Night of action by our Special Constables. Fantastic to see so many giving up their time and getting involved. The streets will be safer tonight!

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Well if things stay as they are, that should be me done for the Xmas period. I hope everyone has a safe & peaceful time & whatever your faith or belief, Merry Christmas.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

It's not much but at least my office has a slight Xmas feel to it.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

@JamieClarkBuck1 @DCIDibble Thanks Jamie. Always try to include all and not offend. Resources covers all, people, animals and even technical.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

My view for the past couple of nights whilst Silver London for the elections. At least I'm dry, which is more than my resources are! 'PC Rain' has been working hard.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

@JamieClarkBuck1 Hi Jamie, definitely people, but also dogs and often horses as well. Resources covers it all but I get your point.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Wanted to do something special to recognise the hard work by my teams, so I have made each of them cookies for Xmas. Seemed like a great idea until I realised it was over 500 staff! 150 given out thus far. Feeling like Mary Berry! Ho Ho Ho.

I am once again humbled by the response to another Terror attack by all emergency services but especially my Met colleagues who have faced tragedy, extremely long tours in freezing conditions without any warning & never a word of complaint. Only a true desire to serve others

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

I was once again part of the command team for the terror attack on London Bridge yesterday. Sobering as I was part of it back in 2017. So sad and my heart goes out to the poor victims and their families.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

The picture says it all. Especially for our American communities.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Always a great pleasure & privilege to be part of the CE BCU commendation ceremony. Made even more special by the location it is held in.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Central East BCU remembers. Eternally grateful to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Lest we forget.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Always honoured to be asked to participate in Remembrance Day parades & services on behalf of the BCU & the organisation. Great public turnout at Hackney.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Have a safe & enjoyable time everyone. Remember, if you do not want trick or treaters calling, then turn off your front lights & stay inside.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Today is different. Supporting one of my staff on 'This Morning' for the Pride of Britain awards.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Truly honoured & privillaged to be part of the memorial service remembering our fallen colleague PC Matthew Parsonson. Tragically killed in the line of duty this day in 1994.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

My view for the rest of today!

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

My 'Command Suite' for the day. Not too shabby. In fact, it would make SOR jealous.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

On duty and on my way in to command HC. Expecting a long day. At least the participants have the weather.

[Supt Matthews @ChInspMatthews]

Great day today at the CE family fun day. So nice to see so many future police officers in the making. Always special to have the dog and mounted sections along as well.
