'too nice' after inflicting considerable pain. He's done everything by the book and not given a defence brief any wriggle room
Esmaaeel Mohamed, 19 walked into a shop in the town centre then stole a knife, ran out and stabbed a man multiple times demanding his mobile phone. Why is the officer so friendly! 🤷♂️ Our police force is a literal joke 🤦

Unfortunately so more deeply sad news to share with you, that PC Luke North has died. 😔 I was privileged to work with Luke for a number of years and will forever remember his kindness and wonderful smile. 🫡 Thinking of all of Luke’s loved ones and colleagues. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

Just seen the devastating and tragic news from @EssexPoliceUK 🙏🏼 Themselves running towards an emergency call! Life can be so cruel! Thinking of the officers colleagues/family, as someone who is married to an officer I cannot imagine their pain 🙏🏼💙 https://t.co/RZyMR2fE9q

Feeling down? Please reach out for support... every dark night is greeted by daylight. A bad day is a sign of a better day to come... A problem shared is a problem destined for a solution. 💙💙💙
I posted this a year ago but was reminded today that the uniform is neutral and is only made special by the exceptional men and women who wear it. That said, it's a uniform, not a forcefield. If you need a caring ear, call the Samaritans 24/7 on 116 123. Support the Blue!

The #Furrystressbuster AKA #ThemoraleOfficer @metpoliceuk was doing what he does best- bringing a smile and a bit of joy to the hard pressed Cops at Acton Police station @metpoliceuk . A team had recently dealt with the tragic death of a teenager who died on the rail network .

What police officers see and do on a daily basis never ceases to amaze me, it is a world that most can thankfully never picture. Often young men and women who are just attempting to do their best in the most horrendous of circumstances, read @MPSBrent thread for more examples ...
Two PCs from our Emergency Response teams have received a citation for professionalism, bravery, and providing lifesaving emergency first aid to a victim who had received serious gunshot wounds during a shooting incident in Brent. Their actions saved the victim’s life.

Of the 90% of UK police officers who have suffered extreme traumatic experiences connected with their work, more than 20% are still suffering clinically diagnosable levels of disorder. 100+ officer suicides in the last 3 years is too many.

Police officers who use force in the course of their duty should only face future misconduct charges if their actions meet the threshold for criminal proceedings, the Government has announced. https://t.co/chm1p5mqnA

Mental health is not a destination but a journey 😊🙌🏽 Investing in processes like getting outside and enjoying the autumnal sights/smells can really change what that journey looks/feels like 🍂🌳 #Wellbeing #TreeClub
