Went for a costa coffee this morning with a friend and colleague. Everything is fine till a baby on the next table starts choking on their crispy cake blocking their airway. First aid administered and the little fella is good and acting like nothing has happened @markdean1 👍

Today I did a talk to reception at school. Favourite question last year “have you ever tasered anyone in the eyeball?” This year, when I got the handcuffs out and asked if they knew what they were, one pupil says “handcuffs, my mum has got some” Teachers and I were in hysterics😗

On Sunday, 12 of our specials completed their cycle course. A very physical course including a 10 mile cycle route to test their endurance & with a lot of mud too. This will allow our specials to go out on cycle patrol together, with pcso’s & regular colleague’s. @MerseySpecials

The giants have now gone. A brilliant contribution by Merseyside specials across the 3 days supporting the regulars and assisting the public. Probably never get to see Liverpool any busier than it’s been these last few days. @MerseySpecials

CPD event for @MerseySpecials was run last night for over 50 specials with guests speakers from 10 depts giving a dragons den style pitch of what they do and why they would like specials to assist them. A great example of the increased value of specials and working as one team 👌
